sorry no photo. Peanut butter and Bacon! To be more accurate, chunky peanut butter and bacon on white toast. Ok I really need to go to the store. ---

Pops Mercotan used to make those. He’d add raw onions too. This was back in the 60’s. ---

Hard, painful life lessons I’ve learned in college thus far: Just because you’re tired when you’re making your sandwich to bring to work with you does _not_ mean that plain, unflavored yogurt will taste the same as mayonnaise. Look the same at the ungodly hour of 7:30 AM? Yes. Taste the same at 1 PM? Very much _no_. American, provolone, and muenster cheese. With yogurt. Yech. ---

Sorry, but what **Zebra** described was mostly certainly a sammich, not a sandwich. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Sounds like Pops Mercotan was very much a 60s kinda guy, if you know what I mean. 😃 Nah, he was born and raised in the depression. After a childhood of fighting with 11 siblings to get food like pig brains, kidney sandwiches and brawn, he liked some simple recipes. ---

Peanut Butter: good. Toasted white bread: good. Bacon: _goooood_. All together: Not so good. Now, peanut butter & banana is actually really good stuff. ---

It’s all about the _Dragnet_: Peanut butter, cream cheese, with a little bit of garlic on pumpernickle bread. Now I’m drooling. ---

Nothing will beat the fried egg, chili sauce and chutney sandwhich from Red Dwarf. ] You have to eat it before the bread dissolves. ---

I have been known to make an open faced sammich with bread, peanut butter, and melted cheese (cheddar). Mmmmm… ---

Peanut butter and bacon is good! What I eat a lot of is peanut butter & serrano pepper sandwiches. Yum yum. Peanut butter is as much (if not moreso) a savory as it is a sweet. ---

I’ve held strong for years that two things will make _any_thing taste better: bacon and butter. So I imagine this new sammich of yours has to be good. Slap some giant gobs of butter on both sides of both slices of bread and toss it in a frying pan for a couple of minutes, and I’ll bet it’s even better. ---
