Your childhood sandwich?

Haven't read the whole thread, but would like to say the ham salad sandwich was my A No. 1.


Ground up ham (or ring bologna), sour pickles, a dash of onion and mayo, served on bakery white bread, with a glash of milk. Makes me miss grandma whenever I think of it.

Well I was hoping the pics would show up with the links. Guess not. Anyone care to tell me how to post pics and then you can see my Hayden Panettiere/Reese Witherspoon sandwich?

Is Hayden legal yet? Is that an obstacle?

Cream cheese and grape jelly.

That was a staple of my mother's bag lunch repertoire. It was really special when she used raisin bread. Tons of bologna from Joe's deli around the corner, too. Dad would get a pound a week and tell the five of us kids it had to last all week. We were back to peanut butter and jam (not jelly) by Tuesdays. Tuna, egg and chicken salads, toss in a ham salad once in a while. If you were lucky, there might be some leftover pot roast from Sunday dinner. An ample spread of horse radish later and you were in heaven. Had about a two-year stretch of fluffernutters. Grilled cheese, usually with tomato soup, if I came home from school for lunch. When my father was on night shift he'd be home and like to make an open-faced ham-and-swiss on the little party size pumpernickel slices, serve 'em with a gherkin pickle. Crack open a can of sardines and you were set. He was also a big fan of the western sandwich, too. He did a nice peppers-and-egg or sausage-and-peppers heroes. We collectively revolted when my mom tried to get away with olive loaf.

I had no idea there was another one of us.
I still eat the things and my kids are revolted by the notion.

My mom is 100 percent Irish. Could it be a middle-clash Irish thing? I don't see it anywhere in the handbook.
