Any “unique” sandwich ingredient combinations?

[NoHuddleKelly12]

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 ?

Peanut butter and cheese

 

Fried bologna with tomato, lettuce, mayo, and mustard 

 

Avocado with guacamole (think about that for a minute)

[WhoTom]

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. ?

The first one sounds off, even by my out there standards, but I’m not judging. #2 sounds great!

A standard recipe from the Department of Redundancy Department.

 

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.

Chips in a sandwich is pretty common.  Putting the chip crumbs in a sandwich is genius!

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.

Similar to mine

Slaw works so well on many sammiches. Try a vinegar slaw rather than typical mayo some time.

[PRBills]

Not unique, but people usually look at me sideways when i eat toasted tomato sandwiches...

 

Sliced tomato, salt, pepper & mayo on toast... Mmm

Can’t say. Never kissed him after he ate one. 

[Johnny Hammersticks]

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.  My parents swear that I didn’t learn about them from anyone...just made it up and rolled with it.

As a kid, Friday lunchtime was always fried Spam on fresh white bread.  Probably explains my Stage IV evaluation.  ?

Only before? I can see why that onion might scare you off! 

 

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.   ?

Thousand island brushed on some baked tilapia, broiled to a nice crisp??

Had grilled cheese sammies for dinnah last night.   Fried bologna and ham in a pan first.  American, mozzarella and cheddar cheese with both meats.  Phenomenal.

An issue of the ‘Old Farmers Almanac’ years ago featured an article about growing, harvesting, and processing horseradish.  The author recounted seeing an elderly neighbour put peanut butter, cheddar, onion, and a healthy dollop of horseradish on a sandwich.  The geezer claimed it warded off most maladies.

my pops ate an onion and mustard sammy ..or what he called a "Hoover Steak Sandwich" ( teen years were during the depression), every week and claimed it was a big reason he never caught a cold. 

 

Once a month or so he would add Limburger cheese to it..oh my

Limburger was a favourite of my parents’ generation, you rarely see (actually, smell) people eating it nowadays.

Oh there’s lots of stuff you probably shouldn’t do lol, but 10-15 secs to get the cheese going doesn’t do the mayo any harm in my experience...like I said, this is not about anything normal with sandwiches ?
