For a kids school function but it will be adults eating. I can't remember the last time or if I've ever made many. It's the straw I drew so I'd like to go beyond the typical. I'm thinking different loaves from Whole Foods and do like pastrami, corned beef, a good turkey, different mustards, leave the crusts on etc...

About four loaves of bread cut into fourths should be enough.

Any suggestions?

love these at a party. I have always had them with mayo, honey ham, and sweet relish. They are always a hit and don't last long.

Make it simple. Bunny bread, mayo, turkey/roast beef/ham/chicken salad, cheddar or American, crusts off.

I tried to do awesome finger sandwiches for my son's christening, all I got was folks asking where the normal stuff is.

If you do what you were thinking of, let me know how it turns out.

Make sure you have your supply of Mydol and Vagisil handy.

Okay. Shitty joke. I apologize and have no useful suggestions.

Add cucumber sandwiches to the mix. Good feed for MILFS.

And crumbled bacon. I have made like 10,000 finger sandwiches in my life. I worked for my aunt's catering company for two years during college.

Go call Holsum, and find out where to buy a Pullman loaf, you will thank me later. It will avoind a whole lot of crust removal per unit.

i'd keep it simple if I were you. And if you choose to go that way then I'd just buy the tray. It's more work for you to make them and you'd get the same thing if you had Calvin's or Ambrosia, etc do it.

We used to get a big box-o-finger sandwiches from Southern Belle at work, and we'd attack that box like crazy people. I'm glad we didn't know then what we know now about SB.

Anywho, finger sandwiches must be on white bread, and you must have these 4 options.

roast beef & mayo
chicken salad
ham & mayo
pimento cheese

Those 4 are the Holy Trinity of finger sandwiches.

I'd go to Pokie and get soem of his Boar's Head cold cuts, pastrami, corned beef etc and some of his cheeses. Make some SAD, use Alton Brown's recipe. Remember the sandwich rule number one, soft filler, soft bread; firm filler, firm bread.

We just hosted a bridal shower, I made some big loaves of spinach bread and made a Calvinsesque chicken salad in the food processor, big hit. If you don't want to make bread, use sections of quality baguettes. If the bread had a firm crust cut the bread on a slight bias, makes it nicer to eat.

This was what I expected. If I wanted simple I would have not posted. And if they don't like them they can make their own.

It's an adult function with alcohol for kids school parents offsite. The Southern Belle won't cut it. At least not if I'm making them. Cucumber is a good light addition. The crust is the best part of rustic breads so I don't want to cut that off.

I did finger-sized cuban sandwiches for a party once that turned out great. May be more trouble than they're worth for your event however.
