The Waldorf salad without the apple, bound in cream cheese and slid between crustless white for the British tea tray; the 1896 New York dish London absorbed.
Cloth-bound Cheddar held into a third year: tyrosine crystals that crunch, salt grown heavier as moisture leaves, a meaty length that holds for seconds. The age end of the British cheese sandwich.
Cold roast turkey and a slab of sage-and-onion stuffing on buttered white bread, made on the morning of the 26th of December from the fridge by the family that ate the bird.

Fresh tomato slices with salt on buttered bread; simple summer sandwich.
