Suggestions for cut lunches

The ever-lasting search for new ideas for cut lunches is always with busy housewives. Here are some suggestions to tempt schoolchildren and husbands who take their lunch to work, or to add tasty interest to a family picnic basket. Use big hearty meat sandwiches for a filling treat. Try roast chicken with slices of tasty cheese, salami, ham, tongue, dill pickles or coleslaw. How about roast pork with apple-sauce or dill pickle? Roast lamb goes well with mint jelly or curry mayonnaise. Corned beef with coleslaw, pickles, olives or sauerkraut is great. And bacon with sliced hard-boiled egg, or just on its own, always gets them asking for more. MAKE IT CHEESE Try these for filling with extra zest: Chopped dates or figs with chopped peanuts and cream cheese. Cottage cheese, chopped peanuts, peach jam, Cream cheese and sliced radishes. Tasty cheesespread, sliced salami, prepared mustard. Cream cheese, chopped green pepper, olives, celery. HOW ABOUT PEANUT BUTTER Mix peanut butter with any of these: Chopped crisp bacon and apple and a little cream; grated carrot, chopped raisins and celery; minced ham and picle relish; chopped dates and figs and lemon juice; chopped nuts and honey.
