Most of the sandwiches my mother made were store bought bologna, olive
loaf, or some sort of chopped ham, maybe with mayo, Miracle Whip, or
that sandwich spread stuff, had mayo and what looked like pickle relish
in it, came from Kraft IIRC. Mostly on white bread, never saw whole
wheat when I was a kid. Ours was from the Fair Maid company in Beaumont,
TX. My mom worked nights there during WWII. Was later renamed Rainbow
Bread. Not bad for plain white bread. Rarely we would have toasted
cheese sandwiches or real ham. Dad loved mustard on white bread with
thick sliced bologna and a thick slice of onion. Used to wrap one or two
in wax paper and stick them in his hunting coat pocket. Carry them
around that way most of the day and then eat them. Yuck!
