P R O B A B L Y many of you have eaten at
most of the famous places mentioned in
this booklet. You may have ordered
some of these same sandwiches. If so,
you know without our telling you, that
each place is noted for its food, as well as
for its unusual atmosphere. That's why
we are so glad to give you these recipes.
Don't you agree it will be rather exciting
to make, in your own kitchen, the same
sandwiches you order when dining out?
You might serve a Swiss Canape, for instance, next time the bridge club meets;
or surprise your tea guests with a Brown

Of course, any cook will tell you bread is
the most important part of a sandwich.
That's why so many hotels, restaurants
and tea rooms on the Coast use Langendorf breads exclusively. The flavor and

toasts quickly and evenly, stays moist and
tender surprisingly long. You'll find a
Langendorf loaf to satisfy every taste.

hills, and the lovely Hotel Mark Hopkins
i s located right on the peak of the highest
hill. Chef Liot has allowed us to give you
his recipe for a London Club Sandwich.
Although he makes it with pumpernickel

bread. Slice loaves longways and butter all slices. On slice of
pumpernickel put layer of Smoked Ox Tongue, spread with
