Head cheese sandwich now thats good .

peppermeister--I'm still pretty much the only person at the radio station who eats sushi, so thanks for not giving them ammunition against the raw fish! Raw beef, well, that's different. ;)

First let me say that my paternal grandmother has a very strange idea of nutrition, which might explain why I'm not what you'd call "svelte."

Whenever she and my grandfather would babysit me, she would make me peanut butter and sugar sandwiches for lunch. Yes, you heard that right - PEANUT BUTTER AND SUGAR. And we're not talking powdered sugar here ... we're talking granulated sugar. First she'd spread peanut butter on one slice of bread, then she'd pour sugar on it and put a second slice on to try and keep it in place.

Unfortunately, the sugar would often try to sneak out of the sides, so she'd always make me eat it over the sink to catch the drop-off.

Surprisingly, my teeth never fell out and I didn't wind up with juvenile diabetes.

well I also liked, as a teen, eating macaroni with western dresing. I tried other french dressings but it wasn't the same, it has to be western! I think I'll try it again, I haven't eaten it in a long time!!

Hey, tiger meat-eaters!
The Dept of Ag, Trade and Consumer Protection just issued this news release specifically warning AGAINST tiger meat:

Be safe,

peanut butter and American cheese is good.. When I was a kid I would eat American cheese and lettuce sandwiches microwaved... Pretty awesome. I also like cream cheese on celery and pb&j on pancakes....

apparently my peanut butter banana and mayo sandwich is gross to some people. but I love it that way. of course when i was a kid I used to eat mustard and mayo sandwich and drink pickle juice with it. lol

If you grind it yourself and use it right away, it is safest. Rinse the meat with cold water before grinding. Bacteria tend to collect on the surface of cuts of meat. When you grind meat, you are increasing the surface exponentially. Large commercial ground meat producers add ice to the process to increase production. Sometimes the water in this ice is contaminated and that is where real trouble begins.

ihavealife: is it safer to eat raw ground chuck?? could I possibly be able to bring back my cannibal burger/tiger meat treat???? If anyone knows where/which kind of ground beef/chuck/sirloin, etc I could get with the lowest risk of contamination - let me know! :)

My favorites include a peanutbutter and sliced cheese sandwich or else a peanut butter and frito sandwich, but either way, you have to have some dorito's and sour cream and onion dip with it.

A lot of things, like ribs, were only consumed out of poverty. Ribs and other things were tossed out as uneatable.

What about a cold fried egg sandwich with mustard in your lunch bag?? And PIZZA BURGERS from back in the day - I think I have that and it has ground spam in it -- but it is delicious!!

My dad tells of walking to the one-room school with his lunch staple of lard sandwiches (yuck). Sounds completely unhealthy, though he's approaching 80.
He did get me hooked on liverwurst and mayo, however.
Peanut butter and banana sounds intriguing. Might have to try the radish sandwich; I know folks who enjoy them.
Calf brains? Peanut butter and mayo? Yuck.

This blog made me hungry. I like liverwurst and mircale whip sandwiches. My better half likes peanut butter, jelly and Velvetta and sometimes through a banana in it. Ick.

Does anyone have a recipe for pizza burgers as good as the ones we had in school?

If you're looking for Nutella, www.nutellausa.com has a store locator. On a trip to California, we went to a crepes shop that had a whole wall of giant Nutella jars. That was my introduction to it and I've been addicted ever since.

Nina: In my family, the raw burger treat you mentioned was called "tiger meat", and only the most daring uncles would eat it. :)

I dip french fries in my chocolate shakes....

My mom LOVES peanut butter and Pickle sandwiches! (ew) I like pb&j with crushed chips.

Have you ever tried cottage cheese on chili? It is AWESOME!

If you grow up in a Norwegian house lefse is a staple at the holidays along with fattiman bakkels, rosettes, klub. I was never into the lutefisk though.

Ketchup on eggs is nothing. I've seen my uncle put it on chocolate cake and ice cream.

You can buy Nutella at Woodmans. I think it's near the peanut butter section.

pizza burgers!! high school cafeteria favorite of the late 70's!!

Gilly... It's not the celery salt... It's CARAWAY SEED?!
My father and husband both LOVE this on cottage cheese,
Add some chunk pineapple and
Life is As Good As it Gets!!
Livin' large!!!

Another vote for open faced radish sandwich with butter n salt
(or ranch dressing in place of butter is great too)!
Weirdest eaten as a teen...
peanut butter, dill pickles, crushed potato chips,
and hersheys chocolate syrup on white bread. Still love it!!
No-- KID... this was not a "got the munchies" snack :)

What is nutella? Seriously, I must have missed school lunch that day. I've heard of it a few times but do not know what it is.
Can I buy it at the grocery store, or is it some home made concoction?

I don't do this one anymore because of health concerns that no one cared about in the 70s and 80s (e coli and the like!) but I LOVE raw seasoned beef (worcestshire, celery and onion salt, garlic, etc) with a slice of raw sweet onion on soft white bread or crackers! What I wouldn't give to have the guts to eat raw meat again...my cat loved them too!(minus the onion)
My mom and I used to love Braunschweiger and Miracle Whip (NOT mayo) with a crisp piece of lettuce - crumbles of old potato chips- on cheap white bread, AND my favorite side dish with it was Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter cereal (similar to Breakfast Club chick mentioned earlier!)

peanut butter, bananas, and pickle sandwich. YUM :) I also eat ketchup on scrambled eggs (the only way I will eat them unless they are fried with mayo on toasted bread). And ketchup on mac-n-cheese. Grosses my husband out everytime!
.
And, sounds odd (but not disgusting)... cottage cheese and Ruffle's potato chips. They have to be Ruffle's (or atleast wavy chips...not thin regular ol' potato chips).
.
The most disgusting thing I've ever tasted? MEATLOAF. I knew I was in trouble if we were having meatloaf for dinner! My poor dog probably had more meatloaf snuck to her than all of the dogs on our block combined!

Let's see, there's my heart attack waiting to happen known as "the good morning burger," in which I take a hamburger, scrambled eggs, bacon, syrup, and throw them between a cinnamon bread-flavored bagel. Delicious, but deadly.

I've done the peanut butter and nutella sandwich, and it was the heaviest thing ever. There was a brick in my gut. A delicious delicious brick.

Speaking of nutella, I also make "sex on a waffle," where you take a Belgian waffle, top with peanut butter, nutella, whip cream, and both maple and chocolate syrup. Amazing.

If you're pressed for cash, peanut shells are good.

Anyone remember bologna and potato chip sandwiches?

For calorie counters: Spread some jelly on a corn flake.

oreo cookies crumbled on bread - potato chips on buttered bread

mayo and banana sandwich, yum...

how about green onions and sliced radish sandwich, or plain ketchup sandwich. And when the Hobo's would come to the door my mother would tell them she didnt have anything and then they would say how about just a sugar sandwich. ah yes the good old days. I have to go and make some corn meal mush.

tugger, I assume you sleep in different rooms?

Two of my husbands favorite sandwiches:
Grilled Cheese with mayo and grape jelly

Liverwurst, Limberger cheese slice, raw onion slice dressed with horseradish and served on wheat bread.

There was a guy in Milwaukee a while back who had a similar problem with his refrigerator after a wild night out on the town. What? Too soon? I am reminded of the movie where Ally Sheedy takes a bologna sandwich, removes the sliced meat and throws it aside, and proceeds to prepare a sandwich with Captain Crunch (crunched) and Pixie Stix sprinkles.

Mmmm, liverwurst! Oh man, I wish I had some of that! I was just sent a block of Vermont Cabot Seriously Sharp cheese and boy would that ever taste yummy with some miracle whip! I'm hungry, can you tell? lol By the looks of it, we all are :)

Thanks a lot aames now I have to make a run to Sorgs to get some liver sausage.
By the way you have not lived until you get up with a hangover, open the frig and come face to face with a bowl of fresh pig brains.

Is liver sausage the same as liverwurst?
Yes, it is, but recipes very. Braunschweiger is also very similar except it usually contains some bacon for a bit of smoky flavor.

Is liver sausage the same as liverwurst?

If in Monroe stop down to Baumgartners for a Limburger cheese sandwich. If that isn't enough, try the "ancient" Swiss, it'll put hair on your chest. Also this time of year Lefse with butter and sugar is always a treat.

aames - next time you are in Monroe, go to Swiss Colony Outlet and get a chunk of Kemen Liver Sausage...none better.

I've never found it anywhere else.

my dad used to eat pancakes with peanut butter and over easy eggs sndwiched in between the pancakes! yuk, I never liked them but he does.

A rare treat...fishing guide's shore lunch...fried (in bacon grease) walleye filet with a slice of raw onion and bacon on bread.

Oh! This is a fun game. I dream of liver sausage. The best is on white bread with mayo, American cheese and raw onion.

I'm also a sucker for cold meatloaf sandwiches.

'Tis the season for turkey, mayo and cranberry sauce, along with as much Asian hot sauce as you can handle. Substitute horseradish or any other source of hotness you prefer. Substitute jam, preserves, etc., only if you're desperate and out of cranberry. *** Don't try this, or any other sandwich of substance, with bread of the Wonder variety.

Wow, this stuff sounds disgusting! I think the weirdest thing I eat is a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I'll try just about anything though.

Once when I was in Spain my host family made me ate pig snout, but they didn't tell me what it was until after I ate it. It wasn't too bad, but it was kind of rubbery.

My father used to eat Cheez Whiz with jelly (grape, strawberry or orange marmalade) on toast.
Ewwwww!

Peanut Butter, Mayo, bologna, and cheese on fresh white bread. Yummmm

Fried egg on bread with miracle whip, ketchup, cheddar cheese and salt and pepper :) Darn it, I'm out of eggs and bread! Time to go to Woodman's!

My dad puts bologna and jelly together. Ewww!

Open-face radish sandwich.
Sliced radish, butter and salt.
Yum!

This was not my sandwich, but rather my father's. He liked fried calf brains with hot mustard.
Honest.....
