Melba toast
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melba_toast

Does it say who Melba is for the sandwich? Could the Melba sandwich
originally use melba toast? Both Peach melba and melba toast are named for
Dame Melba.

I have an early 20th century cookbook with a recipe for "Melba Sandwiches,"
which are basically chopped olives mixed with a little mayo on white bread.
My husband loves them.
