Mom would sometimes buy pickle loaf or olive loaf. We also had grilled
cheese sandwiches. Of course if there had been a baked ham, thewas always
ham sandwiches and near the end, ham salad sandwiches. Another sandwich I
loved was liverwurst and onion with mayo and mustard. Only our housekeeper
ate balogna. None of the rest of us liked it. I don't remember the brands
of store bought bread when I was a kid, except Wonder Bread, which my mom
wouldn't buy. The bread she did buy was much better. Back then I kinda
liked the sandwich spread.
