Those were the sandwiches the kids (all Kiwis) grew up with. Then I
introduced my Yank sandwiches to them and we went sandwich crazy.

Tasty cheese is still one of my favourites (esp with pickles), but I'm
afraid I've never developed a fondness for Vegemite or Marmite. But as
the "morning help" I make my wife toast with margarine (she likes it
better than butter for some strange reason) and Vegemite on most
mornings before I boil the kettle.

That pickled onions and barbecue sauce sounds interesting ... I might
just have to try that one.
