Sandwiches from your childhood.

Corned beef hash sandwiches on heavily buttered bread, mmmmm, delicious!!

As an impoverished student when the grant money had run out it was fried onion butties.

Sausage and orange marmalade for me.

I remember my Dad used to have condensed milk sandwiches.

Cheese and tomato ketchup have always been my favourite.
Does anyone else remember Marlon from "The Perishers", in the Mirror, and his "inch thick ketchup sandwiches".

 

[FishFright]

Apple sandwiches with a chunk of cheese on the side, I used to love those.

Beef dripping on toast

I loved beef dripping, big slices of white bread soaking it all up. I did the same thing with the bacon fat in the grill pan. Just think of the cholesterol!

On the crazy calories theme, my great uncle used to make some rather Elvis-esque sandwiches with me: two slices of thick white bread, butter, strawberry jam, then cut into 4 pieces and battered before being deep fried until the batter was golden and crispy and the jam had gone molten.

Dripping sandwiches - usually pork dripping in our house though! Or drip bread, as it was called. Even better if it was 'mucky dripping'
How could animal fat, spread thickly on white bread and blathered in salt possibly be bad for you?

I'm sensing a lot of love (or misplaced rose tinted specs) for Sandwich Spread, which I'd forgotten all about.

I've added a jar to next weeks shopping order - I just hope I don't regret it...

I remember my mother buying bread from the bakers; then the supermarket came (a tiny Tesco in the shopping arcade, with a couple of aisles and a checkout desk ) and it all went downhill from there.

I seem to have a protective amnesia about what was in her sandwiches.

A guy I used to work with who originally came from a rather deprived area of Hartlepool told me his mum used to give him, as a treat, pork fat sandwiches

 

[stalagmike]

KitKat - four fingers on white bread.

 

[Alan Frame]

Fried pigs liver, sliced cold in bread and butter with a lick of English mustard.

 

[Lonestar]

Sugar sandwich or mashed potato sandwich.

I couldn't eat a sugar sandwich now.I think it'd make me ill.

 

[growingvegetables]

I've "fond" (?) memories of a few mentioned. One filling missing so far - a tin of sardines mashed with hard-boiled eggs
