****I used to like mustard sandwiches.****

Hey, me too.

Ever had a 'Bread, Butter and Sugar' sandwich when you were a kid? That was another 'po folk' food staple (at least in Chicago).

The darnedest thing is though, I didn't know we were poor :-)

Never had that, but my favorite dinner food growing up was pinto beans and cornbread, which should set our economic strata for you. LOL

Have you ever had a 'Wish Sammich'?

I have those every once in a while...having two pieces of bread and "wishing" you had something to put in between 'em ;)

OMG my grammy used to make my sister and I butter and sugar sandwiches and then those orange "circus peanuts" for a snack. Its a wonder neither of us ended up diabetics. LOL

Wonder Bread, butter and suger. One of the best. Almost as good as Peanut butter and sliced bananas.

How about a butter, sugar from Pixie Stix, Captain Crunch cereal sandwich--and a Coke to wash it down.

*grin*...Close, but I'm from the South, so I had my butter and sugar in a homemade biscuit. I liked 'em best when mother would poke a hole in the front edge and stuff the butter and sugar in there...didn't drip, or drop sugar as bad that way. : )

The Aussies went us one better on the butter & sugar sandwich idea. Their little kiddos munch on "Fairy Bread," which I think is just a delightfully festive idea.

It's just plain bread, spread with plain butter as usual, then sprinkled all over with colored nonpareils - they call them "100s and 1000s."
