Liverwurst sandwich.

I'm quite certain, I was the only kid in school who had such a thing in my backpack for lunch. I still like'em and can be snobbish of the quality of it.

Slaw sandwiches. Mix cole slaw with some tangy vinegar based, peppery bbq sauce. Piled high on Merita white bread. You have to eat them quick before they got too soggy. Another go to sandwich we had growing up was white bread slathered with Duke’s Sandwich Relish. To step it up, we would add sliced Prairie Belt canned smoked sausages on them.

YES!!! We did cream cheese with homemade jalapeño jelly!!!!

Nah.... mint jelly!

We used to like sandwiches made from peanut butter & that whipped marshmallow stuff that comes in a jar when I was a kid.

Left over London broil cooked in butter on a pan then placed on white bread with some ketchup.

I really miss this: White bread with a slice of cheese cooked in the broiler underneath the stove. A simple grilled cheese.

Remember those? The broiler under the stove? Do they even make them anymore?

You guys are a bad influence. Just picked up a 20oz container of Price's pimento-cheese spread and a 1lb chub of Braunschweiger.

Pickle and Pimento loaf.

Many of you don't seem to understand "unusual."

Liverwurst, for example. It may not be the most common sandwich meat in the U.S., but it hardly qualifies as unusual. And fluffernutter? I don't like them, but that is a classic.

Unusual is crushed Butterfinger bars, kippers, and broccoli rabe on a sliced cherry danish, garnished with capers.

One of my favorites.

Not mine, but my older brother growing up used to love making sandwiches using peanut butter, honey, and several big slices of raw white onion.

He also used to take a whole onion, smear the outside with peanut butter, and take bites out of it like an apple.

He was a very odd kid... And always smelled like onions. It took me about a decade of being away from home before I could stomach the smell of raw onions again.

In what world is PB&J considered an "unusual sandwich"...?

I suspect that PB&J is the most common sandwich of them all (at least in the US), next to perhaps the hamburger.

These guys are still around in the Midwest but a loose meat hamburger ~ Maid Rite was a gem as a kid.
Hamburgers aren't unusual but it is the only company I know that does it this way.
The company started in my Iowa hometown (in 1926 I think.)

Had a first cousin who loved peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. Tried to get me to eat one. Nopiest nope that ever noped.

Like a sloppy joe?

Braunsweiger, peanut butter or hard salami and peanut butter, better both Braunsweiger and hard salami with peanut butter.
Still eat them.

For a nice, fattening snack, I used to eat peanut butter with Lay's Ripple Chips. Crunchy, salty, peanutt, and filling, all in one bite.

8 pages and not one mention of a Government Cheese sandwich???

My grandmother used to line up in Philadelphia in the late 70's to mid-80's and get these 5 lb bricks of government cheese which she gave to my stepmother who had 7 kids to feed.

IIRC it was like a crappy half Cheddar/half Velveeta like substance and did NOT melt that well...suspicious

I had a sub today with Vickers Salt and Vinager chips. I have some leftover. I think tomorrow I will make a PB sandwich and crush the chips on top. I am not ready to try adding mayo yet….LOL!

2 slices of toast, a slice of American cheese and a slab of onion.
