Great for tea: Lucille Wright, famous Savannah caterer, made these tomato sandwiches that were featured in the book and film of ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil’; I think the secrets were patting the tomatoes very dry, and the VERY finely minced touch of sweet onion:

(There’s some confusion as to how she spelled her first name; in Berendt’s book, it’s with two ‘l’s)

Mmmmm....those tomato sandwiches would be good at tea.

Her directions are so specific——even to spreading the bread....fridging it overnight.....then assembling the next day.

I give my tomatoes a few whirls in the lettuce spinner. The tomatoes are less juicy when used in casseroles, sandwiches, or our favorite tomato pie.
