To make good sandwiches it is necessary to have bread that is at least a day old, a sharp knife, and soft butter. Soften your butter by putting it in a dish at the back of the stove for a few minutes.

Butter your loaf of bread before cutting off each slice and cut the slices thin. Lay the buttered slices neatly together and trim off the crusts. Various fillings can be used; any kind of cold meat, chopped up fine, cheese, jam, jelly, or slices of hard boiled egg.

You can make a most delicious sandwich out of thin slices of brown bread, with a filling of the cottage cheese on page 67. Cottage cheese mixed with a little jam is a delicious filling for white bread sandwiches.

A slice of plain cake and a slice of buttered bread together make a very good combination.
