Yuck Sandwich Combinations

Not only sandwiches but lots of other things like beef stew, Sunday roasts and fish & chips a friend used to insist on strawberry (or raspberry) jam (jello) on them.

On the banana and brown sauce sandwich, above, perhaps it would help if I explained the circumstances. It was in the 1940s when food supplies were extremely short. We were very lucky one day to get bananas in the local shop and, never having seen one before I wasn't quite sure how it should be eaten. A friend suggested we slice it and make a sandwich. Not having eaten banana before, I found the taste very odd and quite unpleasant. Not wishing to waste it, considering its rarity, I hid the taste by covering it in brown sauce.

The 40s and bananas brings back memories of dried bananas. Mother occasionally bought them somewhere. We used to take them with us when we went hiking (boy scout stuff). They looked revolting. Likes small dark human faeces (no, not the faeces of a small dark human). However thet tasted superb. I was a bit disappointed when real bananas came back and the dried ones seemed to disappear.

If you have a home brew shop nearby, try there, we used to sell them when 'Er indoors ran such a shop.

We somehow didn't associate dried bananas with those yellow curved things that you had to unzip.

Similar, I suppose, to how we couldn't associate the iron that was so good for us in meat with the stuff that they built railings from (before the railings were cut off to supposedly make aircraft from!!!)

I never did see any cast iron bombers, unless they used to chuck the railings out as bombs :lol:
