Salami and butter on white bread

My mother always buttered the white bread in our sandwiches, "to keep it from drying out." So the bologna sandwich didn't just have mustard, it had mustard & butter. The tuna or chicken salad sandwiches had mayo & butter. The PB&J had PBJ & butter. And there was my favorite, the fluffernutter & butter. Though I could have done without the butter.

Where did your mom grow up? My grandmother in northern Minnesota ALWAYS did that too!!

DD just finished the salami and butter sandwich I made her. Never thought this was weird.

Rhubarb from out back. Peeled it with our tiny fingers (can't remember if we washed it. Probably not) and then dipped it in little cups of sugar that we snuck out of the house.

sardines in mustard sauce

liverwurst

Fried rice with "egg hat" (scrambles eggs with a squirt of ketchup).

Still like them. Did not understand why other kids were horrified that I had smashed fish on my sandwich

I liked sardines on saltines as a child - smoked oysters, too. I have had the smoked oysters on saltines in recent years, but not sardines. May have to spool it up.

I get the salami sandwich at Paul and it is on baguette with butter. Nothing weird about it. Very french, in fact.

I am amazed at how many of mine are already listed here! White bread with butter and sugar - I had no idea that was such a "thing".

Also rhubarb dipped in sugar, suck on it like a lollipop! When it starts getting too sour, dip in the sugar again. Eventually it gets soft enough that you can chew on it. I tried to teach my son about this with our rhubarb plant, and he thought I was nuts.

As a kid I would suck on lemon wedges sprinkled with sugar and eat liver wurst sandwiches on white bread - can't touch the stuff as an adult.

Maybe add yellow mustard and potato chips. Not kidding. It was actually quite tasty!

I always did peanut butter and SWEET. Pickles. Actually I still do when we go camping.

I liked Lipton Cup o' Soup with slices of Kraft singles melted in.
