listed on the list. I used to (and still do at times) make a biscuit
sandwich made with bacon or sausage spread with jelly or jam. Strawberry is
my favorite but I also like them with grape or blackberry. I used to love Miracle Whip with hotdog
relish on soft white bread. No one else likes them and now neither do Ii,
LOL. A fond memory I had when I was a child
at home was eating cold corn bread, mustard and a big piece of left over
salt meat. Sometimes I would eat the corn bread and mustard without the
meat. Just depended on if there was any leftovers. Another favorite of mine
and still is, a hot home made biscuit, real molasses and butter mixed
together. Growing up as a share croppers daughter we ate a lot of things
that now would be considered unhealthy. But it must not have hurt us to bad
my granny lived to 92 and Im nearly 70. Hi Nancy, Regarding childhood sandwiches: Not
mine, but my oldest daughter's favorite was white bread spread with peanut
butter and chocolate syrup poured over and another slice of bread. (Sounds
like a peanut butter cup, doesn't it?) Hi Nancy -- I've tried to respond to
several requests in the past, but for some reason my computer wouldn't send
it. I sure hope you get this. Hi everyone, With everyone writing about
their favorite sandwiches when they were children, brought to mind the love
of homemade bread, the smell, and mostly the TASTE. Since my breadmaker went
on the fritz, I haven't made any bread. Would any of you fabulous cooks have
a TNT recipe? I'm open to white, whole wheat or just your favorite, any
kind! I love to receive Nancy's e-mail with everyone's favorite recipe and
comments......God Bless. Just realized today that I hadn't been
receiving your newsletters for about a week now. I have been so busy with
wedding planning and starting a new job, that I haven't had time to even
think about it. Not a big deal, because I know where to go online to read
them! But it is my favorite email to get each day. And I had to add my two
cents worth on silly sandwiches. My mom always ate raw potato sandwiches
with a little salt and pepper, and sometimes a slice of raw onion. And we
ate our share of scrambled egg sandwiches with ketchup. There were seven of
us kids and we didn't know that we were as they say now "income challenged".
We had lots of chickens so we ate LOTS of eggs. To this day, eggs are NOT
one of my favorite things to eat. Nancylanders: Just remembered another
sandwich, which happens to be my favorite all time sandwich ever. During
WWII, my aunt Ferne lived with our family while dad was in the Navy. She
shared some of the kitchen duties would sometimes make this sandwich. Take
one large egg and crack it into a bowl, then using a fork, mix the egg like
making scrambled eggs. Pour the beaten egg into a preheated skillet with a
little cooking oil or butter, season with salt and black pepper and cook
until well set. Without scrambling, turn the egg over and cook the other
side until the egg is completely cooked. Place the warm egg onto a slice of
white bread that has been spread with mayonnaise. Top with a second slice of
white For Doris in Oklahoma City Re: syrup &
butter mixed together then put on bread was always & still is a favorite of
mine. Have you ever tried honey & butter? It's good also. Now here's a
strange sandwich! My brother eats a baloney, cheese & peanut butter on 2
slices of bread--my husband ate one with him & commented "Not
Bad"--Strange!!! Hi Nancy and furry friends, Nancy, first I want to thank you for all
the work you put into this newsletter, and to all the readers for all the
recipes, all the info about other things too. I loved reading about all the
difference sandwiches from in the past. I also ate mayonnaise, catsup
sandwiches while growing up and banana, peanut butter sandwiches with
mayonnaise and still eat those now one in a while. Hi Nancy and all of you Nancylanders,
Sandi Hutson in Jasper, Texas... The
English call French fries sandwiches: 'chip butties' Star: can't wait to try
your recipe for the Crispy Ice Cream! !! Thank you Nancy for this wonderful
letter. I can't wait to read it every day :) Just had to add another "childhood"
sandwich favorite to all the replies. I actually had two. One was tearing
white bread into pieces and covering it with Karo syrup. I guess that's a
stretch for a sandwich! The other sandwich is a bacon, lettuce, tomato and
peanut butter sandwich. Toast the bread. Spread peanut butter on both pieces
of bread. Add the bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. Yummy!!! I was amazed when I
realized the whole world didn't eat this sandwich. To respond to Lesleigh in Pa., your dad
was right, they taste a lot better than they smell. They really are quite
good. The kind we used, in the jar, is a lot different than the kind in a
brick. I've never had the nerve to try that kind, lol. I always remember the
story my uncle told about them stopping at a cheese shop one day, ( many,
many years ago ) and he bought a brick of limburger cheese. They started
home and my aunt made him stop the car and put it in the trunk, she couldn't
stand the smell. Nancy, I am replying to the different
type sandwiches, that we ate as children. My grandpap worked the All of these sandwich combinations are
making me hungry. Betty in MD mentioned mixing catsup and Hi, Nancy. I have to join the discussion
about sandwiches in early days. Since I was an only child, my Mother worked
outside a lot, and I was left to experiment with whatever combination of
food I could find in the kitchen cupboard. My favorite was white bread
spread with butter, then topped with mustard, salt and pepper! Another one I
took to school, was bread and butter topped with sandwich spread. Another
favorite my husband introduced me to during WW II was of peanut butter and
Karo Syrup mixed together spread on any kind of bread. Of course you could
dip the slice of bread in the bowl too. Those were the I too loved potato salad sandwiches,
especially right after the potato salad was made, while it was still And down memory lane, we always ate
mustard sandwiches with thin slices of white onion for a late- night snack.
My dad used to make us breakfast by putting sugar on hot, buttered toast and
then we'd dip spoonfuls of hot coffee on it as we ate it (using plate and
fork). We loved it! I resisted as long as I can about my
'favorite' sandwich. I agree with Suz in Louisiana about the potato salad
sandwiches, but I also (and still do) liked potato salad on saltine
crackers. Another good one for me was leftover dressing and cranberry sauce
on white bread smeared with mayonnaise. No wonder I now have trouble with my
weight, have had a heart attack and have trouble with my cholesterol! If we
had only known back then. Either of these would still taste good but I know
I can't eat either. Nancy, Reading all these different sandwich
fillings people enjoyed growing up has brought back memories to me as well.
I remember loving scrambled egg sandwiches on toast, until I asked if I
could have one for school lunch, not realizing how soggy the bread would be
by then. I didn't eat them again until they became a popular fast food
breakfast item in recent years. I love them again! My father was a lover of
raw hamburger, as was his mother. They would both love to eat a chunk of
freshly ground hamburger from the butcher (before it came pre-packaged), but
dad particularly liked to put his between two slices of bread with a slice
of raw onion, salt and pepper. He'd only do this when it was first bought,
before it was put away. I also remember his eating baked beans and cottage
cheese on crackers. My mother remembers eating baked bean sandwiches. Someone mentioned mixing Karo syrup with
butter and dipping their bread in it and I to used to do that. I also did it
with molasses and butter. All this talk is making me crave this mix. Too bad
I've never learnt an easy recipe for biscuits or I'd make some and have this
tonight. My granny makes the best biscuits around but since she doesn't use
a recipe no one can copy these. Hope everyone is doing well. regarding weird sandwiches, when I was
growing up, a favorite sandwich was taking a biscuit left over from
breakfast, spreading with mayonnaise or mustard then putting a slice of
onion and fresh tomato right from the garden on it. mm was good at the time. I've had a lot of fun reading all the sandwich stories. My favorites when I came home from school were onion and mustard on an old cold biscuit. I remember also making a biscuit sandwich with English peas. I guess I thought I was the only person
who ever ate these kinds of sandwiches. I'm not even sure we Hello to all at Nancys Kitchen. I am way
behind on reading my newsletters. Had and fall and fractured my pelvis. No
surgery necessary thank goodness. However, looks like Myron started
something with the "oldie" sandwiches. My alltime favorite was peanut butter
and mustard on Wonder bread of course. Sounds yucky now but sure was good
when I was young. Been a long time since I even thought of it. Maybe I
should try it now I might still like it. Oh yes, here in Atlanta Wonder
bread can be purchased at Wal-Mart super stores and it is still as good as
ever. Sue in GA My favorite 'sandwich' was bread spread
with lots of miracle whip and lots of potato chips crunched in. Also, re: sandwiches; I remember my mom
eating radish sandwiches, also beet sandwiches and onion ones. Thanks for
all you do, love the newsletter, but more importantly, my family loves it!
Martie in Oregon, Sept.18, I had a
wonderful GRANDMOTHER that made the most to die for homemade Hello Nancylanders! This is in response to Maryann in WY who
wrote of her aunt who got her and her cousins/sisters/brothers hooked on
peanut butter, mayonnaise and pickle sandwiches. I am writing because over
50 years ago at Girl Scout Camp in Ossippee NH we would raid the kitchen and
make these same sandwiches. The three items were the only ones kept in the
unit kitchen! And, they were soooooo good. The Camp's name was Weetamoe, run
by the Cambridge, Mass. Girl Scouts. It was a large part of my life for
about 6 summers. And, I run into others campers in the darnest places, one
in Spain singing with a choral, another on campus Soph. year in College,
another in the MIT band who played at college one night when I was a Junior
and Ruthie was a Soph. I thank those wonderful people for so much I learned
in life. For Martie in Oregon, mentioned home
made bread in the 9/19/06 newsletter. My high school boyfriends Everyone is going back to the past about
the sandwiches (I've eaten sardine sandwiches & the butter & I finally couldn't stand it any longer &
had to jump in on the weird sandwiches. I loved "potted meat" sandwiches.
You bought it in tiny little cans (and it is still available). Sometimes
when I was lucky enough to have a nickel I would buy a can of that instead
of candy or "pop" , open the can & smear it on white bread. I still get
hungry for it once in a while - but now I mix it with minced egg & onion, &
put a slice of tomato (when I have fresh) on it. My favorite sandwiches must be really
strange because I haven't seen them mentioned yet. Number 1 would have to be
Miracle Whip on white bread with as many potato chips stuffed between the
two slices of bread as possible. I still eat this when no one else is home
to see me. I love peanut butter on one slice of bread, Miracle Whip on the
other with tuna salad in the middle with bread and butter pickles and of
course chips on the side. One sandwich I can't seem to talk anyone into
trying is softened cream cheese on white bread with a generous amount of
sliced stuffed olives. And last but not least is buttered white bread toast
with grape jelly and a big slice of onion. I find it amazing that we all eat
these kinds of food but feed our children and grandchildren much healthier
food and childhood weight is out ofcontrol. Mary Newton Falls OH in Sept 20
newsletter. Favorite childhood sandwiches ??
Jeanlock in F"burg VA, I sure remember that nasty castor oil in orange
juice. I still don't like orange juice. I also remember cod liver oil.
My grandmother kept a bottle of cod liver oil on the fire escape and when
I would come home for lunch, from school, she would give me a tablespoon
and tell me to take a tablespoon of cod liver oil. I would fill the spoon
and drop it out the window. Of course, eventually, someone spotted the
oil outside and my goose was cooked. Hi Nancy, O.K. I have to get in on the act too.
Our favorite after school snack was not a
sandwich but some Hershey's cocoa and sugar mixed together in a cup and
eaten with a spoon. I tried some of that years later to see if my children
would like it and I don't see how my siblings and I ever ate it. I still
like mashed bananas and peanut butter sandwiches. A "foldover" to us was
any sandwich on one slice of bread instead of two. Bring the bottom up to
meet the top and, voila, a foldover. Lesleigh and Shannon, my mother made
the best macaroni and tomatoes. I still make it but I cheat. I just saute
some onions, then add a can of stewed tomatoes to a recipe of Kraft shells
and Velveeta. Love it. Nancy, meows, and friends, (we've
always called our kitties "meows") I must get in on the remembrances of
childhood after school sandwiches. Mine was
and still is white bread slathered with peanut butter and mayonnaise,
absolutely the best! ! Dad taught me some thing I haven't seen here yet.
He said he and his father used to eat it. Take a piece if white bread and
cut in half; put a pat of butter on each end; then cover one end with
cottage cheese and dark Karo syrup. Quickly dunk it in a glass of milk and
slurp it down. You had four bites this way. I loved it and to this day
cover my cottage cheese with dark Karo. Dad also had a "stinky cheese"
which had to go to the back porch after a sandwich. This was a yellow
cheese, don't remember much more about it. Childhood
sandwich memories have been so much fun for me to read. OK, this is for NANCY and all, I have
been waiting for something close to this to be sent in about favorite
childhood sandwiches but have not seen it
yet. MUSTARD AND NESTLE QUICK on bread. (this is one of my earliest
memories) don't know how it was good but I still love chocolate and
mustard just not Nancy, Just wanted to add my favorite
sandwich--Peanut Butter and Marshmallow cream YUM! In regard to Charlene from West
Tennessee. and her mother's favorite sandwich being mayonnaise, a slice of
American cheese and a slice of drained pineapple. That was my Daddy's
favorite sandwich also. I really like them too. It must be a Tennessee
thing because my hubby is from Alaska and I was telling him about Daddy
and his pineapple sandwich just a few weeks ago and he thought it sounded
really terrible. This coming from a man who will eat a sandwich with
cake,Fritos and onions on it. LOL Never thought I would hear about
anyone eating mine and my daughters favorite
sandwich, which is Peanut Butter and a Dill Pickle. So was shocked
when Shannon in Ohio wrote that was on of her favorites too. They are
delicious. Hi Nancy, Sandwiches from
the 30's and 40's
