What would you absolutely NOT put in a sandwich?

Beetroot, I can't stand it! My paternal grandmother, whom I also couldn't stand, used to insist I ate it as a kid when she made a salad!:mad:

Tongue heart or other organ meat. Because it sucks!

Still remember the day of cold tongue sandwiches or beef heart sandwiches. EXCELLENT! My Mother used to make terrific beef brains and eggs. In 50 years have never been able to convince my wife to make any. My wife also refuses to make me liver and onions.

You don't know what you're missing!!!!!
 
I cook tongue and liver and both would go in a sandwich. well the liver maybe as liver pate..

What wouldn't for me, cooked greens,baloney anything really salty.

I like homemade French fry sandwiches and potato chip sandwiches though
 
I still shudder that my mother put olive loaf on an occasional sandwich as a kid. That stuff was foul and I'd never put it on a sandwich.
 
Raw onions. Don't care for them, although I'll tolerate the very sweet Maui or Walla Wallas in season. I prefer my onions caramelized!

And I'm over the typical oversweetened jams/jellies. We found an artisanal brand produced by a young "back to the farm" couple and fell in love with their Blenheim apricot jam. Hardly any sugar and so soft, it actually can be poured (slowly). They have one of the only farms left in the CA Silicon Valley - that's right, a dozen apricot trees on a lot smack in the middle of the HQs of Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Google, and horrendous freeway traffic.

Not so long ago there were thousands of acres of orchards in the SV. Now it's mostly producing silicon, LOL.

Anyway, we like supporting them as a local vendor, but it's really spoiled us for commercial stiff-as-cement fruit-flavored sugar.

Oh, my. I couldn't exist without raw onions!!!! Green onions. Yellow or white onions. Love my onions. Wife likes them caramelized. I'll certainly eat my share that way also. Onions are the "spice of life"!!!!!
 
Limburger cheese. It's stinky and strong. My parents ate that all the time on dark bread with onions and I'd leave the kitchen when they did. Yuck!
 
Is. olive loaf that stuff that looks like baloney with bits in it..yuck.

Yes I agree chip sandwiches are far too full of carbs, it is an old comfort food from the war and still available in fish and chip shops in the UK..in a bun called a chip butty. If you were well off then you had the fried fish in the bun instead of the chips.

Marmite, well the ads say you will love it or hate it. I was weaned on it, on buttered toast .The secret is just the palest smear, too much and it is awful.

Was going to say the same thing, limburger cheese. My Dad would keep a chunk of it in the frig most of the time. My brother and I would dare each other to open the frig door and smell it.

hahaha....my dad knew we didn't like it and after slicing some, would chase us with it to try it. No way!
 
I don't like ham and cheese together in a sandwich. I think the cheese blows away the taste of the ham. I am not keen on salami or prosciutto ham in a sandwich either although I like both, the reason is because both are chewy so I am not keen on them in soft bread
 
Vegemite. No way. I am not hard to please but that stuff? Ugh.

Bologna. I'd have to be starving to ever eat bologna again. I had to eat way too much of that as a kid; my mother made ham salad with ground-up bologna.....I was an adult before I found out that most people actually used ham in ham salad. What a revelation!

I may have had a maniacal streak as a child. I did some wicked things to get revenge. My big sister took a ceramic I had worked on and was very proud of and stomped on it one day after we had an argument. I took some of that stinky cheese and very carefully opened up her pillow and put a big chunk in the middle and sewed the pillow closed again where you could not tell I had opened it. She would lie in the upper bunk saying " My stupid pillow stinks!" I would be in the lower bunk grinning. I might have been sort of evil :/
 
Meat or dairy. Because I don't eat either. Love sandwiches though.
