Sandwich Spread
Heinz Sandwich Spread is the relish that needs no second ingredient: chopped vegetables suspended in a sweet-sharp salad-cream emulsion, taken edge to edge on soft white bread.

Pink salmon paste spread in a thin film on buttered white bread: the British larder spread rendered to a smooth, flake-free pink, run by the discipline of using almost none of it.

The Patum Peperium anchovy sandwich, where the whole craft is dosing the loudest paste on the English shelf down to a faint film over butter, cut small for the tea tray.

A scrape of strong potted fish paste on lightly buttered bread: the Victorian preserve that kept fish in a cupboard for months, salted so hard the discipline is using almost none.
Crab Paste
The dark brown body meat of the crab, cooked down and pounded with butter, mace and cayenne, then sealed under a butter cap. The British potted-shellfish spread that carried the coast inland.

A thin tan layer of brown crab paste on buttered white bread: the sweet, deep body meat of the crab boiled down to a spread, the seaside eaten inland off a shelf all year.
