SANDWICHES FOR PICNICS

The interest in sandwiches revives with the tennis and picnic seasons, now in full swing. The popular sandwich at a tennis tea is the one that looks unusual and attractive. The following should be weclome: — A very delicious filling is made by pounding two cupfuls of walnuts — shelled and with the skins removed as much as possible — into a mortar with a little cream cheese and enough fresh cream -to make it the right consistency. Spread the mixture upon slices of new bread, sprinkle with a few chopped capers, top slice in position, and press together. Even where there are only odds and ends in the larder it is still possible to turn out excellent picnic meals at short notice. Small portions of different kinds of meat amalgamate very well for sandwiches and pastry patties or turnovers if you mince them I first, season them wisely, and ax-e 1 generous with the butter on the bread. : When you are making ham or | tongue sandwiches, remember that I they will spreal better and remain I tidier and easier to eat it you m nc i or grate the meat or chop it very | finely instead of slicing it. j Cold veai tastes almost exactly like j chicken if it is grated, mixed with j finely chopped, hard-boiled eggs, a little ketchup and salf and pepper. Cold cooked haricot or butter beans can be turned into an excellent sandt -wich paste. Season them with onion ! juice, a little mustard, and a little | grated horseradish, and ixound them i with butter. I Almost any cold fish agrees well j with a piquant sauce and chopped | parsley. ; Chopped blanched almonds are an I excellent addition tff sweet sandj wiches. j Finely sliced bananas with apples, j brown sugar, and brown bread and > butter. I Finely sliced apples are very good ■ with blackcurrant jam. • Honey sandwiches sprinkled with j baked oatmeal make an unusual and I agreeable sweet sandwich.
