unusual sandwiches

[Dan Carey]

Dad used to take me hunting on a lot of private property when I was a kid. He knew all of the property owners and they all knew him. Hunting was allowed if, and only if, you asked the landowners permission.

This one gentleman, was right out of a TV show...bib overalls, straw hat with a frayed brim, and mucking boots. We always got there early, just before sunrise and he'd greet my Dad with a handshake in his right and an onion & butter sandwich in his left hand. Strangest combination sandwich I ever did see!

That actually sounds wonderful.

Seriously, where's ol' Wadcutter ? I thought he'd be steppin' up to the (oversize) plate for this one !
Catdaddy's tasty l'il' amuse bouche is gonna take a bit of beating tho' !

My coworker eats egg whites (cooked) and peanut butter on a roll. It looks disgusting, but he swears that everyone brave enough to try it, loves it.... I haven't gotten up the nerve, lol

Me? I keep it pretty simple these days.. but when I was a kid it was peanut butter and banana sandwiches (or peanut butter and honey... or peanut butter and fluff marshmallow)

Scrambled eggs and jelly is pretty good.

I make what I call the PBA - peanut butter and apple butter. I think it's better than grape jelly.

What I absolutely CANNOT stand, to even look at, is cheese and mayo. It makes me want to vomit! Though if there's roast beef or turkey involved, it's fine. I cannot do ham cheese and mayo.

A good sharp cheddar 'n' onion sandwich.

Or cheddar 'n' branston. Or cheddar 'n' marmite. Also partial to a roast chicken 'n' stuffing sandwich too.

I made a chip butty the other day... my wife thought I was crazy. Until she tried it.

Back in the day, when I lived in Crouch End, London, there was a shop called 'Hot Pepper Jelly'. They used to make a delicious toasted sandwich containing peanut butter, bacon and the aforementioned hot pepper jelly. Exceptional.

Now THAT, sounds excellent. I'll be on the lookout for some hot pepper jelly !

Talking of the cheese and mayo, it sounds truly vulgar. Why is it so difficult to find a sandwich without the omnipresent mayonnaise these days ?
It's fine for those who like mayo, or those who are not allergic to it, but it leaves me in cold sweats and I cannot stand the stuff. Every pre-made sandwich, in every shop, supermarket, or petrol station these days contains a huge slathering of mayonnaise. Time to ban it.

I honestly gagged reading that.

So did I whenever we went hunting on his property!
