    Yup, they were great when you were hungry and there was nothing else to eat.:)
    Besides, people tend to put sugar on banana sandwiches so it's really just a banana sandwich where someone nicked the banana, better than just bread on it's own.

    We had prairie sandwiches - bread, butter and wide open spaces.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    My dad said he used to eat biscuit sandwiches, marietta ones I think.
    Never tried a sugar sandwich myself, I really should one day..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭KingOfFairview


    I used to get dry sticks of spaghetti, wet them, and dip them into sugar and eat them.... I had a very deprived childhood

    Cheers for the memories.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 10,661 ✭✭✭✭John Mason

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23

    ah the good old days! kids today are missing out ;)

    If we had no bread mam would just mash a banana on a plate, sprinkle sugar over it and if we were lucky we got a cherry on top, cos ye know bananas, sugar and a cherry go so well together :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Never had Sugar sandwiches but I have had tomato ketchup sandiwches and peanut butter and jam sandwiched!

    I actually still eat peanutbutter and jam sandwiches :o

    Just for the protien of course :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭KingOfFairview


    Speaking of breathtakingly unhealthy meals, anyone remember those Desperate Dan chew bars, or Dennis the menace bars? they used to pull the teeth out of your head and were so sweet you could see through time

    dan bars were awesome tbh, and roy rovers.... Yum


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Sugar sandwiches, used to love them. I also used to love crushing up a bowl of rice krispies with sugar with my spoon until I created dust and would then eat the dusty treat. No idea why I did that, but it was well before Little Britain.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,067 ✭✭✭FunkyChicken


    Never had it on untoasted bread, that sounds manky. My fav was brown soda bread with butter and brown sauce. Bleedin delish.

    My dad does digestive biscuit sandwiches occassionally (yuk) and used to do 2 digestives with nutella in the middle. Has also been known to use digestives with icecream when there were no wafers in the house, like 1 biscuit halved with a big chunk of vanilla in the middle.
    He has a stomach like a horse :D

    Sugar sandwiches were everywhere when I was a kid.
    Our local dentist probably got his new Merc because of that.

    Then traded in for a new one cos of Desperate Dan bars


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 488 ✭✭ellenmelon


    when i was wee, we had hundreds and thousands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprinkles ....the rainbow coloured ones) sandwiches. when it's one slice of bread without a topper, it's fairy bread. a staple kids party food :D

    Toast and brown sauce. But not Chef brown sauce. I prefer YR.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,333 ✭✭✭tampopo


    Yeah, back in the day we had the sugar sandwiches. Also salad cream sandwiches.

    Used to bring biscuit sandwiches to work for me lunch, and apple sandwiches. One time I had mince sandwiches: Minced meat, fried and leftover from the dinner, between two slices of bread. With the odd pea.

    Rich tea or Mariettas with butter IMO.

    I also used to like Frostie sandwiches with butter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 ccc1sec


    We buttered one slice, sprinkled it with the sugar and put it under the grill,mmmm, the sugar melted into the butter and went hard, it was like toffee, only not as sticky. :p

    Yes. Preferably not the spread butter though.

    Tried a sugar sandwich there a few weeks ago, shattered memories.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet

    when I saw the thread title I assumed this was some sort of interracial threesome topic...


    "Fancy a sugar sandwich Cheryl?"
    "OK Ashley, but tell Wright-Phillips to shower first this time"

    Brown sauce sandwiches were staple in my house, once my bro and I ran away from home with a lunchbox filled with Kandee brown sauce sandwiches...figured we would not starve while we made our great escape. turns out they not so nice when not fresh and slightly warm..ugh....

    the next obsession was salad cream and lettuce sandwiches, or else just salad cream.... and sometimes cheese spead and salad cream on the crust of the bread.

    I must buy salad cream tonight not mmmmmmm:D

    Slightly premature happy -birthday to Starn's Granny. (If she lived in Dublin, she'd be on that Census website, and a copy/printout of the actual form would be a great present).
