If you think about it, Mayo is just whipped egg and oil. When you think about it like that, it’s not that weird.

Next time you make a grilled cheese, instead of buttering the bread and putting it butter side down in the pan to toast it, use Mayo. It’ll be the crispiest and most majestic grilled cheese you’ll eat.

If we were in the UK someone would’ve mentioned the “chip butty” – a french fry sandwich (with mayonnaise or ketchup). Except those sandwiches aren’t unusual in the UK.

Okay, I've read through all seven pages and nobody else had listed it, so here goes...

My mom made me PB and avocado sandwiches on white bread. My mom and I love both those things, so combining them in a sandwich was a natural extension. It has an interesting texture of coarse on one side and smooth on the other, and it wasn't terrible.

I've had many PB/butter/banana sandwiches, even to present times. I'll try replacing butter with mayo and see how it tastes.

Crushed pineapple and mayo on white bread.

I was raised on them.

I loved sugar sandwiches. Super soft bread and about two tablespoons of sugar. Yummm.
I also loved mayo and cheese sandwiches.

Jiff and Grape Jam.
Have one or 2 for lunch for the last 35+ years.
Weekends included.

3 construction workers where sitting on the bridge that they where building having their lunch break.
Long
The first guy says “If I get a Marmite sandwich again I am going to jump off this bridge.”

The second guys says “If get a peanut butter sandwich again I am going to jump off this bridge”.

The third guy says if I get another strawberry jam sandwich then I am going to jump off this bridge.”

The next day the first guy gets a Marmite sandwich, the second guy gets a peanut butter sandwich and the third guy gets a strawberry jam sandwich. All 3 guys jump of the bridge and die.
The next day at their funerals the first wife says “If he just told me I would have given him a different sandwich.”

The second guys wife says “It is all my fault. If only I knew.”

The third wife says “I don’t get it, he makes his own lunch.”

You may be on to something. When I make a BLT, I toast the bread; butter the toast, then add mayo; then add the bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

I consider PB and avocado as unusual but I like both and will give this a try. To me, either bacon or PB make ANYTHING better! So how about a bacon, PB, and avocado sandwich????

So many cool/unusual/memorable sandwiches have been brought up. I can only imagine asking the original thread question to anyone 20 or younger and hearing their response. “I had a club sandwich and they forgot the bacon!”

Cheese and Vegemite
Bologna and Ketchup
Sliced banana and raw sugar
Cheese and raisins

All the above on white bread. Sliced Kraft cheese

Bread with mayonnaise and a sliced banana in a double decker style.

When I was a kid, my uncle turned me on to these...

Mayo on one slice of bread. Peanut butter on the other. In between, fried egg, ham, cheddar, and onion greens.

Sounded like it all wouldn't work together, but it did. I tried it and loved it. Very filling, I'd wash it down with some ice cold whole milk from his cow.

Hadn't thought about it in years. Guess I need to make one.

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…

Yep, had them in college. The trick, besides the pinched edges, is to wet the bread before adding the tang. Butter works well. Ahh, the ol' Tangwich.

I used to eat peanut butter and molasses sandwiches

Those poor moles...

Bad monkey! No banana for you tonight.

A few years back there was a bumper crop of maple syrup, and Jif made some maple-peanut butter. Yum!

One slice of bread- sourdough is best. Mix sunkist pouch tuna with some avocado and a pinch of garlic salt/lemon pepper- form a paste. Fry an egg, spread tuna mix on bread, top with egg, melt swiss cheese slice on top in toaster oven- more of an open face sandwich.
I dont think I really enjoyed them till my mid to late teens.
