But back to peanut butter, one of my favorites as a child was peanut butter,
crisp bacon, and a slice of onion.

People really groan about this one, but my mom made the best jello
salad - it was lemon jello and it had whole apricots in it that had
first been cut in half, and then the center where the pit was was
stuffed with a mound of bacon/peanut butter, the halves put back
together, and suspended in the jello. I know it sounds awful,
horrible, 50s "Wow, Jello!" but man, I loved it.

Egg salad sandwiches on plain white. Eggs were cheap and there were four
boys to feed so Mom used eggs a lot.

Nothing fancy... eggs, mayo and some salt and pepper. I still like it that
way.

It doesn't matter how fancy a sandwich can be, whatever our Mothers made for
us... what we grew up with.. is always the best)

My all-time favourite - bread and butter, a chunk of *real* Cheddar
cheese, and pickled onions. I've loved that all the way back until I
was five years old, when I had it with the farmer in Cheddar.
Memories get locked into one's brain.

Slabs of buttered french bread with very thin slices of cheddar. Mmm.

White bread, dayglo Heinz mustard. That's it.

A lady who kept us in Florida gave us Campbell's Soup and "Maynayze"
sandwiches. (I have heard pretentious types call these big gorgeous
black women who babysat and cleaned in the early '60s "nannies," but I just
am not sure. What I do know: I loved mine. She had her friends over and they
did the boogaloo in the kitchen! This was maybe 1961-64. When she left, she
always said, "see you later alligator."

I'm not sure about that last part. 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.

Not me. Except for the tomato sauce that was heavy on tomato paste
and bay leaf, to the exclusion of much else, that was cooked not long
enough to kill its acidity, with meatballs made with saltines, which
I've now modified by using fat free saltines and OO, I am not
nostalgic about my much loved mother's cooking. I do dearly miss her
companionship, and she would have been such a fine grandmother to my
son.

My mom was my best friend and would have been (imho) a wonderful
grandmom to my nephews.

I'm sad she did not live long enough.

She died 12 days before the birth of her first grandson. ;-(

You know, after years of fiddling around with variants, I
rediscovered the joy of that plain egg salad when making it for my
daughter. I make mine very peppery though, and thanks to
something I read here, I now use copious quantities of both black
and white pepper.

That, too.

Sometimes we would have Miracle Whip, a well-blotted slice of pineapple,
and leaf of lettuce on white bread.

Most of the sandwiches my mother made were store bought bologna, olive
loaf, or some sort of chopped ham, maybe with mayo, Miracle Whip, or
that sandwich spread stuff, had mayo and what looked like pickle relish
in it, came from Kraft IIRC. 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!

Mom would sometimes buy pickle loaf or olive loaf. We also had grilled
cheese sandwiches. Of course if there had been a baked ham, thewas always
ham sandwiches and near the end, ham salad sandwiches. Another sandwich I
loved was liverwurst and onion with mayo and mustard. Only our housekeeper
ate balogna. None of the rest of us liked it. I don't remember the brands
of store bought bread when I was a kid, except Wonder Bread, which my mom
wouldn't buy. The bread she did buy was much better. Back then I kinda
liked the sandwich spread.

Oh. Liver-woosh and onion, with olive oil and red wine vinegar, on
fresh rye bread. Kosher salt, a little BP. When I grew up, I learned
to add a real beer to that. I taught that to SWMBO, and greatly]
improved her life.

Due back home tomorrow, GW, so I'll make something special for her
dinner. Got blueberries and nectarines, for maybe a tart.

Hm, what would be proper for somebody who doesn't want to see rain
or lightening for a while???? I think stromboli is out....

Some kind of comfort food? They'll be getting in after dark.

Alex, thinking maybe chicken and rice....

Mmm... I love Liverwurst on toasted sourdough with LOTS of mayo! ;-d
What I miss most of all with this starch free diet is toasted sourdough
English Muffins. :-(

My mom, unlike my friends' moms, used Pepperidge Farm bread.

That sounds worthy of exploration.

Peanut Butter and Bacon on toast!! 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!

I have a cruising friend who loves bacon and mustard on toast for
breakfast.... usually washed down with hot chocolate. It is one of her
"guilty pleasures" every time she does on a cruise.

Well it is a bit revolting but nowhere near as bad as bacon and peanut
butter.

Well with a good hot mustard or a good Dijon it does not really sound
all that bad. I was thinking of the standard French's yellow stuff
( ugh I'm still shuddering).

I would have loved the pepperoni, but I never tasted it until I was at least
16 years old, and that was on a pizza.
