By a fat, alcoholic white servant cook in the basement kitchen of a British colonial overlord with fresh white bread, butter, thinly sliced cucumbers and the crust removed from the sandwich cut into triangular quarters measured with a ruler to be within 1 cm of tolerance and served on a perfect crystal stand by another white slave to a table surrounded by dried up husks of white women in fancy dress and jewels crooking their pinky while sipping tea and discussing the latest indiscretions by Lady Marjoram Marigold Aspidastra with her virile chauffeur.

tl;dr just like our current overlords in the US do

Fresh herbs (mint, dill, basil) are fantastic additions.

Goat cheese is best, cream cheese is good.

He said soft sandwich bread. In the UK & rest of Europe that means bread produced by the Chorleywood Process. This is different to the overly sweet cake-bread that you get in North America.

I used to make standard cucumber sandwiches, but nowadays I like to
>peel and thinly slice the cucumber
> Salt the cucumber slices in a colander and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out all the water
>press or squeeze the cucumber slices to get rid of the excess water
>pile the cucumber on toasted bread that's been spread with chive cream cheese
>sprinkle with pepper

Thin white Warburton's with the crusts cut off, spread with fresh butter, cucumber thin-sliced to around 0.5mm seasoned with salt, black pepper, sprinkle of malt vinegar, cut into fingers.

Serve by a maid, with freshly-baked scones with raspberry jam and clotted cream, and a strong pot of Yorkshire Gold with gold top milk to taste, on the table by the window in the manor's library mezzanine, overlooking the forest next to the village.
