Personal Experiences

has anyone here tried such a sandwich? any comments? mnemonic

Sure. In the last parish of which I was vicar, there was a great tradition for bring-and-share meals, and they were very good at them. When I was still very new there, the first one I went to I happened to say to the ladies behind the sandwich table, "What, no cucumber sandwiches?" Next one that was held, I arrived to find a special plate full of them, and labelled 'For the Vicar'. They weren't satisfied until I had eaten my way through the whole lot.

Oh, and very nice they were, too.

Yep. My mother had a curious rectangular plate that was used for nothing else - though they were always served slightly tongue in cheek. seglea 03:33, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

See? I knew they existed! Monk Bretton 02:03, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

Dad's Army

Personally I think that the cucumber sandwich has become something of a metaphor for a gentile genteel unmetropolitan middle class society, which probably expired in the seventies.

In the Classic British Sitcom, Dad's Army, there were numerous references to Godfrey's sister Dolly's cumcumber sandwiches. These should not be overlooked when trying to define the wider meaning of the culinary item!

Good Article!

I didn't know something so light-flavored could be that good. For the record, I recommend a bit of fresh rosemary, to spice it up, though.

I don't know why this article is listed as "needing to be cleaned up" I think it's very good

Cleanup (December 2005)

I've attempted to do some cleanup of the article as of early January 2006. Further edits are welcomed.
