> [@PapSett](#): > > 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. I believe that’s where AB had his–at least it sounds familiar, and I found it on YouTube (it is the Hilltop Inn–the sandwich is presented at about 1:30): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YYnL_nN7-tc/hqdefault.jpg "Hilltop Inn Brain Sandwich") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYnL_nN7-tc) ---

Peanut butter and jam. Put it on raisin bread and it’s completely inedible to me. ---

Have you watched Fear Factor before? My theory is that, you can make $hit, and someone will still eat it. ---

There’s a sandwich shop in Pittsburgh named Primanti Bors. whose claim to fame is they stuff french fries in deli sandwiches along with cole slaw. Cole slaw in the sandwich, I get, but stuffing fries in there just seems ludicrous. “Same as chips,” some will say, but I’m not listening. ---

While visiting my maternal grandfather (who I rarely saw), I witnessed him make a sandwich of white American sandwich bread, yellow mustard, and half a _large_ white onion (raw). Why yes, he did grow up dirt poor. How did you guess? ---

Yes I mean real sandwiches. My dad made “cannibal” sandwiches. Bread, raw hamburger, little salt and pepper. But those are good. And I eat hot tuna and Rubens! (not together) ---

I actually ate the worst sandwich imaginable. Back in the day I loved, loved, loved bologna sandwiches with miracle whip, yeah, kill me. I also did not pay much attention to details. So one day I’m eating my second fav sandwich (PPJ was and still is number one) and I mention to mrsin, “this tastes funny” He gets the :eek: look on his face and says “Uh, your bread is green” So I stop chewing and notice that, yes indeed the bread is green. Unfortunately, instead of tossing the green bread sandwich I looked closer. Turns out the bologna was tinged with BLUE too:eek::eek: Short story long, I have never eaten a bologna sandwich again. And we still, 20+ years later, advise each other not to eat green bread or blue meat.:smack: Hee. ---

We used to put our french fries into the thin crappy hamburgers served at our school cafeteria. It improved them greatly. Since then I have learned to add fried potatoes to burritos and soft tacos whenever possible. ---

> [@ultrafilter](#): > > A haggis sandwich has to be up there. I don’t think so. I once tried to invent the Spicy McHaggis sandwich (suggested by The Dropkick Murphys, but AFAIK never made). It didn’t work. It turned to slush. I have an idea of how to make it work, using batter instead of breading. I’m sure it will be good. ---

There’s a Hawaiian barbecue place near us that offers [“Spam musabi”](https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/more-spam-musubi-second-wave-144608565.html), consisting of “Spam and sweet soy sauce on sticky rice wrapped in seaweed”, which apparently you’d eat like a sandwich. I might try one if really hungry, but otherwise, why? ---

I once ate an entire marshmallow fluff and sardine sandwich on Russian Rye. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Because it’s delicious. I second this. Spam musubi is tasty. It’s like a sushi roll, but with spam instead of raw fish. Sometimes I get a craving for bologna and American cheese on squishy white bread with Miracle Whip. I class it up a little by using Martin’s potato bread instead of the cheapest possible white bread. If I’m feeling really nostalgic, I like to dip the sandwich in chicken noodle soup.
