wanna add this to your lunch menu?
Our neighbor’s 4 year old was over fighting playing with Kid today, and as they got hungrier, they began playing waiter-waitress, taking each other’s orders.
He asked for (and got) a cheese and cracker sandwich. I know you are imagining two crackers with a piece of cheese in between, like a sandwich. But you would be wrong.
He wanted layers of crackers interspersed with cheese slices all surrounded by a bread slice on the bottom and top. It was a tall sandwich. He really needed a step ladder to attack it, or an army boot to press it down like a panini. He merrily bit into the skyscraper of sandwiches and ate it straightfaced, humming along, like he has it every day at his house and what’s the deal with my weirdness over here in our loony tunes rat mouse hole at never having heard of such a thing, geez lady.
I kept looking and shaking my head as if I were that cat cartoon character who keeps getting the anvil smashed on him so he has spirals for eyeballs.
I mean, peanut butter, bananas and potato chip sandwich, I understand. But this….this would never fly in my mother’s house. There were way too many carbs and no fiber unless you count the extra stale and crunchy crusts of the bread.
The more I think about it, I’m kinda surprised he failed to request mayonnaise or marshmallow creme on the bread.
I guess we all had odd-ball sandwiches we ate as kids (never as grown-ups, of course…..), right?

Heck, I eat oddball sandwiches NOW. I don’t even want to think of the junk I put between bread slices when I was a kid.

I agree with Dorky Dad. I’m thinking I may have had something similar for dinner last week.

Any recipes you want to share?

Brings to mind all the times I’ve been in line (or on line, if I happen to be in New York) at a supermarket, evaluating the contents of another shopper’s cart and thinking: “Eewwww! They eat that!?”

The most oddball sandwich I ever had contained nothing but healthy vegetables and soy-based meat substitutes. How messed-up is that? Since when is a sandwich supposed to be GOOD for you?

Well, the advantage to all that cheese and very little fiber is less toilet paper usage for the next few days.
Oddball sandwiches…I like pickles and mustard on wheat from time to time. Or just a tomato and cheese sandwich. I once made one with peanut butter, honey, banana and Frosted Flakes. It was crunchy and messy.

Jenn, are these dill pickles, like whole? sliced? Kid has discovered bread and butter pickles and now she begs for pickles.
Your peanut butter one sounds yummmmmy!

I prefer the dill pickles, sliced. Preferably the Claussen ones that are sliced long-ways.
I love a good bread and butter pickle, and it’s SO hard to find a good one that’s not too sweet and not too mushy.
You should try the peanut butter one…I’ll bet the Kid would LOVE it!
