In the middle: egg salad, sliced tomato, ham salad. “Frosted” with whipped cream cheese. From Better Homes and Gardens cook book ca. 1968.

Serving slice with time-appropriate drinks:

    At first I thought it might be some kind of mayo situation, but the cream cheese is somehow worse?

    Honestly the cream cheese component is the only part that throws it off.

      Agreed. (A slice of ham and tomato on an egg salad sandwich is where it’s at btw) I do like cream cheese, but it’s completely unnecessary here. At least it’s not whipped cream lol.

      Of all the kitchy 60s cuisine, this might be the least offensive to me. If you’re gonna mke a “cake” out of a sandwich though, you need something on the outside. Which breaks the deal because you really can’t use anything. Honestly cream cheese is the only thing I can even imagine. Maybe butter, but how much butter can you have lol.

      Maybe, possibly, if you can make an icing out of Swiss?

      I’d still rather just make canapes or something.
