But what a wealth to choose from! Closed or open faced with bread cut as thin as possible. The shapes can be fingers, triangles, rounds, pinwheels or using cookie cutters a variety of styles. They should be in bite size or two bite size. Hot or cold canap\u00e9s, tiny biscuits, miniature cream puffs filled with vegetables and cream, chicken or seafood are as good as they are beautiful. For the ladies, making fancy sandwiches is a lovely way to make everyone feel special<\/p>\n<p>At such a get together tea or coffee is served to a group of five or six, usually around the living room coffee table. The sandwiches are delicate, small plates should be set at the table.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
