All but one of the following . sandwiches is spread with a special herb butter, and the originators of the butter stress that—in this recipe as in each of the others—fresh herbs make all the difference where flavor's concerned and should be used whenever possible.

HERB BUTTER

1 / 2 pound farm-fresh or safflower oil butter

1-1 / 2 teaspoons chili powder

1 /2 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder

1-1 / 2 teaspoons basil

1 teaspoon Vege-Sal or other vegetable salt

1 teaspoon oregano

Let the butter sit at room temperature until it's soft enough to allow you to thoroughly cream the other ingredients into it.

EGGLESS EGG SALAD SANDWICH

2 pounds tofu

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 tablespoon Vege-Sal or other vegetable salt

1-1 / 2 teaspoons celery seed

1-1 / 2 teaspoons oregano

1-1/2 teaspoons parsley

1 teaspoon dill leaves

2 tablespoons primary yeast flakes

2 tablespoons safflower oil mayonnaise

1 / 2 cup minced onion 3 stalks celery, chopped sliced bread Herb Butter alfalfa sprouts

Crumble the tofu into a large bowl (Peal and Deborah use their hands for this . . . they say a fork just doesn't do the job right), and add the remaining ingredients, stirring well as each one goes into the bowl. This recipe will yield enough filling for abort 20 sandwiches (if you want to make less, just reduce all amounts by half), and they'll be especially good if you toast the slices of bread before spreading them with some of the Herb Butter. Add a generous layer of "eggless egg salad" and a big handful of alfalfa sprouts to each sandwich, slice your finished product in two so it'll be more manageable, and chow down. You'll find this does taste like egg salad . . . only better!
