Bizarre Bits Between Bread

[tryska]

that reminds me - I did try a country sausage and fig preserve sandwich once.

that was actually pretty good.

As a kid, I loved peanut butter and brown sugar sandwiches - hmmmm.

Strangely enough, I also loved braunschweiger with mayo and brown mustard on pumpernickle

My husband loves french fry sandwiches - preferably on pita with garlic sauce

[winesonoma]

Sugar and butter sandwich eaters -- did you use white sugar or brown sugar?

I always used brown sugar.  Brown sugar and peanutbutter is goood too.

White sugar, baby! Yummm.

Oh yeah, condensed milk and jam on toast is tasty.

Sometimes if I have any left over, I make a roasted chicken skin sandwich. *sigh* You would think with all the skinless chicken breasts for sale in the world, someone could sell fried chicken skin without the pesky meat.

Someone does. http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showto...=0entry784647

Yeah, that would be interesting in between two slices of flabby white bread.

But I'm talking about roasted chicken skin - not fried hard like cracklins. OK, so I like flabby chicken fat...sue me. =)

That sounds like a cousin of Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam.

2 odd favorites:

first one very cape cod: new england-style hotdog roll (sliced down the top) with tunasalad, pickle chips, and potato chips.

second one very israeli: halvah on challah

Connoisseurs of Harold's Chicken Shack would often create a Fry Sandwich. Take the white bread that sits atop the chicken, pile on the greasy french fries, top with hot sauce and fold up the bread.

Of course, who can forget the Captain Crunch sandwich that Ally Sheedy made in "The Breakfast Club"?

I think i would really enjoy a fried chicken liver sandwich.. Anyone have any suggestions to put with it..

[Gastro888]

Fried chicken liver sandwich? Add some pancetta and thinly sliced red onion to it. If you have some, top it off with the yellow sauce that comes with the Peruvian roasted chicken. (Ok, I'm sure there's a name for it, but unfortunately, I have no clue what it is. It's just rich, yellow and addictive!)

Hope this helps!

A cheddar cheese sandwich, but smear the other slice with rasberry or strawberry jam (jelly). An ancient Scottish delicacy, my father told me.

Sweet and sour, surprisingly good.

Edited as there isn't a ceddar cheese, well I don't think there is.

Ah yes. Empty food value white bread, butter, processed cheese slice on one piece of bread, strawberry jam on the other slice. Trailer trash heaven... yummy.

i adore condensed milk with cocoa powder sprinkled on top.

This is called the "Velvet Elvis". It's a peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich,

cooked on the griddle french toast style and served with Maple Syrup.

A great brunch item anytime.

My mother used to send us off to school with date and walnut sandwiches (surprisingly good!! ). Another favourite of hers was grated carrot and cheese - had to be exactly equal amounts of each -my brother got raisins in his carrot and cheese but I hated that so had it without.

She tried apple and walnut there for a while but the apple went too black and we refused to eat it.

In winter we were allowed to take a cup-a-soup (chicken noodle) and dip our vegemite sandwiches in it.

These days I love potato salad or coleslaw with ham sandwiches - but only on that day's bread - I cannot understand how people eat bread the next day (or, horrors, after that )

My mom used to make me sandwiches of raisin bread schmeared with cream cheese and crushed walnuts.

I agree with the first day bread only every time i buy some i come right home and make a PB&J even before putting most of the groceries away.

I used to work in a deli and some girls kept ordering Bacon Egg and Cheese on toast dont melt the cheese with Grape Jelly.....yuck yech yuck until one day in the diner i realized i had just put of forkfull of bacon and egg And a bite of toast with jelly in my mouth and yes, it was good...... my current B'fast sandwich made for myself at work is

a round roll...cut the very top off and then the bottom sliver.. throw out the middle Grilled sausage patty toast the roll butter and grape jelly

Actually it is halvah spread or our version of Nutella. Nutella is much better.

I was meeting up with some friends yesterday at a sportsbar, and noticed that the special of the day was a Naco Chip-Cheeseburger.

I read this originally as "fried chopped liver sandwich" instead of "chicken," and I immediately thought of deep-frying a chopped liver sandwich from Second Ave. Deli. Not like that sandwich needs improvement, but HOT DAMN, that sounds really good.

Eating out or at home, if I have bacon and eggs, I love to save some toast and bacon-- spread jelly on the toast, top with bacon-- and eat! Love that combination. I think it's that sweet, salty, savory combo going on-- same as I love chocolate covered pretzels, and a reeeaaally good sweet and pungent dish, which I can't seem to find anymore, at least in Philadelphia.....

I've always felt compelled to try the foods that characters in books like to eat. One of my favorite stories while growing up was "Harriet the Spy". Harriet ate a tomato sandwich for lunch every day. I was only nine, but I had to eat what Harriet ate. Now I make them with toasted millet bread, sliced tomatoes fresh from the farmers market, Ojai mayonnaise, and wedges of intense, crumbling cheddar. So. Good.

The "Little House" books inspired a whole series of experiments, ranging from the Great Popcorn Smokeout (Farmer Boy) to my flirtation with skin grafts while trying to make maple candy by pouring boiling hot Mrs. Butterworth on snow.

My sister, who was never much into cooking, once made us grilled sandwiches with mushroom soup filling inside...guess we were out of cheese that day.

We loved them and it became one of our favourites...couse the other kids thought we were nuts.

Guess it's one of those bizzare childhood food memories and I still crave them from time to time.

My dad got me started on cookie sandwiches - white bread slathered with butter and however many Dutch speculaas cookies it took to cover the surface of the bread. It could also double as a dessert.

I also used to like making peanut butter sandwiches with chocolate sprinkles. Kind of like a peanut butter cup sandwich. :)

[PurpleDingo99]

bread sandwitches, of course! ( /southpark )

salami and peanut butter sandwitches were always great. hell, if i wernt full after wienerschnitzel (the fast food, not the dish) and a throwtogether float, i would make myself one right now.

CHIP BUTTIES

(for our American cousins, French Fries with ketchup on white thickly buttered bread)

The best way to eat McDonald's fries! And when I get a craving for a McD's cheeseburger, I still gross out my partner by putting the fries in with it (and tossing the pickle at him).

Hellmann's mayo, ripple chips between 2 slices of store-bought potato or buttermilk bread. Or the gourmet version - add an avocado.

Iceburg lettuce & mayo between the same sort of bread.

My mum's thing was Roger's Golden Syrup between two slices of squishy white bread. And I'm with the other posters - it's gotta be storebought white bread, because it was always such a treat at home since mum was heavily into making healthy brown bread (which now, of course, I love - but back then - Wonderbread, French's mustard, process cheese, bologna, were all huge treats - only ever eaten at other people's houses as mum wouldn't buy processed food).
