There are many types of sandwiches, made from a diverse variety of ingredients.

  Fillings in this type of sandwiches are presented between two or more slices of bread that is sometimes toasted.
  The crusts may or may not be removed, depending upon your preference.

  They may be served whole, cut in half or cut in to finger food sizes.

Sandwich-Making Tips

1. When cutting bread, keep slices together in pairs so that they will fit together.
2. Have butter, margarine, or spread at room temperature so that it will spread without tearing the bread.
   Use cream if necessary. Be sure that the spread is very thin.
3. Bread may also be layered with one or more types of filling as in club sandwich.
4. Different colours of bread can be combined together and sliced differently to make interesting designs for the sandwich.
5. Apply spread on bread evenly to prevent sogginess.
6. Vary your sandwiches by using different bread types and fillings.
