My Favorite Sandwich: Ditch Sandwich

Thanks, Julia. I'm not alone! I was 76 in December, so I, too, have strong memories of rationing. Our yardman would trade Mother his coffee coupons for our sugar ones! Cay

Hi Cay. That's a cute story and having grown up in Florida also, we too ate specialty sandwiches which contained raw onion. My favorite was Miracle Whip salad dressing on a cold homemade biscuit with a thin slice of raw onion and a thin slice of my father's sharp cheddar cheese. Yum-Yum. I'm wondering if people from other states also ate onion sandwiches, and how they were made. Surely onion sandwiches are not just a Florida "thing". LOL Could it be an "age" thing maybe? I was 72 in January and grew up during the days of WW2 when meat was rationed. We were not allowed to eat any kind of cold cuts during that time as my mother was afraid of what was in them. We also made specialty sandwiches using slices of whole dill pickles and Miracle Whip with peanut butter on one slice of the white bread. Funny thing about it, I still like both kinds of sandwiches. Onion and Dill Pickles.

Thanks for sharing.
