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.

Egg salad sandwiches on plain white. Eggs were cheap and there were four

Actually, that doesn't sound too bad. I used to eat sardines on crackers with my dad while we watched the ballgame. My favorite childhood sandwich was Oscar Mayer bologna on Wonder Bread with mustard and potato chips. Mashed under one's palm, it was truly a delicacy, lol. |

I've never added onion but can imagine it being good. Now my classic sandwich as a kid was sliced pepperoni (good Italian dry pepperoni) heated up in a frying pan so it gets hot and crispy, then drained on paper towels. Toast some bread and schmear with peanut butter and lay on the hot pepperoni. It gets so nice and gooey and wonderfully spicy. Try it some time! |

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! |

My mother made what I called "egg mortar", I made much better egg salad. I took over most of the cooking by the time I was perhaps 8. My mothers cooking skills have improved some in the years since I moved out and she didn't have a chef on hand. |

My favorite sandwich was "sort of" a sandwich. Mom would slice some hard salami (quartering the slices) and cheddar cheese, then we would sandwich it between two Ritz crackers. We just sat there enjoying our "mommy & me" time. Sometimes, we would have good dill pickles on the side. I still love the thought of those "sandwiches", though I haven't indulged in that guilty pleasure for many, many years. She also use to make braunschweiger sandwiches that I loved. Again, I don't eat that stuff anymore. But it still makes me smile thinking about it. I also enjoyed sardines, but we never did anything special other than using a toothpick to pull them from the tin. Worst sandwich: As a kid, she usually made our lunch because we couldn't afford hot lunches in the cafeteria everyday. I grew a huge dislike for plain cheese sandwiches when many times the cheese was old enough that there were those crunchy, white crystals in it. I still remember the texture. Blech. PB&J would have been a delicacy on those days. --Lin (we ate lots of sandwiches growing up) |

It was a challenge to keep the small radish slices from falling off the bread as I ate it. Also 1 slice of bread, slathered with Hellman's mayo and thick slices of garden fresh tomatoes is an old favorite.

For me, it was little open-faced sandwiches with but a single topping each: slices of white bread (baguette or similar), smeared with a bit of butter and topped with Hungarian salami, and French garlic sausage, and black rye also smeared with butter and topped with smoked eel, smoked halibut, and Kiel (or other Baltic) sprats. That used to be my breakfast for many years. Victor |

Once, as an art project/joke I made a bunch of balony sandwiches with the cheapest meat and bread. The only condiment was quotes from Oscar Wilde. I hadn't had lunchmeat in years. Surprisingly tasty. |
