Any “unique” sandwich ingredient combinations?

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Have you ever been made fun of for a sandwich you’ve created because the ingredient combinations don’t make sense at first glance? 

 

I’ve got several, which is why I ask...butter, peanut butter and honey was my first creation as a youngster, and I graduated to mayo, cheese & salsa (nuke it to melt the cheese, yum!!). There are more, but I want to hear from you! Needless to say my wife who is very anti-normal sandwiches, is constantly amazed at my creations, and not in a good way. I say don’t knock it till you’ve tried it ?

Peanut butter and cheese

 

Fried bologna with tomato, lettuce, mayo, and mustard 

 

Avocado with guacamole (think about that for a minute)

[WhoTom]

As a kid, I ate bologna-and-jelly sandwiches. I don't know what compelled me to make one in the first place, but for some reason I liked the combo. I probably stopped eating them when I decided against a life of celibacy. (Either that or I just realized that they're gross and I was only eating them because it raised eyebrows.)

 

Today, I like PB&Js, and if we have a bag of tortilla chips that are down to the crumbs, I'll sprinkle in a layer of those. They add a nice texture, and the saltiness enhances the flavor of the PB while it complements the sweetness of the jam. My wife thinks it's a little weird, but so far, so good in the no-celibacy department. ?

The first one sounds off, even by my out there standards, but I’m not judging. #2 sounds great!

A standard recipe from the Department of Redundancy Department.

 

Here's one of my favorites: Avocado on whole wheat toast with a slice of cheese, topped with Sriracha mayo. When they're in season, throw on a slice of garden-fresh beefsteak tomato.

Chips in a sandwich is pretty common.  Putting the chip crumbs in a sandwich is genius!

Not so much the sandwiches, but the garnishes.  Italian dressing, peppercorn ranch, vinaigrette all can take a blasé burger or cold cut sandwich and give it an edge.

Similar to mine

Slaw works so well on many sammiches. Try a vinegar slaw rather than typical mayo some time.

Not unique, but people usually look at me sideways when i eat toasted tomato sandwiches...

 

Sliced tomato, salt, pepper & mayo on toast... Mmm

Can’t say. Never kissed him after he ate one.

I don’t eat them anymore, but when I was a kid I used to enjoy peanut butter and jelly with iceberg lettuce and a slice of American cheese.  My parents swear that I didn’t learn about them from anyone...just made it up and rolled with it.

As a kid, Friday lunchtime was always fried Spam on fresh white bread.  Probably explains my Stage IV evaluation.  ?
