Maybe not too weird, but I'll take two pieces of wheat or multi-grain bread, toast them and then grill them on one side in a hot skillet with butter until nice and crispy. Stick them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to cool them. Then spread crunchy peanut butter and jam on the ungrilled sides while cold so the peanut butter doesn't get drippy and melted.

 

Makes for a crunchy "cold" grilled PBJ without the mess you'd get if it were hot. Makes slapping together of PBJ take a little longer, but well worth the wait if you dig the buttery crunchiness of a grilled sandwich.

Spam.

 

Also, potted meat spread on Ritz crackers.

 

Have friends that cover two pieces of bread with potted meat, slap em together and eat em as a sammich. Sometimes add a piece of cheese.

And you find this unusual? I call it...supper.

Deviled ham mixed with cream cheese and spread on Triscuits.

That sounds tasty

What's interesting is what one person thinks is weird is perfectly normal to someone else.

We all do agree that fried bologna with cheese on white bread with mayo is a staple, right?

It's not really weird food, but I used to eat in a cafeteria in the state office building where I worked in Mississippi. The women who made sandwiches to order never failed to ask customers if they wanted mayonnaise on both slices of bread and - I am not talking about lightly coating each slice either. It was slathered onto both slices of bread with a paddle.

Have not tried it, but sounds very staplish to me.

No on the bologna. Not in my house.

I've always heard that "the whiter the bread the sooner you're dead"

:lol2: Grew up on white bread. Never would go near anything else. Now I buy wheat everything--even wheat hamburger/hot dog buns. My kids never complain.

To me this isn't weird. To my wife, it's totally off the "yuck" charts. But, growing up (and my parents still, to this day) we got milk straight from the cow, so to speak. A local dairy farmer would allow us to come over every other day or so, and get a gallon or two of milk from the holding tank, before the dairy trucks came to pick it up. Whole milk from the grocery store can't hold a candle to what we drank. Every morning before breakfast, you'd have to shake or stir the pitcher the milk was in, because there was 3 to 4 INCHES of cream on top! (I still shake our milk, out of habit, even though my wife repeatedly reminds me I don't have to.) Very delicious! But, my wife thinks we're drinking Elmer's glue or something, because it's so thick.

I can't say that I would like it either as it sounds like it might only be enjoyed from an acquired taste, but I find your story extremely interesting.
