NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Have you ever been made fun of for a sandwich you’ve created because the ingredient combinations don’t make sense at first glance? I’ve got several, which is why I ask...butter, peanut butter and honey was my first creation as a youngster, and I graduated to mayo, cheese & salsa (nuke it to melt the cheese, yum!!). There are more, but I want to hear from you! Needless to say my wife who is very anti-normal sandwiches, is constantly amazed at my creations, and not in a good way. I say don’t knock it till you’ve tried it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Peanut butter and cheese Fried bologna with tomato, lettuce, mayo, and mustard Avocado with guacamole (think about that for a minute) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 As a kid, I ate bologna-and-jelly sandwiches. I don't know what compelled me to make one in the first place, but for some reason I liked the combo. I probably stopped eating them when I decided against a life of celibacy. (Either that or I just realized that they're gross and I was only eating them because it raised eyebrows.) Today, I like PB&Js, and if we have a bag of tortilla chips that are down to the crumbs, I'll sprinkle in a layer of those. They add a nice texture, and the saltiness enhances the flavor of the PB while it complements the sweetness of the jam. My wife thinks it's a little weird, but so far, so good in the no-celibacy department. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one of my favorites: Avocado on whole wheat toast with a slice of cheese, topped with Sriracha mayo. When they're in season, throw on a slice of garden-fresh beefsteak tomato. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not so much the sandwiches, but the garnishes. Italian dressing, peppercorn ranch, vinaigrette all can take a blasé burger or cold cut sandwich and give it an edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I don’t eat them anymore, but when I was a kid I used to enjoy peanut butter and jelly with iceberg lettuce and a slice of American cheese.

As a kid I went to a friend’s and his mom asked what I’d like for lunch. I said jelly and mayonnaise sandwich. She called my mom to check, and my mom said “hey, if he asked for it, give it to him”. Thanks mom, I’m pretty sure I was looking for a PB&J, but I ate it and it stuck for a while. Don’t judge. I later moved on the dill pickle spears, cheddar cheese and yellow mustard. Again, that phase lasted a good while. Now I just eat whatever you guys give me at a tail gate. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
