I have a book that contains little comic strip styled instructions on how to do things like a proper 50s and early 60s teenage girl. It's called "Mother Tells You How" or something like that, and is a collection of the illustrated instructionals (is that a word? It is now...) from Girl magazine. In it, one of the things is 'MTYH: to make unusual sandwiches." I don't know about you, but mashed luncheon makes me feel a little concerned- it should be thin and disc shaped. As does butter, honey and maples on brown bread. Not sure what to make of that one.
My girls and I had a 1950s themed picnic today, so I decided to channel my inner unmarried, untrained housewife and made club sandwiches! I made salmon, cream cheese and chive ones, another eight of ham, cheese and gherkin, and then lastly, chicken, lettuce and cranberry jelly. All -delicious-, and all on white bread. To finish it off, I made asparagus rolls by slipping some tinned asparagus into white bread coated with a bit of light margarine. Delish!

They were so good :D
