Cheese and Anchovy Sandwich (1939) on Sandwiches of History⁣

Welcome to Sandwiches of History.

Today from The American Woman's Cook Book of 1939, we're going to be making the Cheese and Anchovy Sandwich.

The recipe gives an option for cream cheese or parmesan cheese; I chose cream cheese.

Add anchovy paste and a pinch of mustard to the cream cheese.

The recipe also gives an option to use bread or toast; I chose buttered toast.

Spread the mixture on the buttered toast.

Taste the Cheese and Anchovy Sandwich; it's a little salty but not overwhelming with anchovy paste.

To enhance the sandwich, add a little bit of tomato, seasoned with black pepper.

Taste the plussed-up sandwich; the tomato adds sweetness and freshness, balancing the saltiness of the anchovy paste.
