Oyster Sandwiches. — Boil the oys- ters in their own liquor until the edges curl. Remove them from the fire, and when cold chop them with an equal quantity of celery or white let- tuce leaves. Mix them with mayon- naise dressing (they must have been salted when cooked), and use as a filling for brown bread. Another variety of oyster sandwich is made with fried oysters. Allow a large oyster to each sandwich. Cut thin slices of bread as nearly as possible the shape of the oyster, and when buttered place between them the oys- ters delicately browned.
