Ah, the humble Cucumber Sandwich, one of my personal favorites, now you might be wondering why Fluttershy isn't writing this and why a being such as myself would partake in something so simple? Well, little ponies the light, and refreshing finger sandwich is a staple to all tea parties, even mine. It's light and flavorful and easy to produce.
Now then, let's discuss bread, spread, and sandwich creation.
-The poor pony's plate.
This is for you little ponies who just want the taste of cucumber sandwich for yourselves and are looking for a simple summertime lunch that's quick and easy.
-Two slices of sandwich bread.
-A tablespoon of mayo.
-1/4 of a large cucumber sliced into either thick or thin slices.
And there you have it an extremely bare-bones sandwich, unremarkable and generally considered to be, unimpressive to most. But it gets the job done if you're feeding yourself. Now, then, let's get fancy with the traditional finger sandwich.
The traditional sandwich you will need...
-Two slices of bread for four sandwiches
-Two tablespoons of cream cheese
-chives
-Dill
-A tablespoon of mayo
-Cucumber
-garlic powder
Take your slices of bread from earlier and cut the crust off, if you don't want to produce any waste, feed your kitchen partner, in this case Fluttershy, the crusts or if you're producing a large quantity of sandwiches, set them out to dry to make bread crumbs.
Next slice the bread in half, you'll get about four sandwiches per two slices of bread, remember this is finger food after all...well for me it his since I have fingers...or claws.
For a small serving such as this use three tablespoons of cream cheese and one tablespoon of mayo. Half a teaspoon of dill and chives and an 1/8th of a tea spoon of garlic power and finally another chunk of English cucumber.
Do you ever wonder why certain 'real' world names are used in our universe? Oh, Twilight is telling me not to ramble on oh well...
Next mix up your spread and then lightly spread your spread on the little pieces of bread and assemble. Now your tea party can be as eloquent and fancy as the Canterlot elites.
