OT Just for fun- oddball sandwiches

-------AND, stand over the kitchen sink as you eat it!!!!

I don't think I've ever had Hellman's, but I also grew up on Miracle Whip and thinking it was the real thing. When I eventually got a food processor, I found out how easy it is to make *real* mayo, and how delicious it is. However, I think my all-time favorite spread on sandwiches these days is butter -- somehow it just tastes better than any salad dressing!

I'd always heard that tongue is delicious, but my one attempt at cooking it was so disgusting that no one could eat it -- and we're pretty good about trying new taste delights.

We only had Miracle Whip when I was a kid. When I met DH and he first made egg salad sandwiches I was AMAZED at how good they tasted - turns out he used mayonnaise! Haven't look back since! (and my mom even has a little jar of "real mayonnaise" in the fridge for when we come to visit). The funny thing is that now one of my kids thinks MW is the better spread (at least for her tomato sandwiches)! LOL

I still like the stuff.

YUM Yep, that's how I would make it. Though I might leave off the mashed potatoes for an extra helping of (chestnut) dressing.

I like bologna, mustard, pickle relish and potato chips.

I like tuna and potato chips too.. and, mom used to make cucumber sandwiches. I thought they were fancy, and not at all weird.

My son liked bread with mustard - which was difficult to explain to the kindly pre-school teacher who wanted us to know that mustard was NOT A FOOD - and did we need food stamps?

I used to never eat a sandwich without Duke's mayonnaise. Now I mostly use Imperial spread, and when friends come over for a meal, they think the Imperial tastes like real butter on the baked potatoes. Barbara in FL

I love tongue.. especially prepared the spanish way (a la vinagreta!)

I do not enjoy PB though. And Miracle Whip to me tastes like fake mayo.. :o).

All cultural, obviously.

I think Dad may predate GooberGrape, unless they had it in the Navy and that's where he got the idea...Horrible stuff. Oh. Yes. I like cookies just fine... just not keen on the PB ones

Nobody else in the house seems to like these....just me (well, my Dad is the one who got me into them), but peanut butter and raisins...doesn't matter if it's on white or wheat. He also does the banana and peanut butter, but I can't handle that...lol. I also do things like leftover biscuits with ham...what I had for lunch today..and cold, can't heat them up or else what's the point? lol

Not that odd but I've been eating it since I was 8 years old.. PB, Jelly and banana !

You should try it on home made bread. By the time the bread machine stops running I am fairly starving for the bread and can hardly wait for it to cool much. Warm fresh bread and butter is a balanced meal, right? Debra in VA See my quilts at

Are you kidding??? That's what I WAS talking about. I don't dare buy a bread machine. That's the only thing that keeps me from eating a loaf a day.

The French bread from the bakery is bad enough. You pop that in the microwave and it tastes almost as good.

I don't know if maybe it's better to eat a teaspoon of margarine than 1/4 cup of real butter. Teaspoon for teaspoon you're better off but you're probably best off with neither.

Mustard and onions...yep...just bread, mustard and onions.
