The traditional cucumber sandwich is composed of paper-thin slices of cucumber placed between two thin slices of crustless lightly buttered white (or wheat in some cases) bread.As the thinness of the bread is a point of pride in the kitchen a dense-textured white Pullman loaf is cut with a wide-bladed knife which guides the cut; daylight should pass through the resulting fine pores. The peel of the cucumber is either removed or scored lengthwise with a fork before the cucumber is sliced.
