I have a cruising friend who loves bacon and mustard on toast for
breakfast.... usually washed down with hot chocolate. It is one of her
"guilty pleasures" every time she does on a cruise.

Here in Louisiana I've heard mayonnaise pronounced MY NEZ. Mostly it is a
Cajun thing and from what I understand, not as widespread as it used to be,
but every once in a while you hear it especially from rural people in the
Southern part of the state.

White bread or wheat with mayo, onion, baloney, or braunschweiger and potato
chips (plain, bbq, or sour cream and onion).

It does seem that way. Whether that's due to changes in the taste buds
with age, or the soup itself, I don't know. When I make it now, I put
in a slug of pureed tomatoes (canned whole tomatoes in juice, run
through the blender, and put through a sieve). That cuts the sweetness
and enhances the tomato flavor.

The problem is not learning how to pronounce "mayonnaise" but how to
pronounce "Hellman's".

Ah! Himself liked that combo, sometimes with PB instead of butter. Weird,
but then he also put ketchup on macaroni and cheese.

I've been enjoying my childhood favorite everyday for several weeks. . .2

LOL!!

IN my youth I didn't know any other... except there were sometimes
when money was tight (I knew when we ate a lot more oatmeal for
brekkie and cheese or cabbage with noodles for dinner.) and then
there was something called "Blue Plate". I didn't like it then, but
later, when I lived in NOLA, I came to love it. OK stuff.

Forget MiracleWhip.

Alex, who knows what it like to wait while your Dad gets his
ration coupons, and to be embarassed about your clothes in
school, and to send a message in HS to those who would
beat up on you, that the *next* time, that blade would be
pushed into meat, and, No, you didn't see where it came
from. (It came from behind my tie clip.... Heh!)

Been there, no tee-shirt. Got out of it to make a decent life.

Mine childhood sandwich was:
Two slices of Kilpatrick White
A generous slathering of Miracle Whip
Another generous slathering of French's Yellow Mustard
Three slices of Oscar Mayer Olive Loaf
A large helping of Iceberg

All washed down with Shasta Grape Soda.

The moment Kilpatrick's went out of business, we switched over to Gemco's
brand, Lady Lee, which was awful.

Excellent. I like smoked oysters on rye; no mayo just onion.

Was this in the PacCoast? I don't recognize the brand.
FWIW: Oscar Mayer's Olive loaf was at one time a Hell
of a lot better than it is now... IMHO.

Used to be one of my faves. Now, it's more like
flavored grease.

I like the approach, tho, as it's something I would
still do. Maybe with Mortadella. No MW. My own
Moutarde.

Oh yeah? My favorite sandwich from when I was
about 3 or 4 was taught to me by my sister.
It's buttered toast made with white bread,
folded over a crisp piece of bacon. There
should be enough butter that when you squeeze
it, liquid butter oozes out. For many years,
this was my favorite food.

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.

Mark, I think you're telling us your elder Sis was
an evil troll who was setting up your early death
so as not to split the inheritance. <G>

Do you have heart problems? If not, you are
a fortunate survivor of some good food. This
high fat stuff is typical of where the weather
gets *really* cold. If your family ate these foods,
they are like my forbears. The ones who couldn't
survive died off. You then have good ancestors.
Your diet should consist of Herrings, Salami sam-
miches, slathered in butter, lots of sour cream,
and so on.

I think you know the drill. Is your heritage Scandi?
If so, I hope you enjoy those old dishes, except
maybe for Ludefisk.

I would have loved the pepperoni, but I never tasted it until I was at least
16 years old, and that was on a pizza.

Looking at a can of it, it appears it has been HFCS'd to death like so
many other products.

Don't know about "posh", but I discovered this myself. They are the

I use "olive salad", since that is cheap and who can tell the difference?

(Maybe they are salad olives? They are the rejects, anyway.)

Kilpatrick's, as far as I remember, was one of the first breads to go
National (US) taking advantage of mass production methods, and providing
sliced bread to the market. At least that's what my fuzzy memory recalls.
It didn't transition very easily to a consumer that had choices and was
gobbled up by a competitor and then asset stripped.

As far as OM's olive loaf; my memories from childhood also ranked it higher
than I think of it nowadays. I prefer Boar's Head olive loaf but don't
appreciate paying $13.95 / lb. so it's only purchased when it goes on sale.

As far as the Miracle Whip and Mustard mix, I got that from my Sainted
MotherT who was an East Coast Gal originally. The Sylvania shipped her out
to the Left Coast and she never looked East again.

Not sure about the toast, but bread 'n' butter 'n' bacon is pretty fine. And
of course, the butter should ooze out if it's on toast -- the way it
dribbles off the English muffin and runs down your arm.

Felice

This is a great thread. We seem to have eaten some stuff, and lived
to tell about it, and sophisticated up enough to argue about which end
of an onion to cut first. Cool.

The beet eggs are picklin', stocked up on sardines, tomatoes are just
finally coming in, don't know what is going with the radishes.
Between that and the dead animal parts the trucks keep bringing to
that place up the road, there will be sandwiches.

Hate to say this but one of our favorites growing up was just plain

Not me. Except for the tomato sauce that was heavy on tomato paste
and bay leaf, to the exclusion of much else, that was cooked not long
enough to kill its acidity, with meatballs made with saltines, which
I've now modified by using fat free saltines and OO, I am not
nostalgic about my much loved mother's cooking. I do dearly miss her
companionship, and she would have been such a fine grandmother to my
son.

The olives were on the side. Just rolling around on the plate. If
they were on the sandwich they would have appeared in the previous
sentence.

Of course. Just like they were packed. I seem to remember only
getting 4 at a time, usually.

If you like sardines and want to watch your budget or make more than
one sandwich, buy canned mackerel for about $1 for a 15oz can.
They're just large sardines and taste the same.

My mom was my best friend and would have been (imho) a wonderful
grandmom to my nephews.

I'm sad she did not live long enough.

She died 12 days before the birth of her first grandson. ;-(

Oh. Liver-woosh and onion, with olive oil and red wine vinegar, on
fresh rye bread. Kosher salt, a little BP. When I grew up, I learned
to add a real beer to that. I taught that to SWMBO, and greatly]
improved her life.

She's holed up in Lawrence
