quick culinary query

🌲⛄️🌲 Lovely Readers, I’ve a quandary: a holiday party looms. 🌲⛄️🌲

Making finger sandwiches Tuesday for an evening do & don’t want soggy bread.

Do I liberally spread marge over the crust-less bread before adding the filling?

Then cover with a damp towel to keep them from drying out?

THANK YOU in advance ! ! !

Yes, trial run….one with cling wrap and one with damp toweling, although either one can make a soggy mess. What kind of sandwich filling?

  Had thought to do a store bought chicken salad with cranberry & nuts (finely chopped) and a cheese & cherry tomato (toothpick time). Am tempted to do a bit of lettuce under the chicken salad & leave both open-faced (no top slice of bread). Then when wrapped in plastic/saran wrap (a.k.a. cling film!) there’s less chance for sog to develop.

    Oooh, those fillings sound delicious! Keeping them open face should be helpful. Good luck!

Do you have cling film over there Del? I’ve never heard of using a damp towel, the trial run sounds a good idea 🙂

  Saran wrap = plastic warp = cling film. Can’t usually remember the first 2, which leaves my U.S. friends wondering what I’m talking about.

Sounds like a good idea to me, although I’ve never actually tried it!!!

  Should probably do a bit of a trial run…
