nto sandwiches ? We have al- ready spoken of bread for sandwiches, which must be cut of even thickness and, for the school luncheon, must have the crusts left on. When the crusts are cut off for " fancy "' sandwiches, they should be saved for a scalloped dish of some kind. Brown bread may be used as well as white. The question at the beginning of this page can be answered by saying, *' Almost anything eatable."' The bread should be evenly buttered, and the material used, neatly put in ; and, if the sandwich is not to be very dry by lunch time, it should be wrapped in paper. If you are serving sandwiches at a fair or entertainment, put a damp napkin over them. What does sandwich mean } " Sandwich '' is another word with a story. An Englishman, an Earl of Sandwich (Sandwich being the name of a place or town), who did not want to stop to eat, used to have slices of bread with ham between, taken to him — a convenient way of having a simple meal. If you butter bread, put in it a bit of crisp lettuce or water cress, add slices of hard-boiled egg or cheese, or a bit of cold meat, and another piece of buttered bread, you have a little meal, have you not .? How can we prepare meat for sandwiches ? You do not need meat for luncheon at school ; but, if it is more convenient sometimes for Mother to give you that than anything else, a little will do no harm. LUNCHEON AT SCHOOL 59 6o FOOD AND HEALTH The meat should be sliced thin, or chopped and moistened a little, that it may be spread nicely on the bread. Eggs for the school luncheon? Some people think hard-boiled eggs indigestible ; but they are really not so. An egg cooked hard takes somewhat longer to digest ; and, if we swallow it almost whole, it may not be good for us. Nevertheless a hard-boiled egg is a convenient and useful food. Sliced or chopped and seasoned pleasantly, we must chew egg if it is in a sand- wich. This is a good way to take it. The egg should cook in boiling water a half hour at least. Cut it fine, moisten with a little milk, salt it, put it between the bread — and you have a very palatable sandwich. Nuts for luncheon. We often think of nuts as some- thing to be eaten " for fun,"" as somebody says, forget- ting that the squirrel can thrive upon them. The squirrel is certainly a most lively and energetic little person, sometimes getting the nuts before you do. Yes, the nuts that you love to gather in the crisp autumn weather are a good food for you, provided you chew them as well as Squirrel does. Eat them with plain bread and butter at lunch time ; or chop them, mix them with a little sour-milk cheese
