Sandwiches.
Peanut Sandwiches, No. 2.
Mix the prepared peanuts with mayonnaise dressing. Butter two pieces of bread; spread one with the peanut mixture, the other with shredded lettuce, and press the two together.
Shad-Roe-and-Yellow-Butter Sandwiches.
Ingredients.
- ¼ a pound of butter.
- Sifted yolks of 4 eggs.
- 1 set of shad roe, cooked, pounded in a mortar and sifted.
- ½ a teaspoonful of paprica.
- 4 drops of tobasco sauce.
- 2 teaspoonfuls of very fine-chopped capers.

Green-Butter Sandwiches.
Ingredients.
- ¼ a pound of butter.
- ⅛ a peck of spinach.
- 2 tablespoonfuls of very fine-chopped parsley.
- 6 anchovies.
- 2 teaspoonfuls of very fine-chopped capers.
Method.—Boil the spinach, drain thoroughly, and press through a piece of muslin. Beat the butter to a cream with a wooden spoon; beat into the butter enough of the spinach pulp to give the required tint of green. Wipe the oil from the anchovies, remove the backbone, and pass through a hair sieve; then add to the colored butter, a little at a time; add also the parsley and capers; chill slightly and use as a filling for sandwiches. These butters are used also to mask or decorate cooked fish for "cold service."
