It would be hard to give definite rules for making sandwiches, so many different things may be made into attractive fillings. Small left-overs of meat or vegetables, or fruit, if blended properly, will make good fillings.
What is true of soups and salads is also true of sandwiches. Inventiveness and artistic ability in combining materials count for much.
Sandwiches should be cut neatly if used in boxes for lunches. They should be wrapped separately in oiled paper. If they are to be kept for several hours, before using it is best to wrap them in a damp cloth. This will keep them fresh and moist.
