My friend and I used to make cucumber sandwiches all the time when we were teenagers. Good memories! Her mom was Norwegian,I wonder if they are a common sandwich in Norway? I also love the simple tomato sandwich.

Hi daisypom;
I grew up in Denmark and yes, the cucumber is a much loved and used vegetable all over Scandinavia. It is used as a component of many of the open-faced sandwiches. A few examples: New boiled potatoes sliced and alternated with sliced cucumber on thin sliced black rye bread with butter, salt, pepper and chives. Another one would replace the potatoes with hard boiled eggs.Then of course the tomato sandwich with sliced cucumber. Country pate on rye bread with sliced cucumber etc. etc. Just about any sandwich you can think of you can add cucumber to.

I love the beautiful simplicity of the cucumber tea sandwich, the avocado tartine, and the tomato sandwich. I am patiently waiting for a nice ripe tomato.
