There is a group of rather Æsthetic sandwiches made from thin slices of bread and butter flavored or scented with flowers. Among those in common use are clover, rose and the nasturtium. The crust is trimmed off from the outside of the loaf; the loaf placed down in a clean stone jar in a nest of clover blossoms; the butter is put in a piece of cheese cloth and also covered with clover, and the jar covered over night. The next morning the bread and butter will have the flavor of clover. Rose Sandwiches In making rose sandwiches cover the bread and butter with rose leaves over night. Put a few rose petals between the slices when making the sandwiches. Nasturtium Sandwiches Cover the bread and butter with nasturtium flowers over night. In making the sandwiches place at each corner of the slice a flower, so that in cutting from corner to corner you have a little triangular sandwich holding a nasturtium flower uncut. Violet Sandwiches These are made the same, covering the slice of bread and butter with the petals of the violet.
