More Lunchtime Musings

Here's more from the CIA Encyclopedic Cookbook (1964)!

"Sandwiches, whether for picnic or lunch box, should be fresh, tasty, nutritious, well-filled and attractively wrapped. Remember that the sandwich must contirbute to the day's good nutrition. Select and make fillings with care and keep a cariety of them always on hand and fresh. Small screw-top jars for storage in refrigerator are handy. The supply can be replenished during morning cooking hours. Use whole grain breads frequently in addition to other carieties. Pack lettuce or other greens in containers, waxed paper or cellophane, to be added to sandwiches at time of eating."

Here are some of the fillings:

Cheese


1/2 cup grated American cheese
2 tablespoons chopped pimento
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 tablespoons minced sweet pickle
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped


1/2 cup Camenbert
8 slices cooked, drained and minced bacon


3/4 cup grated American cheese
1/4 cup ground ham
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise



More fillings to come tomorrow!
