Sandwich Platter
In the 20th century sandwiches gained a world-wide popularity but at first they were not the varied snack and healthy meal as they are now. The first sandwiches were just a piece of meat between slices of bread to keep the fingers clean. Today a sandwich can come in virtually any shape, size and taste, the options are endless.
If you have a party with more than a couple of people attending, you will probably want to feature a snack bar or a buffet of some sort. Sandwiches are really easy to prepare and a light meal for everyone making sure you don't have to cook a completely different dishes for people who don't eat meat. A vegetarian sandwich platter is just fine.
Chicken salad sandwiches are really popular amongst meat lovers who like a balanced and light snack with their tea. Most chicken salad sandwiches are built on the same base of chicken leftover or cooked boneless chicken breast pieces.
Some sort of grease is added, most often chicken fat combined with mayonnaise and garlic. To balance out the meat in the sandwich, lettuce is added. Some people use apple pieces but not everyone is fond of that mixture of sweet and salty.
Bacon burgers have a rented spot on all sandwich platters. Most variations have crispy bacon and a mix of vegetables. A North American variation, BLT, is a really popular combination of of bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.
Menus in bigger restaurants offered this sandwich as early as 1950. Bacon sandwiches are often sold in greasy spoons in England. With some baked beans, sliced mushroom or tomato slices and garnish they are a fine meal.
Not all sandwiches have to contain any meat to be a delicious snack on the platter, the original English cucumber sandwich is easy to make, quick but really delicious compliment to the afternoon tea or any party with people with a taste for a light sandwich.
The perfect cucumber sandwich is made of firm peeled seedless cucumber slices, white bread and sea salt. One piece of bread is to be buttered with salted English butter, salted cucumber is laid on this, and after you sprinkle the whole thing with ground pepper another slice tops it off.
Before serving, cut the crust and divide diagonally, or if you have bigger slices of bread cut along both diagonals.
Catering experience is not needed to please your guests or just to have a nice sandwich platter available at the buffet with some tea. With the sandwiches described above you'll be able to offer everyone a snack they like.
