We went to a family party this weekend where the entrées were rigatoni and Italian beef sandwiches. Ben loves pasta—indeed, noodles of all kinds—but he was also drawn to the sandwich rolls beside the pot o' beef. He insisted on having his pasta in sandwich form, asked for seconds, and then had another pasta sandwich for breakfast the next day.
Pasta Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 sandwich roll
1 scoop of pasta with sauce
Assembly:
Spoon pasta onto roll. Serve.
------------------
Of course, there are many other sandwich options to suit every taste. As a kid, I liked a good ketchup sandwich: ketchup spread on white bread. A friend of mine reports eating mayonnaise sandwiches. And you can't beat the simplicity of a butter sandwich.
What's your favorite nontraditional sandwich?

It used to be a sugar sandwich...white bread, tons of butter, spoonfuls of white sugar. Now it would put me in a coma.
Tuna fish sandwich with sweet pickles. I'm not sure how non-traditional it actually is, but it sure seems to throw a lot of people for a loop.
Tuna? Salami? Pickles? Bleah. Sugar and butter? Now you're talking! I kinda have a hankering for the Mona sandwich right about now.
This sounds like a soup opera..."Ben was drawn to the sandwich rolls..."
Yes, I said soup opera. All this talk of sammiches makes me giddy.
My cousin made mayo ones but I prefer potato chip jobbies.
Favorite childhood sneaks:
-- Sugar sandwiches, without butter. Just white sugar on white bread.
-- Ketchup sandwiches. On white bread.
-- Mayo sandwiches. On white bread
-- Two pats of butter with a spoonful of PB and a squirt of honey between them.
*ponders thighs thoughtfully*
Wow, Krup—you're a condiment sandwich epicure!
My sister invented this delightful spread for graham crackers: margarine with brown sugar blended in. If we were tired of graham crackers, we could also just eat the margarine and brown sugar straight from the spoon.
I believe it was my grandma who introduced me to butter/peanut butter sandwiches.
Pumpernik's deli in Montreal had a tongue sandwich on potato pancakes instead of bread. Talk about rich!
I smuggled the pastrami version through customs for my mother when I came back to the States.
Jelly and butter on wheat bread!!
and I still say you need to try that American Chop Suey concoction we love 'round here.
Ben actually got to mine first! We used to have bread and butter with our spaghetti when I was growing up. We'd always put the spaghetti on the bread and enjoy. When I do it now, my husband won't watch! He doesn't know what he's missing.....
cucumber and mayo on white squishy bread. Peanut butter and banana. Cream cheese and olive. And of COURSE tuna with sweet pickles!
Yeah, my tastes aren't the most highbrow.
When I was living in Russia, my favorite supper was slightly-undercooked scrambled eggs with cheese spread on fresh bread, a Coke, and a cigarette.
Again with pondering the thighs.
I have to vote for the sugar ball sandwich...spread butter on the most unhealthy white bread you can find, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon and roll it into a ball. The trick is to use a lot of butter. Can you say, this broad grew up in a family who severly restricted sweet treats???? Yeah, that's what you get when you do that.
Just spread some ripe avocado topped with aioli between two pieces of country-style potato bread. Mm-mm.
I got nothin'.
A little nausea, actually...but that's all.
I just learned of the existence of the British sandwich called the chip butty: chips (fries) on bread with butter. How is it possible that this is not an American invention? HOW??
I like "hot mama" sandwiches. Take a hot mama and put her between two slices of assimilated negro.
or I guess I could go between two hot mama slices ...
any combo of hot mamas and the assimilated negro basically works.
hold the bread ... but bring on the condoments.
Peanut butter and Nutella. That's a friend's recipe, not mine, but she always loved it. I personally prefer crunchy peanut butter and grape jelly over anything else. Call me old-fashioned, I guess.
I got here from Maine's blog, in case you're wondering. I think I'm going to stick around, it seems pretty nice here. If you want me to, anyway. ;-)
Wow, who knew how many new commenters would be drawn by sandwich blogging? Come one, come all—but could you make me a sandwich, please?
Many old favourites listed. Peanut butter + butter, potato chips, fries, etc. My personal faves? Banana sarmie, beetroot sarmie, tomato sarmie - starting to see a pattern here?
Suezboo
i totally love mayonnaise sandwiches! i'm the only one who eats them in my family and among my friends, though.:)
I am so late for this conversation but when has that ever stopped me?
Peanut butter and sauerkraut. I'm not kidding.
