Yes, they still make Marshmallow Fluff, they still have the 
Fluffernutter recipe on the side, and I, too, was addicted to them in 
my pre-adolescence... but only while I was at my Aunt's house during 
the summers.  Otherwise, my dad thought it was vile and wouldn't buy 
it.  Of course, my aunt was the only one who bought Nutella, too...  
I used to "fix" fluffernutters by adding a little of that, too.

I think I mentioned before on this list (during an early food 
discussion) that I used to eat cotto salami rolled up into tubes with 
Cool Whip in the middles... it doesn't really qualify as a 
"sandwich", but it was pretty gross.  My dad used to make peanut 
butter and pickle sandwiches... which I always refused to try.  My 
daughter recently dug a Carr's croissant cracker into some whipped 
cream and loved the combo.  What a strange family I seem to be a 
member of.

Jen (who doesn't eat Marshmallow Fluff, Cool Whip or cotto salami 
anymore... they must have become associated with my semi-traumatic 
pre-adolescent period)
