Hot friend egg on a piece of white toast smeared with crunchy peanut butter…
And the peanut butter would melt from the heat of the egg and run on the plate…
And the yolk and hot peanut butter would gush into your mouth when you take a bite…
I’m salivating!
Useta eat potato chips and saltine crackers on soft generic white bread. Best texture ever.
When I was a kid, I’d take a hot dog bun, poke semi-sweet chocolate chips in it, stick it in the microwave, then spread peanut butter and mayo on it once the chips had melted into the bread. It made a fabulous breakfast. So did scrambled egg, cinnamon & sugar between two slices of white bread.
I just want to pop in and say that it is comforting to know that I am not alone in my experiences with peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. ONLY Best Foods or Hellman’s Mayo (depending on what side of the Mississippi you’re on) is suitable for human consumption, no matter what you’re eating it with.
I do have to say that I have not indulged in a PB/mayo sandwich in many years.
From my childhood…
Unsalted butter spread on a piece of German sourdough or black bread, topped with slice tomatoes and chives. Very refreshing and light on a hot day.
Goose fat (that had been refrigerated) spread on a piece of German sourdough or black bread and then sprinkled with salt.
My sister loved, loved, loved, toast burnt to a crisp (totally black) spread with Miracle Whip. EEEEEEWWWWW
Fried egg sandwiches, with yolk all nice and soft between two pieces of butttered toast and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Preferrably strawberry or raspberry jelly and smooth peanut butter.
Kaitlin reminded me, I used to do peanut butter and potato chip sandwiches, yum.
Seems like most of the recipes here involve peanut butter… must be that uniquely oily-salty-sweet taste, goes with everything.
Peanut Butter, Jelly & Mayonnaise
Try it you’ll like it.
Zenster, Glad to see you and others like the PB and Mayo combo. I thought I was wierd.
Roast beef and coleslaw on a pumpernickel bagel.
In Spain potato omelets, called tortilla espanola, are very traditional. It’s also very common and traditional to make a sandwich with this on a baguette. It sounds like it would be flavorless, but they fry the potatoes and make the omelets in lots of good olive oil, and when the egg is a little runny, it’s delicious!
Peanut butter, strawberry jam and crushed Fritos on white bread.
We are a little known secret society with a cool handshake and everything. But ‘jelly’ will keep you from gaining membership in this lifetime.
I am the only one who was raised by generations of cream cheese and olive sandwich eaters? my grandmother would dice up green olives (with pimentoes of course!) then mash them in to the cream cheese and smear on white bread. mmmmmm.
and sweet lebanon bologna? kinda like thin, sweet salami? oh with miracle whip and a fresh tomatoe, pure heaven!
ChefGuy,
I am sorry to hear I am banned from the club.
I have seen some strange combos with PB & Mayo in this thread and did not think jelly was too extreme. We all know Peanut Butter & Jelly is a popular combination. Just add a little mayonnaise and it is improved.
EeClem,
My Mother still makes cream cheese and olives just as you describe. Tasty stuff, but I like it on spread on crackers rather than a sandwich. She also makes it with black olives which is also good.
OK … I don’t think this is weird, but my husband does. Toasted Tomato Sandwiches. Fresh red beefsteak-style tomatoes from someone’s garden or from the farmer’s market, still windowsill-warm if possible. Toasted Roman Meal or equivalent bread - must be wheatish. Tons and tons of Hellman’s/Bestfoods mayo. Little bit of salt. Lots of fresh ground black pepper and garlic powder. If I am feeling really frisky, I add dried oregano and basil. Yum. Orgasm on a plate.
Also … I will ONLY eat grilled cheese or tuna salad sandwiches on white bread. Is this weird?
Another nod for cream cheese and olive, but in my neck of the woods it is made with chopped black olives. I wasn’t thinking of it as “wierd” though, since there was an area ice-cream/sandwich shop that had it on the menu, with the added ingredient of salted almond slices (a tasty addition).
rockle Thanks for making me agonizingly hungry. I am 2500 miles away from my Mom’s tomato garden
[tangent] Why is Hellmans/BestFoods (among other products/fast-food chains) called something different depending on what part of the US you’re in? Some sort of conspiracy to confuse and upset people who relocate across more than one timezone? "Oh my God. They don’t have Best Foods…THEY DON’T HAVE BEST FOODS??? [/tangent]
Have to say that nacho cheese Doritos are the ultimate sandwich chip. I have many fond memories of piling them on a balogna sandwich with lots of mustard … mmm …
A sort of semi-sandwich, I also enjoyed Miracle Whip salad dressing on saltine crackers.
Zenster, I’ll have to admit, the PB & mayo is pretty tasty, but I prefer my PB with Marmite, on toast. Oh, what a treat!
I often wonder that myself. Best I can figure, two companies that were using the same mayo recipe merged into one, but they kept their “regional” names. Whenever I travel, I always write myself a note - “Bestfoods = Hellman’s” - just so I remember. Can’t make a proper sandwich with the wrong mayo!!
My mother, back in the day: white bread, day-old spagetti, a ton of mayo and potato chips.
Me, living with vegetarian, desperately finding something for a bag lunch: Whole grain bread, mango chutney, cheddar cheese.
The last one is STILL one of my all-time favorites. The former would be, if it didn’t yell BAD CHOLESTEROL! every time I made it.
Some of those sound very normal to me - the tuna salad, cream cheese & olive, Mooch’s roast turkey leftovers, toasted tomato, cheese & chutney. Yum. Also of course plain vegemite sandwiches are totally normal if you’re here rather than there or indeed over there where you’d go for marmite…
And now my nominations:
Grilled cheddar cheese on cinnamon raison bread (really good, honest)!!!
and…
Thinly sliced onion on wheat, with mayo and sprinkled liberally with parmesan cheese.
I swear, I am going to hardcopy this thread. My husband will be so surprised that I have learned to cook! 
I think someone mentioned these earlier – maybe with pecan pieces added.
My additions:
Prepare succotash. Chill. Mix with a little mayonnaise and dry mustard. Spread over a ham and butter sandwich. Add lettuce if you like.
Mix black olives, grated cheddar, mayonnaise, curry and chopped onions. Spread on bread and toast until cheese melts. This is so good that sometimes I just leave off the bread and eat it with a spoon!
I think I heard one of the Beatles refer to these as “jam buddies.”
Oh, yes! Grew up on 'em! I blend them all together before spreading on the bread. But the mayonnaise has to be Kraft. I don’t care which side of the river you live on.
