    My mother did this for her bridge club in the early 1950's. She used a home-made loaf of bread and cut it end to end 3 times. One layer was egg salad, one was ground ham made into a sandwich filling, and I think the 3rd was ground up sharp cheese with black olives and pimentos. (These were 'fancied up' sandwich fillings. Nothing plain about any of them, and I think the slices were spread with butter before the fillings. The outside of the sandwich loaf was cream cheese with (possibly) a little mayo or sour cream to make it spread. It had a vegetable "flower bouquet'" decoration on top and the sides with little tomatoes, green peppers, olive slices, radishes, and celery leaves. She'd slice it and it was very beautiful. It was yellow on the outsides and the ham salad in the middle.

      You are welcome. This is a food styling tick to keep herbs fresh for shoot day but if you want to keep them for longer , put that damp paper towel into a plastic bag or container.

    Finally!! Real Swedish food. When I make my own Smörgåstårta (Sandwich Cake,) I use three different fillings, and one topping in 3 layers, with a bread we call Gangway Bread (Landgångsbröd). Please cook Swedish meatballs with boiled potatoes, cream sauce, pickled cucumber (sweet in taste) and raw stirred lingonberries with sugar. = (rårörda ligon)

    I have to let you people know that cremefresh is just sour cream..... I made something similar to this, and top the tater mixed with a little philadelphia works so much better by far!😉 I'm not gonna lie... When the music came on when she started icing that thing, I thought it was somebody's phone in the background or in her pocket going off....😅

    • @ChristineCushing
      @ChristineCushing  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just a little note here about sour creme and creme fraiche. They are not the same, although similar. The creme fraiche is thicker and less tangy. Of course you could sub in the sour cream as it works with all the flavours. Thank you

      @ChristineCushing I was a professional celebrity chef for 8 years!!! Yes, creme fresh is just sour cream, plain and simple! You'd honestly have to be a moron to think anything else! Creme fresh is just a nicer way of saying sour cream because, honestly, sour cream sounds disgusting! Seriously, some people are just stupid as phuck! I'm not saying you're in that category, but there's an astronomical chance you're in that category!🤨
