Cucumber Sandwiches
Peel a cucumber and slice it into transparencies on the slicing side of a grater or with a potato peeler. Sprinkle these see-though discs with a little vinegar and salt. After half and hour, drain away the excess cucumber juice by shuffling the slices in a sieve. Cover a slice of lightly buttered paper-thin brown bread with two layers of cucumber, and top with another slice of bread. Apply firm but delicate pressure with the palm of the hand. Slice off the crusts, and cut into three rectangles. Pile these neatly on a porcelain serving plate, and cover with a lightly dampened cloth until tea is served.
