About the dish

The entry is more a piece of advice on craft than a recipe: the topping should cover the whole slice and the meat be cut cleanly.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Slice the roast

    Cut the roast across the grain and thinly, preferably from as whole a piece of meat as possible, that is, not divided by membranes.

  2. 2

    Top the bread

    Cover the buttered slice of bread completely with the topping. Add cucumber and meat jelly.

Changes from the original

The text gives no quantities or toppings beyond the name; cucumber and meat jelly appear only in the title.
