Roger Collins' Favorite Midnight Snack


Remember Dark Shadows episode #50, when Roger came home to Collinwood late one evening and fixed a cold chicken sandwich and a glass of milk for himself?  Elizabeth had been waiting for him and he told her quite emphatically, in typical Roger Collins fashion, that "there's nothing quite like a sandwich of cold chicken with a glass of milk for a satisfying and filling late night snack."  Being a lover of chicken sandwiches myself, this scene always strikes a chord with me when I watch it so I decided to prepare one for myself and here it is offered to you.  Take two slices of of good white bread, preferably home made or from a good bakery.  Butter each slice lightly.  Hold the lettuce and mayo or you'll spoil the wonderful simplicity of it.  Slice cold chicken from a left over roast or poached chicken breast and place generously on one slice of the bread.  Season with salt and pepper and close the sandwich. Cut into halves diagonally and serve with a glass of whole milk.  If you haven't tried this, you are missing a real treat.  Simple as it may sound, the script writers knew what they were talking about because this is indeed a delicious, pleasantly filling, and very satisfying snack.  Great for lunch, it's best eaten (and more fun of course) as Roger recommends at midnight.  Make this the next time you are watching episode #50 and see what I mean.
