slice of smoked cheese.

Hickory is preferred for most of the smoking in America. In New
York the best smoked cheese, whether from Canada or nearer home,
is usually cured in the same room with sturgeon. Since this king
of smoked fish imparts some of its regal savor to the Cheddar,
there is a natural affinity peculiarly suited to sandwiching as
above.

Smoked salmon, eel, whitefish or any other, is also good with
cheese smoked with hickory or anything with a salubrious savor,
while a sandwich of smoked turkey with smoked cheese is out of
this world. We accompany it with a cup of smoky Lapsang Soochong
China tea.

T Tangy Sandwich

On buttered rye spread cream cheese, and on this bed lay thinly
sliced dried beef. In place of mustard dot the beef with
horseradish and pearl onions or those reliable old chopped
chives. And by the way, if you must use mustard on every cheese
sandwich, try different kinds for a change: sharp English freshly
mixed by your own hand out of the tin of powder, or Dijon for a
French touch.

U Unusual Sandwich--of Flowers, Hay and Clover

On a sweet-buttered slice of French white bread lay a layer of
equally sweet English Flower cheese (made with petals of rose,
marigold, violet, etc.) and top that with French Fromage de foin.
This French hay cheese gets its name from being ripened on hay
and holds its new-mown scent. Sprinkle on a few imported capers
(the smaller they are, the better), with a little of the luscious
juice, and dust lightly with Sapsago.

V Vegetarian Sandwich

Roll your own of alternate leaves of lettuce, slices of store
cheese, avocados, cream cheese sprinkled heavily with chopped
chives, and anything else in the Vegetable or Caseous Kingdoms
that suits your fancy.

W Witch's Sandwich

Butter 2 slices of sandwich bread, cover one with a thin slice of
imported Emmentaler, dash with cayenne and a drop or two of
tabasco. Slap on a sizzling hot slice of grilled ham and press it
together with the cheese between the two bread slices, put in a
hot oven and serve piping hot with a handful of
"moonstones"--those outsize pearl onions.

X Xochomilco Sandwich

In spite of the "milco" in Xochomilco, there isn't a drop to be
had that's native to the festive, floating gardens near Mexico
