Sandwiches

by Sarah Tyson Heston Rorer

Excerpt from Sandwiches

Sandwiches may be made from one Of three or four kinds Of bread; whole Wheat bread, Boston brown or oatmeal bread, white bread and rye bread made into square, deep loaves; in fact, all bread used for sandwiches should be made especially for the purpose, so that the slices may be in good form, and sufficiently large to cut into fancy shapes. The butter may be used plain, slightly softened or it may be seasoned and ?avored with just a suspicion Of paprika, a little white pepper, and a few drops Of Worcestershire sauce.

Never have I ever contemplated reading a recipe book from cover to cover, but I absolutely adored this little classic gem. So so many different filings for sandwiches, chicken with almonds, potato sandwiches, cherry sandwiches & many more than I'm itching to try. Sometimes the oldies are always the best, heres to the next one.

They certainly went to a lot of trouble to make sandwiches 100 years ago, much more than in today's humble sanger. The book even includes a recipe for making yeast from potatoes.

published in 1894 by mrs. s. t. rorer and found in 2017 in my mom's hoarder kitchen, it's hard to say which sandwich I am the most fascinated by.

curry sandwich? sieved egg and pickled oyster.

or workman's cheese sandwich? cottage cheese is the cheese in there. COTTAGE CHEESE.

or Indian sandwiches? sardines, anchovies and 6 boiled egg yolks.

or cherry sandwiches? Candied cherries and sherry.

there are more but they're less disturbing. Han sandwich doesn't cause quite the same reaction for example.

fascinating find.
