PBJ with Fritos on top.

How about a thick slice of onion with a heavy smear of ketchup on both sides. Sort of a vegan hamburger, now that I look back on it. But it had the right taste when you were hungry and needed to fix a "wish" sandwich.

Slices of canned pineapple with mayo on white. Ate a few of those as a kid.

Pimento cheese and bacon is a good sandwich. whole wheat toast.

Bologna on white bread with butter was the free lunch at the local park in the summer and was good. Peanut butter on rye and nothing else is one of my favorites. Peanut butter don't need no jam, but the maple syrup thing sounds like it might be real good.

Buttered toast with Nestlies chocolate powder.

Another Cream Cheese and green Olives.

In the summer, ours used leaf lettuce from our garden…White bread, Mayo, and layers of lettuce leaves sprinkle with sugar - my blood sugar goes up just remembering those delicacies..

Pineapple slices with mayo
Peanut butter with bananas and mayo

either one on fresh Sunbeam white bread.

As a small child, I can't really think of any unusual sandwiches that I actually liked. I had peanut butter and banana sandwiches a couple of times, I think because we had heard that Elvis liked them. I didn't care for them. We had a lot of tomato sandwiches with tomatoes out of the garden. I still eat them, but I don't consider them unusual. As a kid, it was only white bread, mayo, and tomatoes. As an adult, I added a tiny bit of salt and black pepper. A little later as a teenager, I had my first Japanese yakisoba sandwich. I didn't expect to like them but they actually taste good. Too high in carbs though.

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

Oh yeah. Like the tomatoes coming off the vine out of the garden this morning. Not the supermarket variety engineered for durability with all flavor removed.

I second V-tail’s addition of bacon. Nice thick bacon. Don’t forget the fresh crisp lettuce. Maybe a little off topic since this is hardly unusual, but I just made myself hungry.

On a toasted English muffin.
Good Ragu type spaghetti sauce, ground beef, cheese, and the most and best beefsteak tomato

My mom would make something similar for dinner but it was just the English muffin with pasta sauce and cheese and cooked in oven until the cheese melted.

She also made fried egg sandwich with mayo. I forgot about those two.

Oh that reminds me of having cinnamon toast! Toast some bread, spread butter, add sugar and cinnamon, and toast a little more.

Peanut butter and honey mixed 50/50 and spread on bread.

I used to eat potato chip sandwich's. White bread, miracle whip and either nacho cheese Doritos or Lays classic chips.

Kind of answers a few questions my Dr. has asked.

White bread, butter, thick slice of onion with black pepper. Slice of bologna if available.

What a marvelous taste.

When I was a small child living in the orphanage, I snuck into the kitchen and hid under the sink, and the nice ladies working in the kitchen would sneak a folded piece of bread with peanut butter mixed with maple syrup to me.

Love comes in small things. Never let an opportunity slip past that may be the most important thing to someone else.

This reminds me of a story one of my students father told me. During WWII, he was in a concentration camp in Germany as a 14 year old Jewish boy. The camp sent him everyday to the Volkswagon factory. There was a German guy who would hide bread in a corner and would signal my friend that the bread was there.

Not greatly unusual, but pimento cheese sandwiches. My mother often made them for my school lunch box.

A couple of months ago something reminded me of them and I began looking for pimento cheese in my grocery stores, but couldn’t find any, so they must be somewhat unusual.

I eventually found “Price’s Pimento Cheese Spread” on Amazon Fresh.

Thick cut spam (about 1/4") fried until slightly crisp, sweet relish, and mustard on toasted hamburger roll. Just had one last night (except now I use Spam Lite).

Cucumber sammiches.

Fresh cukes out of the garden, sliced thin-ish (about 1/8 inch).

Sweet white or yellow onion, also sliced to the same thickness.

Layer cukes and onions in a widemouth quart jar.

Prepare a marinade of 1 cup cider vinegar, 1 cup water, a healthy pinch of salt, a heaping teaspoon of sugar and a dash of black pepper. Mix thoroughly, pour over cukes/onions, screw the cap on and shake thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight.

Bread of your choice, (I prefer 12 grain) toasted to a golden brown, slathered in REAL butter.

Put a nice thick layer of cuke slices, a few rings of onion on top, more buttered toast on top.

Not sure I've ever managed to stop at just one...

That, and sometimes I even crushed the chips and put them in a left over hot dog bun. If we still had hot dogs it would get crushed chips too.
Golden Flake Barbecue are some of the best but Doritos were the fall back.
