Not so much unusual as good, and I haven't had one in over 40 years...

Split Portuguese hard roll, light coat of mustard, roll of bologna, roll of ham, roll of salami all stuffed in the split, bit of sweet onion, two slices of provolone over the top, toast until hot.

Peanut butter, mayo and bologna, don't mess with that one anymore

Peanut butter and butter, still eat that one often

Sliced radish sandwiches, on buttered white bread.

Back then radishes where hot, not like the wimpy ones you get from the market today. A great contrast. The hot and crunchy radish, paired with softness and sweetness of the bread and butter. Along with cold Coke out of the bottle (the returnable kind) and it was a great little lunch.

Fried bologna, Miracle Whip, white bread.

In the 50's in elementary school, I called these "elephant ear" sandwiches because the bologna curled when fried and looked like an elephant's ear to me. These were a real treat when I was a kid.

Me too. Hickory Smoke Spam.

I'm half German and half English. The English/maternal side was more adventurous sandwich wise and even ate some German food the German side didn't eat.

Ham salad - my maternal Grandfather seemingly had this for lunch every time we visited. I went years without having it, and it was delicious. Turns out it was one of the favorite things Dad remembers about my grandfather / his FIL. Been too long need to get my hands on some soon.

Liverwurst - same Grandfather used to eat this with brown mustard and every so often Mom would buy this for us. I also went years without having this, and it too was delicious. However, one time I did try it fried and didn't like it at all. Cold liverwurst and mustard sandwiches are where it's at.

Peanut butter & honey - my HS football coach insisted that protein powders were just making expensive urine. Instead, he had us eating peanut butter & honey sandwiches daily. Haven't had one in ages, but I smile every time I do.

Peanut butter and Miracle Whip on soft cracked wheat bread.

Paternal grandfather ate banana, mayonnaise and peanut butter sandwiches.

He also put candied Kadota figs on top of a block of cream cheese for a snack.

I don’t consider peanut butter and honey bizarre at all… Lol.

Sandwiches are some of my favorite food, but I lean towards the savory, meaty side w good mustard and some kind of relish. I’ve given up bread for the most part however.

Corn sammiches on a buttered roll. Loved them as a kid.

You all are coming up with some interesting and strange sandwiches I have never heard of or would have thought of but willing to try. Thank you for sharing them !!! God Bless

If their is bread on the table I am making a sandwich out of whatever is on my plate it drives my wife nuts

Pork and bean sandwich with mustard. Just remembered that one.

My old man would slap a runny fried egg on buttered toast and scarf it down. Not for me, though.

Peanut butter, banana, and Dukes mayo. Loved them as a kid, still occasionally have them.

Dad’s favorite. Although he used rye toast also.

Beans on toast for me. Common in the UK.

Around age 6, my Sicilian mom started including me on sandwich’s other than PBJ. I became addicted to these sandwiches, capicola, salami, Italian sausage peppers and sugu, Italian beef dipped in beef juice with peppers and onions

My dad lived in North Carolina during the Depression and some of his sandwiches went back to that time.

Vidalia onion with beefsteak tomato and mayo on white bread was one of my favorites. Also, pickle and pimento loaf on white bread. Bologna and cheese with dill pickles on any sandwich bread was, and is, one of my most eaten sandwiches.
