the sandwich is practical American
institution it is a basic essential for
lunchboxes parties and picnics as far as

and hot dogs are their idea of a really
good meal but there are sandwiches and
sandwiches when Sally gasps go and her
mother bring guests home for a late
snack after a movie they have something
special in the way of a sandwich in mind
Sally calls it tuna rarebit let's watch
how she makes it this is a sandwich four
forks an open-faced creation in other
words with a cheese melt canned tuna
fish mixture on top the basis will be
rye bread mother's idea she found that
the spicy caraway flavor made a good
contrast to the bland fish and cheese
Sally puts a cube about a square inch of
butter into the top of a double boiler
our little butter finds its way into a
great many dishes in this kitchen
not only for flavor but as a blending
agent
part of the trick to entertaining
unexpected guests is keeping on hand
certain generally useful foods one of
these is cheese of an easy melting type
which Sally is going to use as a base
for the rarebit to speed the melting she
cuts this into slices in the milk and
butter mixture while mother butters the
bread the simmer flame keeps the water
boiling gently while the cheese is
melting so that Sally can go on to other
tasks she adds the canned chunk style
tuna fish and noticed that she uses a
wooden spoon to avoid discoloration of
the mixture
although the tuna rarebit is fairly
substantial food in itself it is a good
idea to add something for variation in
color and texture mother is making a
salad dish celery radishes olives and
pickles
Sally adds potato chips to the menu they
used to be exclusively picnic fare but
they've joined the host of useful
accessory foods which make entertaining
so much easier and more fun for
teenagers the bread was toasted quickly
in the broiler and the rarebit is nearly
ready to serve
let's see what will be the beverage
mother thinks she'll give the guests a
choice of coke or milk when you can
offer guests a choice easily
it's a gracious gesture now it's time to
serve two slices of toast our neatly
arranged on each plate and the filling
or perhaps we should say covering goes
on top Sally knows you should serve
cream dishes with extra caution and
effective carelessness here is no asset
mother is a great believer in the
aesthetic value of parsley and of course
it's good to eat too now a touch of
Tabasco for color and a taste surprise
and there's tuna rarebit alla Sally
Gasko as we said there are sandwiches
and sandwiches a wise young homemaker
using good techniques and equipment and
a little imagination can turn a sandwich
into festive fare
