White cheese to cut the shapes of the eyes and mouth
Small round cookie cutter
METHOD
Spread a little mayonnaise onto each slice of bread.
Make 4 sandwiches from the ham and bread.
Using a cookie cutter, cut 4 circular sandwiches from each to give you 16 in total.
To make the head and legs:
Slice the cucumber lengthways into four even slices.
Cut three of the slices into triangles or blocks to make the feet, leaving 1 slice to make the feelers.
Cut two thin strips from the final slice to make the feelers and set aside.
Cut the top off the radish so that it has a flat edge to stand on, then make two wholes using a knife/skewer in the top for the cucumber feelers.
Cut a piece of white cheese into 2 circles and a half moon for the centipede’s eyes and smile and, using a little mayonnaise, stick them to the radish to make a face.
Insert the two cucumber feelers into the wholes at the top of the radish.
Place onto a long platter and then arrange the circular sandwiches into a snake shape behind the head to make the body.
Use the cucumber triangles/blocks to make the feet on either side of the body.
