nto any preferred shape. Slightly
sweeten some thick cream and add a speck of salt. Spread the bread with
a thin layer of the cream, then with the banana pulp put together and
wrap each in waxed paper, twist the ends, and keep very cold until
serving time.
~GERMAN RYE BREAD SANDWICHES~--Put between buttered slices of rye bread
chopped beef, cheese or chicken, and cover with finely chopped pickle,
dill or the plain sour pickle. Another variation of the German sandwich
is a layer of bologna sausage, then a thin layer of pumpernickel covered
with another thin slice of rye bread. Cut into strips half an inch wide
and the length of the slice.
~GRILLED SARDINES ON TOAST~--Drain the sardines and cook in a buttered
frying-pan or chafing dish until heated, turning frequently. Place on
oblong pieces of hot buttered toast, and serve.
~HAM SANDWICHES~--Chop two cups of ham, using a little fat with the

add one-half cup of boiling water, and cook five minutes; then add the
ham and one teaspoon of dry mustard. Mix well and press into a bowl or
jar.

in small pieces. Put into a saucepan with just a little milk or cream to
moisten, add a little butter and a dusting of salt and pepper. Work to a
paste while heating, then cool and spread on thin slices of buttered
bread.
~KEDGEREE~--For this take equal quantities of boiled fish and boiled
rice. For a cupful each use two hard boiled eggs, a teaspoonful curry
powder, two tablespoonfuls butter, a half tablespoonful cream, and
salt, white pepper and cayenne to season. Take all the skin and bone
from the fish and put in a saucepan with the butter. Add the rice and

Toss over the fire until very hot, then take up and pile on a hot dish.
Rub the yolks of the boiled eggs through a sieve on top of the curry,
and serve.
