Our commenters are on a bit of a roll.
Last week, our colleague Jo Parker extolled the virtues of her childhood sandwich favorite the peanut butter and Vidalia onions sandwich. She wrote in part, "The cool, crunchy sweetness of Vidalias pairs terrifically with the peanuttiness. Smooth or crunchy – up to you. I remember eating these as a girl in Illinois, but I really don’t know the sandwich’s pedigree."
In response, more than 200 readers served up love letters to their favorite non-traditional ‘wiches. They ranged from strawberry preserves paired with mayonnaise to peanut butter and…well, everything under the sun, stackable between two buns.
The many layers of onion love
I've got a couple that are great. Don't laugh until you try them! Sardines mixed with mustard, mayo (mix these three together to form a spread) and sliced raw onions on whole wheat. Also try sautéed liver with grilled onions, maple syrup and hot sauce on whole wheat. One of the best there is! - Redpearl
My grandpa goes one up on the PB and onion. His is peanut butter, onion and yellow mustard. I can’t eat onions but I do love me some PB and mustard sandwiches! - Tamra
I also enjoy PB & bologna & onion. - Julie
In a pickle!
Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches on toasted bread are fantastic! They kind of remind me of Thai peanut dipping sauce paired with spring rolls. - Karl
Peanut butter, dill pickles & mayonnaise. My dad used to eat it when he was a kid and we love it too. My mom despises it. - Mrs Marvel
Peanut butter, mustard, and sweet pickle relish on toast, or wheat bread. - Pattigee
My best friend got pregnant in high school and I always had to try food with her. My favorite concoction was definitely creamy peanut butter with dill pickle chips covering the entire peanut butter spread. - MsAttitude
Peanut butter and Branston Pickle. I guess you have to be English to know what that even is, but when I find a jar over here in Seattle, I am delighted! - Chandira
PB, pickles, and bacon on plain white bread. YUM! - Dave
Peanut butter and sweet pickles...the BEST sandwich ever! - Christy
No shame in the mayonnaise game
Another delight was mayonnaise and strawberry preserve sandwiches. - MsAttitude
White bread, bologna, mayo, plain potato chips. - A-man
I love peanut butter and mayonnaise. My mom used to make these and bring them out to us as a snack when working in the field as a kid. Mmmmmmm. Gonna go make one right now. - Tarvakion Dar
Peanut Butter, Lettuce & Mayonnaise sandwiches! Especially with nice crisp iceberg or romaine lettuce and either Kraft or Hellman's mayo (a different but equally enjoyable choice). My grandmother used to eat them and now they are my favorite, and the subject of a lot of teasing from the uninitiated... Gonna have to try adding bacon after reading all of these posts! - JackM
Long live the PBnO
I have been eating PB and onion for 45 years, mmmmmmm - jack
I have loved peanut butter and onion sandwiches since I was a child in the 60's! - BBB
Growing up on the west side of Cleveland, mom would take me to Bearden's Restaurant. They had the best peanut butter and onion hamburgers! I've tried to re-create the taste, but nothing comes close. - clevelander
Wow. I can't believe someone else eats the exact same thing that my father loved: peanut butter and onion sandwiches! As much as I love onion, I could never develop a taste for it myself and I always thought it was just him. - Josef Melton
Bean there, ate that
Also peanut butter and jelly with bologna, cheese, mayo and baked beans. May the force be with you! - nrabill
Are you kidding, peanut butter and onion is the best, been eating them for years. I also like peanut butter and (believe it or not) baked beans and bacon, if I have any. Love It. - Bonboop
Refried beans spread on toast. Add onions and Miracle Whip. Poor man’s sandwich. The beans replace meat. - MaMarie
Pork and bean sandwiches: take a slice of bread and spread on drained pork and beans, cover with a slice of American cheese and two strips of bacon crossed over the top. Salt and pepper, then toast under the broiler until the cheese is melted and a little burned and bubbly. We had these a lot when I was a kid. Easy and cheap! - MomOf3
Much ado about Doritos
Peanut butter and jelly with Doritos - nrabill
First one not a sandwich but so good together! Doritos with a canned smoked oyster on top! YUM! This sandwich is to die for! English muffin (toast first) then place in the following order a slice of tomato, a slice of Swiss cheese, a dollop of mayo, sprinkle with dill and place in toaster oven until cheese is melted (have open-faced); YUM! - Ingrid
PBJ with Doritos on it, so crunchy! - lovemypbj
Peanut butter and dill pickles are an AWESOME duo! Love it! Especially with some good cheesy Doritos on the side! YUM! - tonia
Sounds fishy...
I'm a PB&B girl myself, but I remember this one sandwich from high school. Tuna fish, French onion dip, Kraft singles, brown mustard and corn chips on Mrs. Bairds white bread roared over a bunsen burner. We used to eat lunch in our science teacher's classroom. - Houstonian
Before I went vegetarian my favorite sandwich was a grilled blue cheese, anchovy and ketchup sandwich. Of course the house smelled for days! - Bob
Tuna salad & creamy Peter Pan peanut butter. Must be Peter Pan. - SpacedogFL
Growing up here in AK, I used to love a moose nose sandwich with my Uncle, he's full native Yupik. But a special treat was Mom's grilled cheese, seaweed and salmon – that takes me back! - Sourdough
Got a favorite wacky sandwich? We're hungry for more. Spread the love in the comments below.

peanut butter, mayonaise and dill pickles are to die for.
I can make a sandwich out of anything when i'm hungry at night and don't want to wake anyone up by cooking! Sunflower seeds, green olives, butter, BBQ, cheese, and spices from the rack are frequent occurrences! Unfortunately, we don't keep a ton of stuff like that in our fridge or I would have tried so much more by now!
Probably this blogs best post to date...
Sounds crazy, but on "health nut" bread, layer on cream cheese, avocado and sunflower seeds. It's my favorite "junk" health food and it's crazy good.
This makes perfect sense to me
1. cheese and ketchup :))))) yummm use to make my babysitter make it for me, she though i was krazy! but still eat it all the time:)))) and if i have them spicy doritos!!!
2. pb&marshmellow fluf but has to be on potato bread! :)))))
3. adding spicy doritos to any smitch....perfection
Peanut butter, butter, toasted bread cooler ranch doritos
american cheese and sweet pickles, miracle whip. got this one from my mom.
On a cold winter night, white bread and hot chili /no beans spread on it. Very very good!
Hot toast with Nutella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg better than Se$!
1. Liverwurst with miracle whip and sweet pickles slices.
2. PB & bacon – a staple growing up.
3. Butter and molasses, open-faced. We ate these as kids while waiting to change the clocks in the spring and fall at 2am.
4. a grade-school friend's mom stirred together PB, butter, honey and dry milk powder and spread it on whole wheat – not bad!
5. Fried bologna, yellow cheese, yellow mustard (one of my dad's)
Cream cheese and diced green olives
This is one of my faves!
That would be delicious on crackers! I'm not a sandwich person, except for grilled cheese.
Ritz cracker with pepper jack cheese and a schmeer of cream cheese, Heavan!
white bread, Miracle Whip, nacho Doritos
I have 2 favorite sandwiches. Tuna salad, Mircle Whip (no mayo for me) and potato chips on white bread. The second one is turkey, stuffing & jellied cranberry sauce on white bread
not a sandwich but good none the less.........peanut butter on ritz cracker with marshmallow. heat in microwave for 10 seconds....mmmmmmmm tasty!
I lived on peanut butter, banana, and chocolate syrup on whole wheat toast during pregnancy. Yummmm!
I loved Peanut butter, marshmallows, and hot chocolate powder with raisins.
Are you that d@mned hurricane in the Atlantic? Will you please hurry up and make up your mind where you're going to hit. I don't have all day.
Peanut Butter, Honey, and bacon bits. :)
Olive loaf and mayo on white bread (back when I could still find olive loaf, which I admit I haven't seen in decades!).
i read through the majority of the replies here, but i don't remember seeing this one at all:
grilled fluffernutter sandwich!! creamy peanut butter and marshmallow creme, grilled on good white bread....yummmmy
Cream cheese and green olives on rye bread. The cream cheese keeps the bread from getting soggy from the olive juice. Mmmmm, I'm going to go make one right now.
Oh, and my favorite as a kid when I went to Grandma's: alternating slices of bologna and that gross individually wrapped American cheese piled at least 2 inches high with no bread, and a glass of iced tea.
My mom used to pack me olive and cream cheese sandwiches for school! I was so embarrassed . . . She wanted to give me variety. I just wanted pb&j every day like everyone else!
* White bread, mayo, sliced hard salami, swiss cheese and doritos.
* Peanut butter and vidalia onions with just a light drizzle of maple syrup
Not really weird, but creamy PB with honey on warm toasted whole wheat bread! DELICIOUS!
My four year old made dinner the other night: hummus, strawberry jam, and cucumber slices on whole wheat. It was pretty good.
When I had the chicken pox as a kid, banana and mayo on Wonder Bread was the only thing that didn't hurt when I ate it. Sweet and salty and slid right down.
Oh, and white french with butter, white cheddar and slices of jalapeno
butter and marmite on slices of french bread (toasted or not)
My sister is a vegetarian and makes dill pickle, mayo, doritos, swiss, munster, pretzels and cream cheese sandwiches. Also try pb&jelly sundae.
Not a sandwich but she also likes chocolae pudding mixed with cheerios and peanut butter.
condensed cream of mushroom soup strait out of the can on white bread - MMMMMMM – GGOOOODD !!!
when I was pregnant, I loved grilled cheese with dill pickle slices and big glass of chocolate milk...mmmmm!! Mike B, I wasnt really replying to your comment just didnt see how to add my own comment due to being technilogically-challenged.
Two personal favorites I discovered while living in Belgium:
1. Goat cheese, apple slices, and honey
2. Camembert, sliced red grapes, and walnuts
Both served on fresh baguette or ciabatta bread. Fantabulous!
Toasted rye bread, smeared with a thin layer of creamy peanut butter, topped with a couple thick slices of tomato, sprinkled with salt and pepper. Its best when the toast is still warm, so make sure you have your tomato slices and peanut butter ready as soon as it comes out of the toaster!
My brother – peanut butter, regular butter, jelly and cinnamon sugar on white
Me – Crushed Lays potato chips on the softest Wonder Bread you can find
Carbs on carbs but SSSSOOOOOOO good
I'm all for trying new things or what ever, but I think I'm gonna have to pass on all of the concoctions mentioned in this article. In fact, I'm a little queasy after reading this. But hey, its what ever you like I suppose. I've heard stories about people in jail making Ramen noodle sandwiches...I'm not sure of all of the ingredients but I know one of the steps is sticking it under your mattress for a time.
Mustard, american cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos...yum!
My husbands favorite – peanut butter, cheese and bacon rolled up in a tortilla.
I love scrambled eggs with salt and pepper on buttered bread....not toast, just bread!
Tortillas yes! Sliced cabbage, crunchy PB, onion, and Vietnamese chile sauce. Roll it up!
my reply was to Teri actually
apple slices and mayo on whole wheat bread. You can add Peanut butter too if you like. Also sliced cucumbers and mayo on white bread with thin sliced fresh tomatoes...wonderful.
Looked up the recipe for Moose Nose. Now I wish I hadn't. ~shiver~
Liverwurst, onion, mustard and mayo on raisin bread.
Peanut butter with marshmallow cream on white bread. YUM
PB/Cream Cheese/Dried Apricots/Sunflower seeds. 'Nuf said.
I also love a salt bagel with cream cheese and nacho cheese Doritos.
Peanut butter (smooth or creamy) with mustard and beef salami on wheat bread. Yummy! My father's favorite is peanut butter, mayonnaise and salted (preferably home-grown) tomatoes on white bread. I'm not a fan of that one.
Peanut butter and lots of crushed barbeque potato chips.
an old fashioned SH1T sandwhich is my fav
This may have been mentioned already but white bread, bone marrow and a little salt and pepper. Yum.
peanut butter and butter on martin's potato bread. heaven.
PB and Kraft Sandwich Spread on any 2 slices of bread. Obvious that I'm the first in my family to post as this has been a staple for over 50 years. PB and honey good and good for ya on whole wheat. Yum!
Grilled cheese with onion, ketchup and mustard – a cheeseburger without the burger.
No wonder most Americans are fat slobs.
Oh look....a C**T...how nice.
A cart?
A cast?
A cent?
A chat?
A chit?
A coat?
A colt?
A cost?
funniest thing I've read in a while. thanks Jeff.
so what you say now, stupid?
Peanut Butter, Banana, Lettuce and Mayo on wheat bread. My dad introduced me to them when I was a kid and I plan to introduce them to my kids soon. Make sure the banana isn't soft and the lettuce is crisp.
I wondered when I would see a PB + banana + mayo. Haven't heard of the version with lettuce. Thanks for the new idea. I love a good PB + banana + mayo sandwich on whole wheat bread......with a big glass of milk, of course!
Oh my. My mom also used to make butter and white sugar sandwiches, on soft white Wonder bread, for us. I had totally forgotten about that until I saw another reader post it.
Peanut butter, crispy bacon and lettuce on white bread. If the bread is well buttered, it's even better.
Our family favorite is a grilled cheese with raw onion and garlic. Best sandwich in the world and also the stinkiest!
Okay, so it's not a sandwich...but I love a saltine with a slice of cheddar cheese on top, with a scoop of raspberry jam on the cheese, and a dollop of horseradish on the jam.
Peanut butter, sliced banana and mayo on white bread – choke n slide sammich-YUM!!!
That's a perfect nickname for that sandwich! Gotta have a big, cold glass of milk to wash it down.
Cow's tounge ... cooked in a pressure cooker .... sliced, with a little BBQ or chili sauce.
You're all nuts.....
Jk jk!
The eirdest i've gotten is sliced grilled ham, avocado, tomato, an egg over well, pickled sliced jalepenos, mayo & refried beans spread on each side of the bread.
Oh, and crumbled queso fresco.
OCfourse we have to use the big mexican "torta" loaves halved & toasted in a skillet and like only 1/2 can be eaten cuz its so big.
That sounds AWESOME. I will try it tonight when I get home.
I absolutely love to take Mrs. Baird's pull apart cinnamon rolls (of course with the icing) and put a slice a bologna with it and make a sandwich. Yum Yummy!!!!!
Cottage cheese, ketchup & black pepper sandwiches was one of my father's concoctions– peanut butter and bacon bits was one of my mother's. They're both pretty good.
PB, banana and a little yellow mustard, smushed up together on white bread. MUST be served with a tall glass of Pepsi and Milk (ala Lavern & Shirley). This was a treat at my house growing up. Still one of my favorite comfort foods.
Are you freeking serious!!! "Peanut Butter, Lettuce & Mayonnaise sandwiches!" One word....GROSS!
snot on crakers!lol!
Jelly & bacon on toast...YUM! The perfect combo of sweet & salt.
I have not read all the posts but I have not seen a vote cast for Peanut Butter and Pepperoncinis
Grilled portwine cheese sandwich with pickle relish, Kipper Snacks, brown mustard, mayo and chunky peanut butter.
Your post reminded me, I used to use that spreadable port wine cheese on sandwiches instead of the sliced cheese product. That was a great pairing with roast beast or ham.
Liverwurst and Grape Jelly with lettuce and Mayo on white. Deeeeeelicious!!!
Grilled peanut butter, bacon and stilton!!!
Peanut butter & avocado, but it has to be chunky peanut butter or the texture is too pastey.
Peanut butter, mayonnaise and banana made into a spread, topped with bologna on white bread. Also, grilled cheese with dill pickles. Delicious!
Grilled pickles with dill relish AND ketchup. Yum!
peanutbutter & tiny marshmellos, a little chewey but the taste is ambrosia. Also apple butter & margarine sandwichs.
May not be strange..but i like dill pickle and cheese sandwich....
Peanut butter and apple butter on white or wheat bread. Also white buttered bread, lettuce and potato chips.
Spread some apple butter (preferably homemade) on a fresh croissant. Layer turkey, apple slices & cheddar cheese. Toast until the cheese melts. Heaven!
I wasn't hungry 'til I read that. ;)
Peanut Butter and Tomato – adult verson of pbj – yummy! Take it up a notch with sweet yellow tomatoes and some celery salt.
Fried green tomatoes and beer cheese. Pure comfort.
You must have crispy bacon with that peanut butter and tomato sandwich. Then it's complete!
"Fried green tomatoes and beer cheese. Pure comfort." Gotta try that next tomato season!
PB & T are my favorite!
Peanut butter and honey on fakeout whole wheat bread, like Nature's Own. The honey somehow makes the interior of the bread almost crispy–a delightful textural mystery. Then Swiss cheese, fresh garden (not storebought) tomato, lettuce and mayo on real whole wheat. And cucumber, mayo on whole wheat with salt and pepper on both. Summer on a sandwich!
No one has mentioned peanut butter (either smooth or crunchy) sliced bananas and mayonaise on either white bread or wheat bread. Toast the bread or grill the sandwich, both are yummy! (My favorite is on Holsum or Sunbeam white bread, untoasted!)
my favorite is gorton (pork spread) and philly cream cheese on buttered toast... or even better, on a buttered english muffin... SO GOOD!!! :)
Wonder bread, oscar meyer has a way with b.o.l.o.g.n.a, yellow mustard, layered with sour cream and onion chips. So good!
Fresh french bread slices drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, basalmic or red wine vinegar, and salt. Love it!!!
That sounds delicious!
an old family favorite is Cheeze Whiz with Jam or Jelly. Nummy. my mother makes this wonderfull homemade grape jelly and it was always perfect for this type of sandwich, i still enjoy it and to my wifes suprise (she thinks it's disgusting) so do all of our own kids.
peanut butter and fried spam sandwiches are the bomb!!! i also like peanut butter and fried egg sandwiches
If I ate these sandwiches slathered in mayo, peanut butter, and other fatty/salty sauces/items I would gain so much weight.
I would throw up. LOL
White bread, mayo, bologna and watermelon.
You heard me.
It's incredible.
My favorite has to be peanut butter and spicy nacho doritos on white bread. If you happen to be out of bread, use the peanut butter as a dip! Been a favorite since I was a kid!
My grandma always made butter & sugar sandwiches...thought she was the only one. I also love cream cheese, chicken, & craisins on croissant.
Ooh! And I forgot to mention another solid option: Peanut butter and honey on a toasted English muffin – but here's the key – throw it into the microwave for exactly 11 seconds after its all put together – the peanut butter gets all nice and melty and its better than any dessert out there :) the only thing that could make it better is chocolate – but then it would be an actual dessert instead of a sandwich, wouldn't it? (I'm sure this would also work with almond butter if you've got a peanut allergy) :)
Ya, that sounds awesome. I like crunchy peanut butter and honey sammies. But the thought of doing it with a few melted milk chocolate chips in there and on an english muffin sounds like a great dessert!
ANY regular deli meat sandwich topped with Fritos! :) It's amazing! I usually go for turkey, lettuce, mushrooms and mustard – throw the Fritos on top and you get a lovely crunch – Delicious!!
No one has mentioned butter and white sugar sandwiches on white bread! My mom used to make these for us when we were little!
We used to do butter and sugar on rice, but never sammies. Wouldn't it soak too much in the bread?
Hot rice with warm milk, cinnamon-sugar and a pat of butter. We had that as a breakfast cereal when I was a kid.
wow...I used to think mustard, american cheese and lettuce on white bread was weird, but after reading some of these concoctions, I guess I'm not as weird as I thought! PB and tuna...omg that just sounds nasty lol...of course I can't imagine mayo with my PB either...to each their own I guess lol
"Buddy" Good quality white/Italian bread with room temp butter on both slices, add crispy french fries, salt & pepper. The hot fries melt the butter...mmmmmmmm.... :) Use the tastiest fresh white bread you can find.
Hot buttered toast thickly sprinkled with cocoa powder (poor man's pain au chocolat) – the cocoa powder melts into the butter – fantastic.
That sounds....incredible. Simple yet fancy. Thanks for the idea you extraterrestrial mother________.
Yes, that sounds wonderful! Thank you.
Whew! That does sound good. Gonna have to give that a shot.
My favorite: peanut butter, apricot preserves, banana slices, and Ruffles potato chips, pressed between two slices of white bread.
Chopped hard boiled egg mixed with canned chopped black olives mixed with a ton of Nalley's Mayo on Wonder bread. Grew up with these in my lunchbox. Nobody ever had seen these. Still crave every now and then.
my father's favorite sandwiches were: Dark, dark German rye bread, a very thin layer of Quark (spreadable Farmer's cheese) add a layer of finely ground, raw beef , covered in minced raw onion, with salt and pepper on it.....
the other one was a nice rye slice, covered in fresh tomato slices, add slices of nice runny stinkin' limburger cheese with some minced onion and salt and pepper ... omg the stench. Add a glass of nice cold beer.
He'd sit by himself in the dining room and just grin and eat it in solitude...
This may not be so odd but it sure is good....pnut butter & jelly (any kind) & then add a layer of crispy thin Lay's potato chips on soft white bread. Smooosh together so it sticks & enjoy! Satly-sweet goodness!
some of these sound delicious! here are a few of my regular favorites:
peant butter (peter pan smooth) + jalapeno slices on whole wheat bread slathered with mayo.
pimiento cheese (grated cheddar, mayo, pimientos, lots of tobasco sauce) on raisin bread. dunk in fire roasted tomato soup.
American Thanksgiving leftover special: turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, slather both sides of whole wheat with mayo. drool!
tuna salad (made with mayo and sweet pickle relish) and tomato slices on whole wheat bread slathered with mayo, of course.
PB&J with grape jelly on whole wheat bread slathered with mayo.
cucumber slices + cream cheese on white bread (peel the cukes, spread the cheese on both slices of bread).
dill pickle slices on whole wheat bread slathered with mayo.
My best friend used to eat peanut butter and munster cheese as part of her elementary school brown bag lunch...it's not too bad, but I do not think I would enjoy a whole sandwich like that.
Three slices of white bread. First layer, spread some mayo, not too much, then put some thin slices of tomato, then put some thin slices of avocado. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Top with another slice of bread.
Last layer, spread on some egg salad. No celery or anything on it. Just chopped hardboiled egg mixed with mayo and a bit of salt. Top with last slice of bread. Cut off the edges and slice in triangle shapes. Enjoy! These are called Triples in my country they are yummy!
oo yum that sounds delicious.. have to try that!
made that, had it at work today.... n loved it.. thank youuz
My father-in-law eats liverworst and grape jelly sandwiches.
multi-grain bread, mayo, granny smith sliced apples, sharp cheddar cheese and ruffels potato chips. Make sure you put a little mayo on both pieces of bread so the chips stick to it. Trust me, it's yummy!
My grandpa taught me about peanut butter with apple butter and maple syrup on toasted wheat bread. YUM. I am teaching my daughter about tuna salad with mayo, dijon and day-glo yellow mustard, diced dill pickles all mixed together with nacho cheese Doritos crunched in between the tuna salad and bread. My husband thinks we are nuts but it is soooo yummy!
My grandma made us peanut butter, miracle whip, sweet pickles (or bread & butter pickles) on white bread...just the best.
Second try here...My late father ate peanut butter and onion sandwiches. He was from the midwest, so maybe that's the source of the snack. As much as I adored him, the mell of those two things together makes me nauseous to this day.
I used to love chunky peanut butter and jack cheese, on whole grain bread. It was my backpacking staple. Too many calories for everyday eating.
I am amazed at how many people eat raw onions on sandwiches. Your breath must be awesome!!
Don't knock it. It's delicious. I've never considered NOT having raw onion on a sandwich, it just sounds so bland.
Chunky peanut butter, mayo, bacon and thick slices of sweet onion...now that's the best!
Cream cheese and liverwurst on toasted whole wheat. Best sandwich ever.
Delish!! I'd add onions.
My late father ate peanut butter and onion sandwiches. He was from the midwest, so maybe that's the source of the snack. As much as I adored him, the mell of those two things together makes me wretch to this day.
I used to love chunky peanut butter and jack cheese, on whole grain bread. It was my backpacking staple. Too many calories for everyday eating.
PB, banana and mayo. Mom started me on it. I like the PB crunchy.
toasted bread, peanut butter and tomato...FRESH tomatos from the garden only. Yummy.
Good grief. :-( My Australian friend is right; we Americans eat the most bizarre things (gag).
One word: Vegemite.
another word – marmite (and cheese, yum)
Toasted whole wheat w/ bacon and maple syrup
My favorite PB is two slices of white bread slathered with PB and then put two slices of bologna between.HMMMMMMMM-HMMM!! Don't knock it till you try it. You'll love it.
Forget the bread! Just roll it up!
BLT with PB! since I was a kid.......... yummm..
Tuna melt on cinnamon raisin bread with aged Cheddar is very good, especially when I have seaweed gomasio, a Japanese seasoning mix with dried fish roe and sesame seeds, to add to the tuna salad. My old college lunch staple when I had to rush was bologna on Wonder bread with mayo and a layer of potato chips or Fritos corn chips smashed firmly into the bread. The latter is something I haven't had in years, but the thought of it still makes my mouth water.
Peanut butter on one interior side of bread (wheatberry is great)
Miracle Whip on the other interior side of bread
Leftover spaghetti with meat sauce in between the two slices of bread...heaven in a sandwich! My dad started this sandwich back in the 70's and my son still carries it on. The nuttiness of the peanut butter, the sweetness of the Miracle Whip and the tanginess of the spaghetti sauce with the texture of the noodles...it's just one wild ride in the mouth!
You win. That's really revolting.
Come on Fiona, you'd have to take a bite before having an opinion. It does sound out there to me but I'd have to try it out of sheer curiosity. You never know!
Yup, I'm game!
Toasted whole wheat with butter, sliced tomatoes and slice green olives with the pimentos mmmm and you can add cheddar. With or without the cheese it is one of the best sandwiches EVER. Even whole wheat bread toasted with butter and tomatoes mmm that is delicious also. please try :)
That sounds good. I used to melt swiss cheese over slices of kosher dills and a thick slab of tomato. Kind of a similar sweet/sour thing going on there. I haven't had it in probably twenty years. Now I want one.
Peanut butter, lettuce and mayo. Yum.
Right on brother!
I have seen several post for PB, mirical whip, tomato, lettuce & onions. My favorite is all of these on a sandwich.
Wheat bread, red onions are the best.
Honey wheat bread, PNut butter on both slices, American cheese on one side, Potato Chips (or doritos) on the other. Crunchy, smooth, cheesey, pnut buttery goodness!
My friends swear my peanutbutter on BLTs. The bacon has to touch the peanutbutter though or it doesnt work. I havent tried it, but even the in-laws have converted!
Raw onion, rice, and ranch dressing on white bread. Ate 'em as a kid, then grew up.
My dad's favorite = peanut butter and tomatoes and with summer tomatoes, it's awesome.
My favorite wacky sandwich is grilled cheese with bacon, carmelized onions, and tomatoes.
Thanks for that as peanut butter and mayo 50 years a favorite, but to add onion and now a fresh garden tomato was a nice change. Tho even a store bought tomato would have worked.
Hmm cukes and the other ideas won't be found with the online recipes web sites, precious...
Your grilled cheese combo sounds great!
Sliced radishes on white bread! I haven't had it in decades, but it was one of my favorite sandwiches when I was a kid. Mom ate it, too, but she slathered the bread with butter.
I am with you on that one! I also grew up on radish and white bread sandwiches! Yum!
That's a French classic! Bread, radishes, butter, salt. Happy.
Grilled raisin bread with brie. Ham, mayo and chutney on sourdough...love chutney with ham or turkey!!!
http://www.inspiredhomecooking.com
brie makes everything better! mmmmmm that sounds delicious!
My Dad's favorite sandwich was peanut butter, bologna, american cheese, dill pickles and mustard. I never quite acquired a taste for it, but he thought it was the best!
The best wacky sandwich is... Tuna and bacon with lettuce and onions. Salt and pepper to taste. This was a sandwich that I was intorduced to while in college. It was my purple haze sandwich...(if you know what I mean). The sandiwich is good even without the "influence". lol
Two slices of bread, mayonaise, salt, pepper, and a HUGE pile of watercress. Mmm, brings out my inner herbivore...Watercress is also a great substitute in any sandwich where you'd use lettuce.
Peanut butter and brown sugar, with margarine or butter base, on white bread. Heavenly.
Grape jelly with cream cheese on white bread. My neighbor used to make these for me back in the 60's. I was in 1st grade and thought it was weird, I always expected peanut butter with my grape jelly, but that cream cheese with the grape jelly sure tastes good. Now I'm going to have to make one to enjoy an old childhood memory and my love of my neighbor.
Doritos sandwich: english muffin (toasted) add mayo and pepperjack cheese while it's still warm... add peppered turkey and some salsa verde doritos...YUUUUUMMMM!!!!!!! As for a tuna sandwich...toasted tuna all the way. Make it like you would a grilled cheese. use kraft singles. grill it up (tuna mixed with mayo and relish with the cheese on the bread) then when it's fresh off the grill put some mustard on it and possibly more pickles if you reaaaaaallly like pickles :) I do.
Ham, onion, feta cheese, oil and vinegar, sprinkle of black pepper, grilled on a panini press, on sourdough bread. I worked in a local cafe for a couple of years and ate most of my meals there. When we got sick of the usual all of us employees came up with some pretty interesting combinations in the kitchen! My current fav sandwich isn't all that weird – turkey, avocado, a little mayo on a toasted sesame seed bagel, and lots of sriracha!
A slice of French or Itailan bread, toasted in the oven, a slice of summer tomato, several strips of fried bacon, topped with a piece of Colby cheese and then put back in the oven till the cheese is bubbly! Totally awesome–sweet, salt, tangy. Best of all worlds!
When I was a kid, my German granny used to spread bacon grease on dark German rye bread and sprinkle with seasoned salt. I think she called it "fettebrot" or something like that. I wouldn't eat it now, but as I recall, it was pretty tasty!
Tuna with dill pickle (sour, not kosher) and add BBQ potato chips as you eat. Best ever!
I discovered Tuna and sour Dills in college- out to lunch with a teammate and she was preg and no one knew for sure yet but a select few, but there were rumors. She ordered tuna and pickles and had me gagging, some other teammates showed up and in a panic she grabbed my turkey and slide her tuna in front of me. I had to eat it, and it was delicious!
You can have my BBQ chips tho- all I need is salt and pepper and really good bread.
Peanut butter, mayonnaise and banana slices. manna from heaven
Our son created one–peanut butter, banana and jelly bean sandwiches. He loved it as much for the taste as for the fact that it grossed his classmates and teacher out so nicely! I can't remember if that was 4th or 6th grade. He survived it–he is 43 now.
Grilled cheese with grape jelly is awesome and another favorite is peanut butter with Kero (dark corn syrup) on a single peice of white bread folded in half with potato chips on the side :)
A bologna sandwich with white bread, mustard and potato chips. The combination takes me back to when things were more simple.
A toasted cinnamon-raisin bagel with sundried-tomato cream cheese. Got this to-go by accident (had ordered a differen bagel) but it was so good that I kept on getting this yummy combo at my local lunch place :-)
Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on cinnamon raisin toast. Oh my goodness, is that good. The saltiness of the bacon combined with the sweetness of the toast. I'm salivating right now just thinking about it. :9
Had a British wife who loved Bacon Drippings and Cucumber sandwiches or Bacon Drippings and Potato Chip Sandwiches
Peanut butter & green onions (table onions anyone?),
Mustard, Mayo, Bologna w/ thick layer of Sour Cream & Onion chips,
My personal favorite-
Mayo, Cheddar Chese, Dill pickle & Strawberry Jam
My grandmother ate sandwiches of cold canned baked beans and mayonnaise on white bread every day. Can't say they ever grew on me. I like peanut butter and Swiss cheese myself.
Peanut butter, mayonnaise, and banana. Awesome.
Peanut butter, honey, and tuna fish on an English muffin. It sounds nasty, but it's remarkably good. I made many for my friends and, while they thought it would be disgusting, many enjoyed it.
My father ate peanut butter and tomato on toast when I was a kid, great combo and doesnt really sound that weird compared to a lot of these combos
Bologna, mayo, yellow mustard, and american cheese slice (Kraft, preferably) on squishy white bread.
Or toasted white bread with peanut butter and cream cheese...also good on a plain toasted bagel!
I'm so hungry for a bologna sandwich right now...
peanut butter and sliced stuffed green olives – delicious
I am in my 1sr trimester of pregnancy and the thought of peanut butter and onions makes me throw up a little in my mouth. I like funky stuff but that may be one of the most disgusting things I could imagine.
So think about Tuna and pickles instead.
I always loved peanut butter and Cheetos sandwiches. The crunchy ones are the best to put on the sandwich, and you can't put them too long before you eat it because they'll get soggy. It's a nice change when you're getting sick of peanut butter!
American cheese, mustard and white bread perfect for dipping in hot chicken noodle soup.
i'm a grilled cheese (only velveeta will do) girl dunkin in my tomato soup. :)
I had my first Velveta mild mexican grilled cheese weekend before last and it was sooo good!
YUM! :) velveeta is horrid alone, but it makes the best melty cheese for all your cheesy needs.
Colby Cheese is the best for grilled cheese–all gooey. Provolony is best when you are a kid–you have contests to see who can stretch their halves of sandwich the farthest!
Yep tomato soup with a grilled cheese is a winner.
But any cheese will do for variety, add sweet pickle slices and side of ketchup.
Yes I will buy Velveeta for a try...
Peanut butter, mustard, and bologna on white bread.
My grandfather and my dad loved applebutter and liverwurst sandwiches (my grandpa was of German extraction and I think it must have been an Illinois thing). Apparently my mom tried them while she was pregnant with me and couldn't get enough. I refused to even try the combo on principle until last year, when, visiting my parents one weekend, decided I felt brave enough to give it a shot. And you know what? It was good!! The sweetness of the applebutter was a great contrast to the tang of the liverwurst.
liverwurst (otherwise known as braunschweiger – that's what i grew up calling it) is delicious!! spread it on some toasted wheat bread with a schmear of miracle whip. YUM!
The Garlic Nutbutter
Pumpernickle Bread with cream cheese on one slice and peanut butter on the other with pressed garlic.

Delicious
Genoa salami and mayo on raisin bread. I guarantee you'll love it!!!!!
peanut butter and footloop sandwiches. been eating them since preschool.
LOL! Really?? How old are you? Just curious.
Fresh mozzarella, sundried tomatos and artichoke hearts on an italian. It is absolutely the best if the mozzarella is just made and warm. Piccinninni's in Hoboken, NJ made them the best but they are long gone. I am on a quest to find good mozzarella since they closed.
That sounds wonderful! JJ would love that!
BLT sandwich with mayo and peanut butter on Wonder Bread. I grew up eating these wonderful sandwiches. Still love them.
Nabisco just announced their new Triple Double Oreo cookies. Now that's a sandwich!
My grandson's favorite is peanut butter and jelly and crunchy cheetos on white bread. For myself, I stick with peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips on toast.
Kathleen – one of my favorites is egg and cheese on toasted raisin bread! Sooooo good. I'm also a big fan of the peanut butter and bacon. If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right!
PB&J with Sliced Banana
Fried peanut butter sandwich with a tall glass of cold milk! Dip the sandwich in the milk, use a spoon to scrape the peanut butter off the bottom of the glass! Yum!
Toasted Cinnamin Raisin bread with sliced chicken (or turkey) and cream cheese, then add hot fried sliced apples!
This sounds heavenly. :)
"Edith Ann" (Lily Tomlin)Sandwhich:
2 slices of bread, one side with mustard the other with peanut butter- the mustard side has lettuce and pickles, salami, and cheese, little twisty things called pretzels, tuna fish, a black olive and some oatmeal she didnt eat at breakfast. The other side had little raisens from out a box, most of them fell on the floor, but most of them went on the sandwhich, then you smash both side together and place a dictionary on top and then feed it to your dog Buster.
I remember this skit for my preschool days watching sesame street and feeling bad for her because she sounded like she had a stuffy nose. LOL
And thats the truth PPPPFFFFFFFT*
My husband makes "Babci Pizza" – a depression era recipe from his Babci (Polish g'ma). Take white bread layer with american 'cheese' & a slice of tomato, smother in worcestershire sauce and broil until the cheese is bubbly
A former girlfriend's father would sit her suitors down for a sandwich made with hearty german rye bread, a 1/2 inch thick slice of white onion, slices of ripe limburger, and strong mustard. I actually loved it!
My favorite sandwich is what I like to call, a deluxe grilled cheese! Sourdough bread with havariti cheese, avocado, tomato and bacon! SO good!
Peanut butter, marshmellow fluff and banana is a very close second.
Bananas and mayonnaise on bread--or tomatoes and mayonnaise on bread-so good in the summer!!!
Try : peanut butter, banana, and mayo...yumm-o
White bread smeared with mayonnaise - that's all. (Gotta be Hellman's or Blue Plate, though.)
Northeast its Cains mayo straight or fresh garden tomatoes..
Porkasaurus, you are my hero! When I tell my friends I ate mayo sandwiches, they look at me funny!! I also ate mustard sandwiches and in high school grilled cheese with dill pickle slices on it!!!
Yezzzz, fresh white Wonder bread, mayo, and some really cold, crisp iceberg lettuce... is sooo good.
White American cheese, yellow mustard and Fritos on whole wheat. Cruchy, creamy and zesty all at once. Yum!
Imagine my delight to see I'm not the only one who loves peanut butter and bacon on toasted wheat bread sandwiches. My mom would make these and they are de-licous! Peanut butter and brown sugar on toasted wheat makes a good sandwich too.
1. Cream Cheese & Black Olive Sandwich 2. PB, J & CC (Peanut Butter, Jelly and Cream Cheese). If you can't tell, I really like cream cheese.
My favorite sandwich as a kid (and confess i still occassionally enjoy) is Bologna on white bread with mayo and Bosco. Called a "Boscologna"
I agree with you on Cream Cheese and black olives–on squishy white bread–fantastic! One of my favourites–and can be made to look elelgant by rolling the bread up like a jelly roal and cutting off little circles of it.
Another variant: Cream cheese, walnuts and alfalfa sprouts on toasted wheatberry bread.
my family fav. is cream cheese and green olives. So yummy
In 2004 in Amsterdam, I stumbled upon a sandwich counter devoted entirely to grilled cheese and its many possible variations. Let me just say that grilled cheese with banana slices in it is *phenomenal.* However, I have never attempted to recreate it, since it probably wouldn't approach that level of perfection. :)

Have you tried a grilled cheese on raisin bread? Sounds awful and tastes amazing! Raisin bread spread with butter and American cheese.
Colby Cheese on Czechoslovakian Raisn Bread is the very best there is! The bread has golden raisins, honey and lemon peel in it! (It also makes incredible French toast!)
Peanut butter and bacon of a toasted french roll. Absolute freakin Nirvana!
Don't forget the grape jelly! That is waaay tasty.
