#1 for me. Of course that was with homemade bread and homemade jam, but store bought peanut butter. I did like bologna though. We only had grilled cheese in school and I am pretty sure they left the plastic on the cheese.

 

[backlash]

As a kid number 1 then when I got older it would have been Number 2 with mayo not mustard or God forbid miracle whip. Never a number 3.
I worked with a guy from London. He came to work one day all fired up because his wife made their daughter a PB&J. He could not believe anyone would feed that to a kid. I told him American kids grow up on PB&J sandwiches. He still didn't think it was right.
I like BLT sandwiches, again with mayo only. I leave off the L&T unless the T came out of my garden, and add more bacon.

Ain't nothin' wrong with any of 'em.
All of us grew up strong and healthy on them.
Tested for decades. Proven to work.
Oh, photo thread, anybody eat dozens of these growing up?

 

[Amish Heart]

I'll eat all of them, but can't live without #1

I never had or saw any of those. We had breakfast and supper. Dad had roast rmoose or beef with horse radish. grinding horse radish was a time honored kid job that put me off it for life. I never took to peanut butter either when I tried it as an adult.

These days I like a toasted BLT.

 

[Peanut]

I love a good BLT in early summer... To me good means tomato so fresh from the garden the red never stops, as well as fresh cantaloupe from the next row over... Real mayo (I have to make some fresh mayo this summer)... and smoked thick slice bacon... drum roll... lots and lots of fresh cracked pepper, has to be fresh. I prefer Italian bread but regular ole white bread will do. At this point I don't even care about the lettuce.

Edit... made myself crave one just writing about it!!!

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

I couldn't manage even a speck of pepper. When I had my tonsils removed, my mother made me eat straight spoonfuls of cayenne powder. It was supposed to make me breath through my nose. I have zero tolerance for all things spicy. My brain says it is pain, not a taste.

My parents didn't win any parenting contests,

Is "Yes" an appropriate answer?

The only time I've turned up my nose at a BLT was a little Seaside restaurant in Oregon. They put MUSARD on it!!!

Ugh.. Miracle Whip is disgusting!
I grew up eating a lot of PB&J but I also had ham sandwiches with butter & lettuce. When I visited my uncle during the summer, his wife would make those & give me orange juice to drink with it.
My mom told me that on the first day of school, her mother asked her what she wanted for lunch & she wanted a bologna sandwich. Her mother then made that every day for lunch and refused to give her anything else even when she asked for something different. She did that for the rest of her years in school apparently-- so she would trade lunches with another girl who would get chicken salad & other types of sandwiches but the girl liked bologna better. My grandmother was a bit odd about food. LOL.
I just realized upon closer inspection that the diver in the pic was one of my father's diving buddies & not him- hard to tell with the mask & it's been a long time.

This was Dad & I with some catches we got on the Lucky Strike. Whoever took the pic wasn't great with cameras. LOL. I got seasick so my lips were red from throwing up. My friends joked about how being sick gave me some color to my face (I never wear makeup). I think the fish were marlon and mahi mahi. We sometimes caught wahoo. Captain Eads used to fillet the fish for us right on the docks so we could take the meat home and cook it. I think I was wearing one of my dad's old shirts in that pic.

And the truth shall set you free!

As long as we're discussing food..

Don't leave me alone with this..

I thought it was Brunswich Stew! Hubby said thats chili. Beans looked like corn to me.

It's party time! Nope... it's actually tincture time. The first nine months of last year I had health issues. I had some good days when I felt like harvesting medicinal plants but usually didn't have vodka to make a tincture and didn't feel like driving to buy some...

Not this year! There are about a dozen plants I want to add to my medicine stocks so I stopped at the liqueur store today. FYI... 80 proof vodka is 40% alcohol and 60% water. In the past when tincturing a plant with high moisture content I've had tinctures "sour" or go bad. It can happen when the alcohol content of a tincture drops below 40%.

Using Ever Clear (190 proof or 95% alcohol) I can mix it with distilled water and make a tincture with any water to alcohol ratio I want. I prefer to tincture really moist plants at around 120 proof, or 60% alcohol to 40% water. Tinctures almost never spoil with the alcohol content that high. There are a few plants that are best processed by boiling (tea) and then turned into a tincture by adding almost pure alcohol.

This year I'm starting out prepared! I have EverClear, 100 proof and 80 proof vodka.

I used to make these frequently. I haven't had one in a long time. I can make them from my food preps though.

Cayenne powder? OMG! I wonder where that idea came from.
Something just came to me. I had my tonsils out when I was six years old. I was a mouth breather before that. Aunts and cousins used to make fun of me about it. (Lovely people, not) I could never go under water with out getting water in my nose. I either have to wear nose plugs or hold my nose. Now I wonder if there is any relationship to the enlarged tonsils and water in the nose.

 

[Amish Heart]

I think so. I used to use a nose plug when swimming when I was little. Had my tonsils out later, when I was 12. Then I didn't need a nose plug. But I had my adenoids out, too.

#3, Ate a lot of those, with tomato soup, growing up. I actually bought some cheese for grilled cheese so I can make some. I have a bunch of tomato soup.

#1 I never liked peanut butter growing up. I remember being in the cafeteria in college and there was peanut butter. Some people were so excited. Not me. But I am over it, now. I like peanut butter, but I like it on toast with jelly.

#2. This is more like what I used to eat more as an adult.

But I am with some of you. My real preference for a sandwich is a BLT. But I like a Ruben sandwich as well. I usually buy corned beef for St. Patrick's Day, then I use the leftover meat in Ruben sandwiches.

 

[Weedygarden]

I wonder what people were eating because this is not a lot of food. Maybe that is why people were so much thinner back then.

 

[Amish Heart]

We do eat a lot more. I know our family eats too much cheese. But it's so good.

Oldest daughter brought me a few packages of beef jerky "just in case". She said she heard they were allowing Seniors in to the grocery stores early, but wasn't sure if I qualified or not.
