My little sister took nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to
school for lunch from kindergarten through third grade. Never would eat anything else. After third grade, she told my mom she was tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and never wanted to take another one to school for lunch. She wanted peanut butter and banana sandwiches. On the sandwich vein, my mom's younger (and only) brother took pineapple sandwiches for lunch when he worked his way through college in the 1940s. (this was in the deep south, and apparently pineapple sandwiches were popular -- maybe only among people who were not very well off; I have no idea, but I know they never had a lot of money). One day my gramma thought she would give him a treat and put a walnut or a pecan or some similar nut in the hole in the pineapple just for some variety. My uncle came home and got mad at my gramma for doing that without warning him, because he said when he bit into that nut, he thought he had broken a tooth! The next day in his lunch, he got a sandwich consisting of two slices of bread and a note saying, "Go buy your own lunch." Not Likely wrote: My son refused anything else for his sandwiches when he was in kindergarten... except sandwich spread (looks like relish mixed with mayonnaise... made by Heinz). I tried desperately to get him to take ANY other type of sandwich as I didn't want the teacher thinking that was all I ever fed my child. LOL He wouldn't hear of it, and only wanted the dorky sandwich spread sandwiches... for the ENTIRE year!!! Now... he won't touch the stuff.

Funny that you should mention the ketchup. My Mom loved the Sweet Mustard Pickles with both the boiled dinner & the bubble and squeak the next day... Pickles with Bubble and Squeak? I'll have to try that next time. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence. |

Pineapple and cheese is a popular sandwich filling here in NZ. As a child though I had the same thing everyday in my school lunch: 1 Marmite and 1 honey sandwich. Everyday, for 5 years - still love both. My granny used to make chocolate spread and crystalized ginger sandwiches - they were horrific! If I was lucky we'd be on a picnic and I could pick out the lumps of ginger and discard them behind a tree. VP |

Higs, Katherine I haven't had one of those for years. Back in the day, they were one of my favorite things to eat, slathered in Cheese Whiz (sp?) and then I'd squish them so the cheeses would come through the little holes in the busicut. (How sad is that, that I remember?!) These days I'm trying really hard to make healthier choices. Just bought myself four pounds of ground, organic elk: makes a wonderful chili and I'm planning on using it for a meatloaf as well. Yummy! Hugs, Murielle |

I think that it is us. :- ( no, it's not. corporate recipes have changed a lot over the years, mostly to their detriment. high fructose corn syrup has replaced sugar (get some Kosher Coke & compare it to common Coke. there's a big difference!) breakfast cereals are almost all sweetened (including Kix & Cheerios) manufacturers are always looking for cheaper & well, cheaper doesn't taste as good (usually because it's *not* as good). i could go into a huge diatribe about manufactured food, but i'll behave unless people want to know... one thing i do have to say though, is do NOT buy prepackaged meat (such as Wal-Mart sells). it is pumped full of CO2 (and frequently up to 12% saline solution to look moist) to make it look good for up to 28 days! it can be spoiled but look "fresh cut". meat should not have a 'shelf life'. if you have salt intake restrictions or are trying to avoid salt, the saline injected meat has almost 500 milligrams per 3 oz. serving. lee Lee, I would love to talk to you about some of this kind of thing as I'm trying to make healthier food choices and have a limited budget and it sounds like you really know your food-stuff.

Higs, Katherine We have a store here called Organic Planet and they carry all kinds of organic meat. I think they may also sell it in the Community Natural Foods stores, or at the Farmers' Markets.. I'd like to get some venison for stew but I'm going to have to hunt down a source. (Sorry about the pun.) If you enjoy game, elk is not as "gamey" tasting as venison. At least, I don't find it so. I also really enjoy bison burgers. ;-) Murielle Murielle |
