When I was in 4th grade I liked onion, butter and sugar sandwiches made with Wonder Bread. ---

> [@kferr](#): > > Black pudding and Nutella. OK, that’s the first one I’ve read so far that sounds like a legitimately bad combination of flavors. Pickled herring & nutella would be worse, but I can just about actually see somebody eating black pudding and nutella, but not pickled herring with it. ---

I’ve posted this before in another thread. I saw my ex eat pork & beans and potato chips on two pieces of bread. I thought the chips were kind of redundant. ---

Pork brains. Alton Brown ate at least two bites of a fried pork brain sandwich on camera for his series _Feasting on Asphalt_. ---

> [@FordTaurusSHO94](#): > > After making sandwiches for 5 years, I’ve decided only dirty people eat hot tuna or Reubens. It was admittedly years ago, but I made sandwiches for longer than that without such a conclusion. By hot tuna do you mean tuna melts? My first thought was that it would have to involve head cheese, olive loaf, or any of the other things from the dodgy end of the case. Invariably only ancient people ever ordered them. Usually with some unexpected combination of condiments. Never on sourdough with sprouts, though. One place I worked had on the board a chopped chicken liver and egg salad sandwich. It’s not as inherently awful as some of the combinations people here have come up with, but I hated making them. So squishy. Bleargh. ---

How about peanut butter (sugary American kind), tuna fish, ketchup and mayonnaise? Yeah, I know someone who ate that. Ewwwww. ---

Three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool. Arsenic sauce on the side, I think. ---

As a child, once I discovered the wonders of peanut butter and mayo, I assumed that their common mates - jelly and mustard - must logically also go well together. This logic quickly proved faulty. ---

> [@Das\_Glasperlenspiel](#): > > My father loved peanut butter and a couple of thick onion slices in a sandwich.:eek: While on the face of it, this sounds gross, I could see it tasting pretty good. I love peanut butter on everything bagels, and they’ve got plenty of onion flavor. My wife thinks its gross, and I was wary before trying it, but the flavors go together rather well. ---

> [@Prelude\_to\_Fascination](#): > > Pork brains. Alton Brown ate at least two bites of a fried pork brain sandwich on camera for his series _Feasting on Asphalt_. A brain sandwich is devine when prepared correctly. There is a local restaurant here in town called the Hilltop Inn that is famous for theirs. They sort or taste like a HUGE tenderloin. I like mine with onion & a little ketchup. ---

Pretty much any sandwich made with those \*-loaf “meats” in the deli case. You know…olive loaf, “Italian” loaf (look, putting some oregano in cheap bologna doesn’t make it Italian!), mac and cheese loaf (seriously, who the fuck is buying that?!), etc… ---
