e top back in place, after inserting a celery
plume at each end. Garnish the serving-dish with celery leaves and
pim-olas or olives. Serve other salads in the same way.
=Mosaic Sandwiches.=
Cut the bread, white, brown and graham, as thin as possible, and use
four or five pieces in each sandwich, putting them together so that the
colors will contrast. Either butter or other filling is admissible.
=Chicken-and-Nut Sandwiches.=
Chop fine the white meat of a cooked chicken and pound to a paste in a
mortar. Season to taste with salt, paprica, oil and lemon juice and
spread upon thin bits of bread. Spread other bits of bread,
corresponding in shape to the first, with butter; press into the butter
English walnuts, pecan nuts or almonds, blanched and _sliced_ very thin.
Press corresponding pieces together.
=Aspic Jelly for Sandwiches.=
Soak one box (two ounces) of gelatine in one cup of cold chicken liquor
until thoroughly softened. Add to three cups of chicken stock, seasoned
with vegetables and sweet herbs according to directions previously
given, also the crushed shell and white of one egg, and proceed as for
aspic jelly. Turn the liquid jelly into rectangular pans, having it
three-eighths of an inch or less in thickness, and set aside in a cool
place to harden. When ready to serve, dip the pan in hot water an
instant, and turn the jelly on to a paper. With a thin, sharp knife cut
the jelly into squares or diamonds, or dip a cutter into hot water and
stamp out into hearts or clubs.
=Lobster Sandwiches with Aspic.=
Chop the lobster fine, mix with mayonnaise dressing to taste, spread
upon a bit of aspic, cover with a crisp lettuce leaf, and above this
place another piece of aspic spread with the lobster mixture. Serve at
once.
=Halibut Sandwiches with Aspic.=
After the aspic is poured into the pans, sprinkle upon it some fine-cut
Spanish pimentos. When ready to serve, prepare as lobster sandwiches
with aspic, using fish in the place of lobster, and, if desired, sauce
tartare in the place of mayonnaise. Shrimps, salmon or other fish,
chicken, veal, tongue, sweetbreads, etc., may be used either with
lettuce or with chopped celery, cress, cucumbers, etc. Or the vegetables
may be used without either fish, flesh or fowl.
