    My own dear Momma sliced the crusts off the bread and then cut the crustless bread diagonally into triangles, sometimes she would toast the bread and then add the cucumber sandwich topping. Nice memories.

    Mmmm, cucumber sandwiches, tomato sandwiches, peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, and peanut butter, pickle and liverwurst sandwiches--or any combination of the above--all with mayo and/or cream cheese, of course. This sure stirred up memories. I once had a green olive and walnut sandwich. I found a recipe that uses pecans, and luckily, I have pecan trees, so I will be making one of these.Tiny squeeze of lemon or lime in any of these mixtures will send it over the top. Or...rice vinegar. Dang, now I'm hungry for fancy little sandwiches.

    My mom made them for circle meetings( womens church group), and showers etc. was considered then in my memory as “ ladies finger food”. But they were good. She used white bread, crusts removed and made into squares or rectangles, smallish in size.

  • @ohredbrd

    I've never made these but I've had the pleasure of eating them. The way that I always saw them made was cutting the crust off first and then making a Criss cross-cut in the piece of bread so you had four triangles. But then you use two triangles for each finger sandwich with the cucumber mix in the middle. That's not the important part of course the cucumber is, and I haven't had this for years. I think I'm going to use your recipe! I even remember years ago that they sold little loaves of bread with no crust that came in colors, pink blue yellow. As I recall it was made specifically for making finger sandwiches.

    My mother first made them for a friend’s wedding shower. Then I started making them for the family. I made them a couple of years ago for my book club. Everyone raved. My mother used thin white bread, cut the crust off then cut the sandwiches in to quarters. Yummy!

    We made them using little party rye bread spread cream cheese topped with a slice or two of thin cucumber then sprinkled with dill. I like to make them your way. They are refreshing. Thanks for the video. We also called them Benedictine sandwiches and sometimes the cream cheese had a little green food coloring added. Kentucky girl.

    Tammy, I’m 76 y/o and my mama made this and I was told it originated in Kentucky and was used for Derby appetizers and served on small patty rye bread. The cucumber is grated and the liquid is tightly drained off. The onion is scooped with the curved part of a spoon and that liquid and pulp is mixed together with the cream cheese. Texture can be adjusted with Mayo if desired. Salt but no pepper is added. It’s so yummy and pretty unique outside Kentucky parties. It’s called Benedictine and a few drops of green food color give it a delightful pastel color.

I made the little "Baby Shower" foods (cucumber sandwich's and pineapple spread sandwich's) and brought out the best tea cups. Sweet sweet memories.

    My mother always took me to the quilting bee that she went to every week at 1 of the members homes to help quilt a quilt that was in progress at one of the homes. We would go to that persons house every week until her quilt was finished , then start going to the next persons house that had her quilt top ready to start doing the quilting on till it was finished. Each member made her own quilt top but when it was time to quilt it, she would have an all day quilting bee and serve us a nice little lunch. Those were the good old days. I’m 88 now but I remember them so well and I had my own little sewing kit to work on my doll quilt that was made from the scraps the ladies saved for me. Waste not want not in those days. ( late 30 ‘s early 40 ‘s I was about 7 years old but my mama taught me to sew when I was about 5 and to take tiny stitches in a straight row. Sorry this is so long, guess I got carried away with my good memories. I love watching you cook Tammy and use lots of your recipes bc I still like to cook. Even if it’s just for myself now. Is that Chris singing at the beginning of the video bc it sounds like him. Very good voice.

    Hi from Southern California. I grew up in the 50s in Connecticut and remember asking my mother for store bought bread; she always made our bread and biscuits but *never* made corn bread. I only found out when I was grown that my father refused to have corn meal in the house. He'd grown up poor and they had to eat corn bread, and mush so often he couldn't stand it.
