NOTES :
This recipe produces a thin, semicrisp cracker bread that is popular in Eastern European countries. You can soften the cracker by wrapping it in damp dish towels for an hour or so. When it is bendable, spread with a curry mayonnaise and add layers of meat, tomato, cucumber, and lettuce sliced paper thin. Roll it up, slice it into 4" wide sandwiches, and you have a fabulous and unusual late-night snack for a card party.

Like all of Lois and Lindas recipes ... this is excellent!!
