One Hundred and One Sandwich Recipes to Sleep To.

High up on the shelf of the Recipe for Sleep library is One Hundred and One Sandwiches, and we’re going to read from it, softly and sweetly, until you fall asleep. From giving butter a “violet bath” to making your own peanut butter “with a little sherry or port,” the recipes in One Hundred and One Sandwiches are an oddly soothing set. Host Erin Brindley will read you 101 variations on the sandwich, with themes of Fish, Egg, Salad, Meat, Sweet, Nut, and Cheese sandwiches. Published in 1901, author May Southworth’s details the nearly infinite variations of sandwiches. Inspired by the recipe for the Morrison sandwich, (chicken sandwich filling baked in a biscuit,) Erin has created an accompanying recipe at Thank Salt for Chicken in a Biscuit.
