You childhood was a lot better than mine, I think. Apart from
the normal PBJ and stuff, I also ate:
Ring bologna, ground in a standard hand-crank meat grinder, with
Miracle Whip
Sweet pickle relish
On squishy white bread
My grandfather liked:
Mild cheddar cheese (the orange stuff), ground up with
green pepper
Miracle whip
on squishy white bread
Since these spreads were kind of time-consuming to make, they
weren't featured all that often.
I still put sliced green, pimiento-stuffed olives in my tuna salad.
(Green olives made anything posh, dontcha know.) I also like
them mixed into cream cheese, with walnuts, stuffed into celery.
