The picnic roll in its most portable form, with olives added to the chicken filling and the whole thing pressed into a log to chill overnight. A straw is pushed through the log before serving, and the slice is picked up cold from a wrapper. Cold here is not a shortcut; it is what makes the layers hold together.
