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

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

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

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.

ccc1sec · 05-12-2007 04:12PM

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.

Yes. Preferably not the spread butter though.

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

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

My 98 year old granny used to make these for me as a kid. She's has sadly gone a bit senile, and made me some a few weeks back. Taste great as a kid, Tasted Fvcking horrid as a 25 year old man.
She's 99 new years eve

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).

I remember my late mum making me sugar sandwiches in the early 70's when I was a tot.

It's AMAZING how much sugar we ate in the 70's and weren't like the current batch of hyper-hyperactive kids you see running around the isles of supermarkets.

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

Used to have the exact same thing as a kid! mmmm flashback....

That's because most of us got a slap if we were out of order.

Sugar and lettuce ftw, get a big leaf of lettuce, cup it in your hands, fill wit sugar, fold it up and munch away. Made eating lettuce palatable.

Old school Woppa bars as well, pity they feckin downsized the things. And who can forget the Giant chew bar, classic.

l3LoWnA · 05-12-2007 10:48PM

Th following were favourite dishes my mum like to prepare for us:-

Butter & Sugar Sandwiches
Biscuit Sandwiches
Banana & Sugar Sandwiches
Easy Single Cheese & Tomato Ketchup Sandwiches

God, kids were far more easily pleased back then.....although I have to say, my daughter won't take ANYTHING on a sandwich but loves a roll with just butter on it

So I'm lucky I guess, I haven't introduced choc spread or anything like that into her diet yet....

pretty-in-pink · 05-12-2007 10:52PM

Remeber when 50p would buy you enough sweets for the weekend- if not week!

Jaysus pretty, you were spolied rotten.

Those shiny golden 20p pieces were all I'd be given (or maybe 2x10p coins)and by god they'd stretch!

Remember when taytos were only 12p or something, cigarettes were £1.10 I think when I started smoking (for ten) and a pint was about £1.60, oh them were the days
