    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.

    Never tried a sugar sandwich myself, I really should one day..

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

    I assume she is 99 on New Years Day, I was confused on that at first.

    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

    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

    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
