    Ugh the thought of a sugar sandwich makes me wanna puke. Although I remember at one time I had a thing for lettuce and ketchup sambos.

    OH we did - except my parents stole all my First Holy Communion money and spent it before I got a chance to buy anything :( Oh hard times!

    I still haven't forgiven them, was so devastated although I'm sure they've made it up to me a thousand times over since then :D

    i use to think it was only the spanish nd mexicans in our school that ate them.
    always turned my stomach seeing them smear loads of butter on, and then pour so much sugar on aswel!

    Used to go on the lang from school and work as a caddy at a golf club, made 20squids in one day. Bought a bag full of sweets and favourite comic book back issues, at least 2-3 kept behind the shop counter for me.

    Spent days under a favourite spot/tree scoffing sweets and reading 'literature' till the school bus went by then went home. Happy days till I was caught and had to hand over the earnings. You have to love the Irish system. In England they would have put me in care for child labour issues and some kind of neglect type thingy.

    Nope, my mind is firmly out of the gutter on this one. Its a very serious isue after all. Sambos can be quite nice. Must start experimenting with them again, not much of a range nowadays. A nice chips n cheese sambo is great too.

    I used to work with a guy in my first real job all those years ago, who was about 55-60 years old and would eat sugar sambo's lol. Even for someone like me with a huge sweet tooth they were to much.

    Fraid not. Born bred and dragged up in Cabra 'till '78 when parents decided to move to pastures new. Never had those sambos once we moved. Don't know why, just didn't. Thought it was a Dublin thing TBH. ;):D

    Well Clonmel is a bit of a mini-Dublin. Hmmmmm. I like some strange combos. I won't share them. Oh I love potato scallops. I'd also like to try deep fried mars bar.
