Why is it that most of the "vile sandwiches" seem to involve peanut
butter in some way? My dirty little secret from when I was about ten
was that I briefly was into making peanut butter, pickle, olive and
baloney sandwiches. The peanut butter mainly functioned as mortar.
It was a phase that passed.
My mother's "vile sandwich" isn't so much vile as considered strange
by most people I know who have ever heard of it. She doesn't like
boiled ham that much (so one has to wonder why she eats it at all) so
to make ham sandwiches more palatable, she puts chocolate cupcakes in
them. The contrast in tastes/textures is interesting, but when she
packed me these sandwiches for lunch when I was in third grade, I got
very funny looks from other kids. My sister's solution to boring ham
and boloney sandwiches was to put potato chips in between the layers
of meat, producing a great deal of crunching with every bite.
