Brother Bo's (in) famous olive sandwiches. I would NEVER eat these when I was a child. What little girl would eat something called bug sandwiches? In my old age I've since come to love and appreciate these sandwiches. Bo says for a nice presentation, cut off the bread crusts. Traditionally served with a glass of previously-frozen milk. Psst-I have a little secret. Don't tell Bo, but sometimes I sneak a few thin slices of red onion in my sandwich.
Ingredients:
1 (4 ounce) can minced black olives, drained
1 -2 tablespoon mayonnaise
black pepper
4 slices white bread (weber's was de rigueur)
loose red leaf lettuce, rinsed and patted dry (optional, but not iceberg)
red onion ring, thinly sliced (optional)
Directions:
1. In small bowl combine the black olives and mayo.
2. Bo says to add mayonnaise to desired consistency, either a dry mixture or creamier; your choice.
3. Spread equal amounts of the olive mixture onto the bread slices. Add lettuce leaves if desired. Season with black pepper.
4. Cut sandwiches in half.
5. Ideal for picnics, a quick snack and to annoy your little baby sister.
