Haven't had one in years, though. Damn, I miss them...

[csziggy]

28. Still my favorite!

But I never had one as a kid.

My favorite sandwiches were peanut butter and mayo or lebanon bologna with mayo and mustard. Still have those on rare occasions but not very often.

7. BBQ Pork Banh Mi's. In the late 70's-80's these were the go to cheap eats in the SF Bay.

In East San Jose, you could get family sized Banh Mi’s for $2!

[dameatball]

23. Silver Ring? La Tropicana?.....:)

[ms liberty]

14. Grilled Cheese

Extra butter, extra crispy and melty.

Was also a big fan of toasted PB&J. Grape jelly, of course.

My favorite was tuna, but I usually got peanut butter & jelly.

[elleng]

18. Tuna, AND, Italian Hard Salami;

I'd trade ANYTHING for a Hard Salami sandwich!!!

[sanatanadharma]

19. I remember some, but a favorite?

Growing up was long in the past.
I expect the fruition far in the future.

I have a story from age 12 about a a search for tuna fish sandwiches when visiting cousins in Philadelphia.
I recall Dad would make sandwiches to take to work with odd innards; like leftover cold spaghetti & sauce or cold Boston baked-beans.
Peanut butter and onion is remembered and Reubens.

[surrealAmerican]

20. Pastrami ...

... on rye, but not at home - from the deli.

[mnhtnbb]

38. And hot.

[Generic Brad]

21. PBJ, American Cheese and Potato Chips

A close second was bologna, American Cheese and Miracle Whip.

[zanana1]

25. Butter and ketchup.

It was made with just one slice of bread. Butter next to the ketchup. My mother used to call it a "beurre".

[Raven]

26. Peanut butter and marshmallow. Yum!

[TexasBushwhacker]

37. AKA the Fluffernutter

39. Yes! Way back when I was eating it, they hadn't named it yet. And another one of my favorites was

butter and sugar on a slice of bread.

[TexasBushwhacker]

41. We made peanut butter and brown sugar sandwiches

It was a "recipe" from my Girl Scouts cookbook.

[Danmel]

27. NY Kosher deli hot pastrami on club with mustard

A sour pickle and a Dr. Brown's Cel-ray soda. And a potato knish.

35. Just to piss people off and make them argue about it I will say....

HOT DOG!

40. Baloney and miracle whip.

Nowadays it's those turkey and chicken "deli meats" from Oscar Meyer with miracle whip.

[Rhiannon12866]

42. When I was very little and my aunt babysat, we'd have tuna sandwiches and Coca Cola for lunch

They are still my favorites. And when I went to school, I brought peanut butter on raisin bread. Though I like egg salad a lot, too.
