Holiday Sandwich “Package”

3 Comments

Another in the realm of my family won’t consider this but…this one sounds pretty good. (If you like deviled ham and relish…and catsup. I would be tempted to choose a mustard in place of the catchup.)

Holiday Sandwich Package

1 2-pound loaf unsliced white bread
2 4 1/2 ounce cans deviled ham
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons catsup
Radish roses

Cut out center of loaf leaving 1/2 inch shell around ends and sides. Slice bread thinly and spread with a mixture of deviled ham, relish, mayonnaise and catsup. Place sandwiches in bread shell and garnish with radishes. “Tie” loaf with holiday ribbon. Makes 24 small sandwiches.

    No thank you. My grandma used to make this.

    Trying to picture this in my head…any photographic evidence? I would love to see it.

    Sorry, no photographic evidence for that one. Picture little cocktail sandwiches packed into a bread bowl at your local “we serve food in bread bowls” places but with the lid on top-not to the side and tied up with a bow.
