OT Just for fun- oddball sandwiches

DS has a liking for Vegemite, cheese and carrot on wholemeal or multigrain bread.

Now THIS I love, but I add some onion and a few sliced green olives - yummers

I think I was ruined on peanut butter on sammitches by my dad at a very early age. I distictly remember him mixing the PB and J in a cup BEFORE spreading it on the bread. What a disgusting color it became. I know perfectly well that it all gets mixed up anyway, but *shudder*. Anymore, peanut butter is really just for crackers or alone for me. Not big on PB cookies, or Reeses. I know, I know... there's something wrong with me...;-)

We did that as kids Sherry. The other thing was the same with just avocado or both tomato and avocado. Gotta use miracle whip and webers white bread and garlic salt and pepper. Yummo! Taria

Alice's sandwich reminded me of one I used to enjoy at a nearby restaurant when we lived in Elgin, Illinois. It was toasted rye bread with peanut butter and bacon.

Don't know how weird this is but Mine would be whole grain bread slightly toasted, tuna mashed with mustard and 1 tablespoon of mayo, bread and butter pickle slices and a slice of kraft cheese food. Launie, in Oregon

Speaking of, er, odd, how about relish in chili? I went to a mini-retreat over the weekend and someone brought delicious chili and she brought a small jar of relish. She said they always put relish IN the bowl of chili after cooking it. I couldn't bring myself to possibly ruin wonderful chili, but she swore by it.

I've never heard of that before.

I just adore multigrain bread with chunky peanut butter and a slice of thick "good" tasty cheese.

Or (dare I say it) cold roast chicken on any bread with blackberry jam and cheese.

Yummy!

I guess I'm the real odd-ball of the bunch.... a German descendent in the deep south of Texas, raised on liverwurst sandwiches, mayonnaise on one side of the bread, peanut butter on the other and liverwurst in the middle. Sometimes a slice of sharp cheddar, other times a slice of purple onion.

Not a sandwich I have frequently anymore, but one I still get a craving for about once every six months!

Ex used to eat white bread, dried beef (comes in a jar), limburger cheese, and sliced onions - whew! Stinky!!! I think it was a Pennsylvania Dutch thing...

I love relish mixed in with just about any kind of beans! As for a sandwich, there is nothing like Duke's mayonnaise, first invented and made in Greenville, SC. It has it's own wonderful taste with PB & J, or a nanner sandwich. Barbara in SC, but now FL

Ah, another fond childhood memory! LOL

Growing up (back when I could eat such things), it was Best Foods mayonnaise or nothing in our house. (This is Hellman's for those of you in the eastern US). One time my Dad and I were at Grandma's (his mother), and she was fixing sandwiches. She got out the Miracle Whip, and Dad and I said "no thanks, we'll just have the sandwiches bare". Boy, did Grandma go on a rampage because her beloved Miracle Whip had just been dissed! We held our ground, though, and had the sandwiches bare. After that, Dad always brought a teeny jar of Best Foods when he came to visit (I think mostly to tweak his mother! LOL)

How about: American White bread with ketchup, sliced red onions and mayo, salt and pepper. And you have to have a glass of milk with it. sometimes i put sliced tomatoes on it, too.

Theres also: Toasted pumpernickel bread with cold sauerkraut and applesause with a smidge of brown mustard.

i know...weird. amy

We were the opposite! My brother and I would eat sandwiches bare before eating that nasty Hellman's at my Grandma's house!

In fact, I wouldn't even try real mayonnaise until just a few short years ago. My mom brainwashed me into thinking Miracle Whip ruled.

I thought the same thing about real butter for years and years. That's one taste change I wish I'd never embraced. I eat way more bread and butter since discovering the joys of the real stuff. I never ate bread with my meal until then. Now I can eat a whole loaf. Ummm.... butter.

Wow! Some very strange combinations there. When I was a little, little kid, I used to like smashed banana sandwiches with sugar sprinkled on top. Lots of sugar. I like the graininess of the sugar.

When I was a teenager I visited a friend in Canada & she had a passion for ribbon sandwiches, which I became a huge fan of as well. I think they were meant to be "tea sandwiches" but we'd have them for dinner sometimes. You take 3 slices of very thinly sliced bread. Slice one gets spread with peanut butter, slice two gets spread with a cheese spread - like Cheese Whiz if you are in the states & slice three gets spread with a pickled ham spread. Put the three slices together & slice them into "fingers". Yum! Here in the states, I never found pickled ham, so I just made my own up - tiny cubed ham, mixed with mayo & pickle relish. Hmmmm -I may have to resurrect those yummy sandwiches!

Not at all gross, especially if you sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Yum!

Oh, how dreadful for you. Your dad must have grown up eating that horrible Goober Grape, or some similar product, and thought it tasted good. A new jar of it looks good, but you can't get it out of the jar without mixing the stripes together and ending up with something akin to odd colored sticky mud. The look is bad enough but it doesn't taste good either so I can't figure out why this awful stuff is still on the market after 40 years.

For those who don't know Goober Grape, here is a link:

Oh, now I wouldn't say that. It just leaves more PB cookies for me. I'm sure you enjoy some sort of cookie--choco chip, snickerdoodle, oatmeal raisin, sugar, lemon, chocolate mint, wafer, sandwich, shortbread, ah the list goes on..........mmmmmmmmmmmm. Debra in VA See my quilts at

You really should try my Bread and Butter pickle sandwich. I think you'd like it. At least I'm not the only one to eat pickle sandwiches. I never heard of a radish sandwich or a potato sandwich. But then I never heard of a snap biscuit until I saw SF eat one. Debra in VA See my quilts at

If we ever have turkey for Christmas, my favourite meal is a roll filled with cold stuffing and cranberry sauce the following day for brunch! So no, not weird at all!
