Cucumber Sandwiches and Egg and Cress Sandwiches: traditional English high tea fare at its absolute best! The mayonnaise in the filling means that there is no need to butter the bread. I have posted this recipe, found on an English website, for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. As a child, I absolutely loved these. Posting this really low fat recipe for the tour has reminded me of these delicious sandwich, and inspired me to make them again soon!

This is how i make egg salad. Funny how we all have the same stuff in different countries! My hubby blew in and said he was being shipped away for a week so i whipped these up, the cucumber, and some ham sandwiches for him real quick to take! Sorry no crusts removed, he wanted to eat it right away!!

    I love egg and cress sandwiches! Unfortunately, it's hard to buy mustard and cress where I live, so I grow my own. It's not hard, but takes about a week, so you have to be prepared. I never cut off the crusts though. Didn't your mother ever tell you to eat your crusts and it'd make your hair go curly? It worked for me!
