What is it they say about great minds...???
Then what is it they say about mere coincidence?
I agree about sandwiches, especially BLTs.
I have both Hellmans and Miracle Whip in my fridge
Mayonnaise is an ingrediant used in recipes. Miracle Whip is the ultimate condiment (well, that and Sciracha) used to make even the most bland sandwich into a delicious snack or meal!

The very best chocolate cake in the world is “Midnight Chocolate cake” made with mayonnaise. It is wonderfully moist and delicious, and you absolutely cannot tell it has mayo in it. It was a favorite during World War II when food was rationed and eggs were scarce. Inventive women figured out how to use the ingredients they COULD acquire to make their favorite recipes. The Mayo substituted for the eggs and butter. I have never had a chocolate cake to equal the old Midnight recipe.
My BIL brought home “tres leches” cakes a few times. This is not a cake that can be put in the fridge for a while, because it’s sort of a “wet cake”. It’s hard to explain but a fresh one is very very delicious.
Even better is PB and crisp bacon sandwich.... delicious.
A local donut shop sells a PB and bacon donut
My Late Mother told me that during the Depression one of the staples her Family lived on were Mayonnaise Sandwiches.
They made their own (eggs and oil) Mayonnaise and bought day old bread. I think it was actually two day old bread.
They had nothing, no Obama Phones, no EBT Cards and no Section 8 Housing. My Mother would take a bucket and wait in the Milk line with all the other poor folks in Brooklyn.
I grew up eating Mayonnaise Sandwiches, even after my Father started to make a good living. I still do once in a while. When I met my soon to be Wife, she was horrified when she saw me eat one. She ended up trying it and liking it.
I cringe when I hear a patron tell the worker at the Subway shop to “hold the mayo”. It’s like going to Tommy’s Burger and telling them to hold the Chile.
It is nonsensical to deny yourself the Nectar of the Gods.
I have had mayo sandwiches plenty of times (80’s), sometimes with beans, sometimes not. I have had tuna helper without the tuna too.
Miracle Whip is just Cains mayo with some sweet pickle juice added. It’s good in devised ham.
devised ham
lol
Noooooooo....yucky.
Damn autocorrect!
Gene & Judes on River Road (River Grover I think), doesn’t even carry ketchup. They refuse to have it in the store. You have to bring your own.
I’m from Chicago as well, and I hear people all the time tell me it’s a sin for a Chicagoan to put ketchup on a dog. Nonsense, most folks I know ketchup their dogs. Maybe not those in the new “gentrified” lake shore neighborhoods (the gays and liberals), but real Chi-towners put everything on a dog (sport peppers and celery salt too!)
Plush Pup in Des Plaines has the best dogs IMO.
Slotkowski’s (which used to be in old Jew-Town off Halstead, which for those who don’t know, was the black area in the Blues Brothers where Aretha Franklin worked, later tore down by Mayor Daley), would NOT serve a Chicago Polish with anything but mustard and grilled onions. Even if you asked for it plain, the guys would nod and you’d get one with mustard and grilled onions. Hilarious to watch people there at 2 am try and order custom Polish.
Ha...mine was the reverse...moved east and discovered hellmans was *best* brand. :-)
devised ham
I kind of like it actually
It might already be called Spam!
For me it has to be Hellmans or Best Foods. I have yet to find a substitute and I just turned 60.
My Wife grew up eating Refried Bean Sandwiches. Luckily, she doesn’t eat too many nowadays. LOL
SPAM is more bland that devised ham, which is tangy
SPAM is solid, devised ham is finely chopped
both have yummy gelatinous stuff (//sarc)
SPAM comes from Spickows, they are small square creatures with feathers and four legs and say “Mooink...bock”
devised ham comes from... angels
SPAM is great fried, stir fried, baked... even “raw”
devised ham, just put it in a sandwich with mayo
