As president of the Swarthmore College Folk Dance Club, Darbus announced that the members would have to make “an absurd number of cucumber sandwiches” for the 2016 English-Scottish Ball, and another student joked that the phrase sounded like a good name for a dance. The figures represent 1) toasting the bread, 2) buttering the bread, 3) adding cucumbers, and 4) slicing the tea sandwiches into triangles.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
