Sandwiches nobody eats anymore

Fluffernutters are still alive and kicking in an around Boston, the home of Fluff (actually Somerville).

  • Coronation Chicken
  • Olive Loaf
  • Chow Mein Sandwich
  • Fluffernutter
  • Banana and Mayonnaise
  • Finger Sandwiches
  • Mock Ham Salad
  • Hot Brown
  • Liverwurst Or Braunschweiger
  • Scotch Woodcock
  • Souper Burger
  • Sloppy Joes

My wife likes Pickle-and-pimento loaf.; I’ll eat it, but I prefer olive loaf.

Banana and mayonnaise? Heresy! Bananas go on a peanut butter sandwich!

We have sloppy joes fairly frequently. (“A sandwich is just a sandwich, bu a Manwich is a meal.”)

Liverwurst is good. Fluffernutters are too sweet. Finger sandwiches – why?

Right, but the original list was mock ham salad.

I’ve heard of peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches which, despite always having both ingredients available, I’ve never been tempted to try.

I’ve never heard of peanut butter-and-mayonnaise sandwiches.

We’ve got banana-and-mayo in the article. You mentioned peanut butter-and-mayo. We’re circling around the correct answer, which is peanut butter-and-banana sandwiches. Those are good.

I brought a fluffernutter to work several times. Attracted a few “WTF?” at first, but now it’s no big deal.

What is a “hot brown”?

It’s not hard to eat a Sloppy Joe politely. And even if it weren’t, what a truly weird limitation of “sandwich”.

My dad had a kind of deconstructed banana and mayo sandwich. He would mash up a banana on a plate and mix it with mayo then scoop it up with white bread. The rest of us were disgusted by this.

Delicious.

Which is what? We get “ham” salad from the turkey farm (made with turkey instead of ham). . It tastes way better than real ham salad for some reason.

Google is telling me about mock ham salad using bologna. What?!

I’m a little surprised. Are little triangular finger sandwiches – ham, turkey, roast beef, egg salad, etc. – uncommon in much of the US?

Almost every grocery store around here (SE Louisiana) has these on their catering menu. Scroll down about 1/3 of the way down the page to the “Sandwiches” section to see representative samples. Despite the “holiday catering” webpage title, finger sandwiches are common year-round.

Never heard of a hot brown. Doesn’t sound as good as a Thanksgiving sandwich – turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce.

I had no idea either. I’m hoping someone here has personal experience.

To me, a “finger sandwich” means nothing. Little sandwiches are simply “sliders”.

Ah, I’ve had turkey and cranberry sandwiches. That’s almost traditional. Stuffing is contra-indicated for a sandwich–I’d not put a bread product into a sandwich.

My wife would eat an olive loaf sandwich if I made one for her. I only buy olive loaf for a cold cut platter and when I make a Big Sandwich where half of it is American style and not all Italian style cold cuts. Surely I don’t have to explain what a Big Sandwich is, do I?

A Thanksgiving sandwich sorta requires some stuffing doesn’t it? There’ll be plenty of bread in the sandwich if you include a Moist Maker.

I don’t think that’s a sandwich nobody eats any more. And the King would say you’re missing the bacon.

oh my…I would absolutely destroy one of those!

Shoot, I hadn’t even noticed it on OP’s list. I was just thinking of stuff off along the edges in the deli case, by the jello mold things. The mock ham salad seems to be made with minced bologna which sounds fine to me, possibly even better than ham. We aren’t supposed to eat too much of them but I enjoy a lot of the cured, emulsified meats. Olive loaf, pickle loaf, fatty chunk loaf (mortadella), fatty chunk with pistachios (again).

Sure, but I don’t make a Thanksgiving sandwich, I make a turkey and cranberry sandwich. Which by coincidence happen to be readily available during the holidays.

They’re really really good. My wife and I spent a weekend in Louisville, and had it in our list. Most locals will steer you away from the source though - The Brown Hotel is an amazing old hotel, but the recipe is pretty stale these days, and their restaurant isn’t quite up to par. You can find a Hot Brown pretty much anywhere in town, and they’re all amazing.
