Curried Oyster Sandwiches Recipe

Butter a slice of bread before you take it off the loaf; cut it about a

half inch thick and remove the crusts. First of all, cover each slice

with a thin layer of hard-boiled egg that has been pressed through a

sieve or chopped very fine. In the center of this sandwich put the soft

parts of six pickled oysters. Put a tablespoonful of butter and one of

flour into a little saucepan; mix without melting; add a gill of thick

cream, a teaspoonful of onion juice and a teaspoonful of curry and a

half teaspoonful of turmeric. Bring to boiling point; beat and stand

away until perfectly cold. When you are ready to serve the sandwiches,

cover each one with a thin layer of this sauce; put a slice of bread on

top, press together, and serve. The sauce must not go over the

sandwiches until you are ready to serve; and then, remember, you have

but one layer between two slices of bread.
