RECIPE

18. Sandwiches.
Cut up chicken and cooked ham in the form of small
squares and dice, in the proportion of two-thirds of chicken to
one-third of ham. Stir two tablespoonfuls of sauce with
one of Crosse and Blackwell's curry paste in a stew-pan,
and when it boils, add the chicken and ham ; mix, and
with this preparation make the sandwiches in the manner
following :-Cut some thin slices of stale bread-crumb, stamp
out these with a plain round tin cutter the size of a
crown piece, and fry them with clarified butter of a light
golden brown ; between two of these crusts place a thick
layer of the preparation, and as this is done arrange them
in order on a baking sheet ; then put upon the tops a ball-
the size of a small walnut-composed of grated Parmesan
cheese and butter in equal parts, and kneaded into a paste ;
put into a brisk oven for five minutes, and dish up on a
napkin in pyramid shape.
