No, they’re kept for the tuna casserole. Silly. :wink:

A childhood staple was leftover meatloaf sammiches. Man, I got either stares of horror or glances of jealousy when I’d whip out one of them. I was one of “those” kids whose sammiches were wrapped up in waxed paper because the rye bread couldn’t fit into the sammich baggies made to fit only a slice of Wonder Bread. And my therapist wonders why I’m a mess now. I swear…

  1. A thick slice of last night’s meat loaf made by Mom. I’ve basically carried on her meatloaf tradition, so I get to enjoy this sammich to this day.

  2. Slathering amounts of Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise. No, Kraft Miracle Whip is not acceptable.

  3. One thin slice of tomato.

  4. A hunk of romaine lettuce.

  5. Dash of pepper.

  6. Use Liss’s Bakery marbled rye bread. Only available in Philly. ( Well, it was when I was a child, which was almost 400 years ago. They may have folded since then. Which would be a damned shame, IMHO. )

If making at home, lightly toast bread first. Down with cold glass of Nestle’s Quick, when I was a kid. Now, flavored water.

A plain bagel, a bit too much cream cheese, and bierwurst.

Or, sourdough bread from one of the local artisanal bakeries, cultured butter, and a few slices of the salami from Armandino Batali’s shop. (Armandino is Mario’s father.)

Cheese and vegemite.
