Tomato sandwiches, and I still love them:

Good sliced white bread like Martin’s potato bread
Thick slices of ripe summer beefsteak tomatoes
Mayo
Salt & Pepper

That’s it

Yum!!!!

Peanut butter and bacon on white toast.

Also mayonnaise and lots of black pepper on cheap white bread during the lean years.

I grew up on apple butter (or prune butter) and peanut butter sandwiches. My stepmom didn’t like jams and jellies, said they were too much sugar. And always whole wheat bread. We were crunchy before it was cool!

Braunschweiger, onion and mayo. Also liked radishes with just butter on white bread. My mom used to make us cows tongue sandwiches. Didn’t real care for those. These all as a youngster. Haven’t had one in years.

Man, there are SO MANY sandwiches I am going to be making!!!!!!!

Excellent sandwich, even better with bacon.

Many years ago there was a weekly TV sitcom, “Married, with Children”, about a largely dysfunctional family. Dad was a clerk in a shoe store. Mom was an inept housewife. For supper she made Tang sandwiches – Tang powder between two pieces of white bread.

When mom was away dad made the Tang sandwiches. But the kids thought his were inferior to mom’s: he didn’t pinch the edges of the bread slices together, so the Tang tended to fall out.

Can’t say that I’ve ever had a Tang sandwich though…

I was in grade school in the early 60’s. On many Sundays my mon would boil a hunk of bologna, grind it up and mix it with pickles and mayo. She’d spread this on white bread for our school lunches. I loved those. Funny thing is that leaving these sandwiches sitting in a brown sack, on a shelve in the back of the classroom all morning, I never got sick from the lack of refrigeration.

Peanut butter and pickle sounds strange, but I am willing to try it. Any specific type of pickle? I am thinking a bread n’ butter pickle.

I don’t think I could handle peanut butter and mayo together….lol.

It's always dill pickles ("hamburger slices") here. I'm not sure about the bread 'n butter pickles... but I'd be willing to try it.

And thank you for agreeing with me on the no-mayo PB-n-B sammich.

Oooh, good stuff!
I'm a sucker for good apple butter. Which reminds me: it's almost time for church-made apple butter. Support your local apple-mashers!

I haven’t had one in a long long time, but as a kid I used to really like mustard and mayonnaise sandwiches. Just good white bread with plain yellow mustard on one side and mayo on the other.

On Saturdays, my mom would make what she called “mashed banana sandwiches”…bananas, pnut butter, and Duke’s mayo, all mashed up with one of those mashed potato hand tool things. She slapped it on some white bread, and it was awesome! I’d eat 2 of those things for lunch while I watched wrastlin’ on tv…great memories.

I grew up in a lower class home and mom and dad did everything they could for us.

Remember like it was yesterday. - grew up on thrift store bread with mayonnaise and a small amount of sugar sprinkled on it. Many times if the bread was stale and had started smelling mom would toast the bread to mask the smell.

A treat was when we were given a potted meat sandwich with a little mustard on the bread.

I am loving hearing these sandwich stories!!!!! Memories!!!

White bread Velveeta and miracle whip samich as an after school snack.

A lady I worked with said her favorite sandwich was pb&j, baloney, onions and mustard on white bread. Never tried it and not going to.

That said, a local hamburger establishment has a teriyaki peanut butter burger. It is my go to burger when we go there.

The things our parents did for us back then! I don’t think today’s generation would accept or understand it.

I grew up in Tampa in the 70s, grand parents survived the depression. They all retired in the mid 70s and used to watch me and my brothers after school.

My “Lady” (moms mother- she was originally from Kentucky ) made us PB&J.

My “Nana” (dads mom-from Philadelphia) used to make us cream cheese and jelly.

My Pop-pop ( moms dad- who was divorced from Lady) made us tomato sandwiches..with pepper and salt.

His second wife who was my “Me-maw” ( and a loving woman who I never knew she wasn’t blood) made us banana and Mayo sandwich’s.

I never knew my dads father as he died when I was four. But I’ve had plenty of strange things since I was a kid and I remember all of the sandwiches they fed us. I loved every minute of it and can recall their taste now.

The family down the street who had eight kids used to watch us before grandparents took over, she used to feed us fried bologna sandwiches on wonder bread. I haven’t had one in 45 years or so…. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have one for lunch and see if it tastes like I remember.
