2. A well packed box gives appetite
appeal.

3. Sandwiches must be carefully wrapped
in wax or bread paper to keep them
from drying out or becoming soggy.

4. Pieces of fruits and vegetables should
be washed and dried, and wrapped in
wax paper.

5. Small glass jars or paper containers are
useful in packing salads and desserts.
Wax paper should be tied over the top
if covers are not available.

6. Pack jars, whole fruit and other heavy food at the bottom of the box.

7. Tiny salt and pepper shakers help to encourage the eating of raw
vegetables.

8. A paper or cotton napkin should be placed on top of the box before
the cover goes on. An extra napkin for a desk cover adds to the
attractiveness of the lunch as well as providing a clean surface for
laying out the food.

SANDWICHES

‘Use thin slices of bread with plenty of spread]’’ Vary the
bread--whole wheat, Vitamin B (Canada Approved), rye, steamed
brown bread, raisin bread, nut bread, etc. Soften butter by creaming
with a fork and spread well out to the edges of the bread, Butter, like
cream cheese, helps to keep moist fillings from soaking into the bread.
Fillings should be moist and nicely seasoned. Be generous with the
fillings and spread out to the edges of the bread. @>
