TEA and BRIDGE DISHES—Continued

A “Spread Your Own’ Party

On a tray arrange uniform small dishes of sandwich fillings. Ona
second tray put slices of bread, assorted crackers, potato chips, etc.,
on which each guest may spread the filling desired.

In a divided appetizer dish or a tray of small dishes put an assort-
ment of salted nuts, gherkins, ripe and green olives, etc. With
them serve slices of bread and butter, or bread and butter fingers.

SALAD SANDWICH LOAF

Remove all the crusts from a loaf of bread. Cut it in four length-
wise slices. Spread each with butter, then with sandwich filling,
using fillings which harmonize in flavor or color, or all the fillings
might be chicken salad. Pile up in the shape of the original loaf and
frost all over with a smooth paste of cream or cottage cheese mixed
with salad dressing. Broken nut meats may be sprinkled over it.

SHRIMP, CELERY AND EGG SANDWICHES

Wash, drain and clean one tin dry packed shrimps. Finely chop,
measure and combine with half their bulk of chopped celery. For
each cup of mixture allow | hard-boiled egg finely chopped. Season
with salt, paprika and moisten with mayonnaise dressing or cooked
salad dressing. Spread thin slices of white bread with the mixture,
spread an equal number with mayonnaise dressing, cover with
lettuce leaf, put together in pairs. Press the edges, trim off crusts,
cut in narrow strips.

BRIDGE DISH
1 Tin Chicken Haddie 21%, Cups Milk
1 Small Tin Pimento 3 Tablespoons Flour
1 Can Peas Butter, Salt and Pepper

1 Hard Boiled Egg

In the top of double boiler, make white sauce of the milk, flour and
butter. Add the chicken haddie, the can of peas and the pimento
which has been chopped finely, then the cold boiled egg, which has
been diced. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve in pattie shells, which
have been previously heated. This makes enough for 8 people.
We find it much better to make this filling and let it stand, then

reheat before serving. We think it improves the taste. _
