  TEA SANDWICHES

  CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

  After cutting off the crusts of the bread and cutting the bread into triangles or shapes, butter both sides of the bread.
  Cut seedless cucumber (sold in gourmet supermarkets, always wrapped in cellophane) into very thin slices, and place between bread slices.
  Garnish if desired.
  TUNA SANDWICHES

  Mix one can of tuna (drained) with tuna seasoning and enough mayonaise to make a thick spread.
  Spread on prepared slices of bread. You may add thin slices of cucumber if desired along with garnish.
  SALMON SANDWICHES

  Spread cream cheese on prepared slices of bread.
  Place thin slices of smoked salmon (Nova is particularly good) between slices of bread.
  EGG SANDWICHES

  Spread on slices of prepared bread.

  Rinse and dry watercress and lay between slices of bread.

Lovely idea - I can see it in the garden in summer, sittingunder parasols and drinking iced tea...have you ever tried rose petal sandwiches? They are a victorian lady's delicate treat! Cut the crusts off thinly sliced, soft, white bread, use unsalted butter and place pink and red (washed) rose petals in between 2 slices, cut into fingers et voila another Victorian delicacy!
