I know food surveys are poof's domain, but this has been bothering me for weeks.

What do you put on the bread when you are making a lunchmeat sandwich? Butter, Mayo, Salad dressing, what?

I've always used Mayo, but my Mom and sister use Miracle whip (salad dressing). I'd never heard of butter going on bread that wasn't being toasted, but when my mother-in-law and her husband visit there is no way to keep the butter tray full with the amount they use for sandwiches!

I grew up in So. Idaho/North Utah. Mother-in-law is from Iowa.

So what do you use? Oh and to make this interesting if you could include your general region that you consider yourself from (not necessarily where you live now).

Depends on what else is going on! For turkey and chicken, I like mayo. Ham is good with mustard. I don't eat much roast beef. BLT's are good with either mayo or miracle whip, but I really do prefer mayo.

I don't know if it's a regional thing...I grew up in Colorado.

Thanks I forgot about mustard, my doula did that! I think it was with ham, interesting!

btw I did make a cheese and PB yesterday, needed to slice the cheese thinner so it melted more, but good. Not gonna eat it all the time, but it did break up the monotony!

I use real mayo or mustard, occassionally dijonaisse - never butter or catsup/ketchup.

Also depends on the type of bread.

Miracle Whip with fowl, mayo if it's unavailable. Mustard with ham or beef, spicy brown > yellow. I'm from the Pacific Northwest and/or Alaska.

That's awesome! I think you're the first person to actually try it. :D Most people just look at me strangely and tell me to stick to cookies. :D

Because corned beef is icky?

Ummm...

Spicy Pickle, maybe? The one in Fort Collins is fabulous, my sister speaks well of one in the Denver area, though I'm not sure which one. I've not had the corned beef (ick factor of about 7), but they make some good sandwiches and I've never been disappointed.

huh...I wonder if the Pickle has gone downhill--it was more than 10 years ago that I was last there and I know they've changed as they expanded. That gets lemon juice in the eye!

I think you can order corned beef from Zingermans...if you're desperate!

And what will you buy while you are there?

Foe the record, Gatzby, you still have not answered the question.

Almost always mayo for me. I hate mustard. I wouldn't use butter or Miracle Whip. I have used bbq sauce on roast beef before. On SubWay sandwiches, sometimes I get Ranch instead of mayo.

I live in the southeast.

On ham sandwiches, either hot or cold - butter on one side, mustard on the other. Occasionally mayonnaise.

Turkey - Miracle Whip - mounds of it.

Roast Beef - mustard.

Cold meat loaf - again, mounds of Miracle Whip.

Hot dogs - mustard and ketchup.

Hamburgers - if there's good tomato available, Miracle Whip. Otherwise, mustard and ketchup.

Edit: Butter also goes on cucumber and radish sandwiches. Mayonnaise on fresh chive sandwiches.

mostly mayo and/or mustard. ketchup on fried egg sammiches, but i guess nobody here's interested in fried egg sammiches.

Unless they have activated charcoal seat cushions.

I eat them all the time, but I fry them over easy and break the yolk on the bread/toast. Sometimes a very light coating of Miracle Whip.

Might I suggest chili chutney instead of ketchup?

Wow, it has been a while since I've had a triple fried egg chili chutney sandwich.

perfect!!!!

I prefer my egg sammies "dry". The egg provides plenty of moisture if it's cooked right.

Mayo on tuna fish, egg salad, chicken salad and turkey.

Mustard on all other sandwiches except a corned beef reuben...I have that the traditional way.

Live in PA.

I prefer salad dressing (mayo if miricle whip not available) on fowl. Bread lightly buttered on all meat or poultry. I don't like any other condiments.

Hmmm.... I mostly use Miracle Whip

turkey or chicken - Miracle Whip, sometimes Miracle whip AND spicy mustard, affectionately known as Grey Poopie

Ham - Miracle whip, sometimes yellow or spicy mustard

Roast beef - lots of Miracle whip

Tuna or chicken salad - usually, again, miracle whip.

I do occasionally use mayo, but I prefer Miracle whip

Hot Dogs - Mustard & sweet pickle relish

I never put ketchup on a sandwich. I don't ask for it on burgers, but won't scrape it off. I prefer mayo or miracle whip on those too.

I am...mayo, cheese, and salt on mine.
I slap the cheese on quick so it melts a little. :9

Along with the $10 you'd send him a meal too or at least cookies, wouldn't you? He has to survive on something while he's collecting money for his trip back home.

I'm very picky about what I eat though. I demand home made cookies. Oh, and you better wash your hands before you make them! :P

lplady wrote:G. contact your parents, see if they want you to get back home and will send you the money

Well, I'm living with my parents now, so I don't think they would want me back. I think they are trying to get rid of me.

I have people BEGGING for my home made cookies.

It would have to be a darned clever answer.

It would probably be easier to just move you in and keep you as a pet.

You won't be living far from me soon. Occasionally I'll come walk him to give you a break.

Ohhh...Sadly, plans have changed. I'll still be moving, eventually, but the destination is currently unknown. :/

Oh sorry. Do you have to ship your fish back to where you are now or can you wait till you get to your new location?

He's going to stay there for now. I don't have the space for him currently. If I do at my new, as yet to be decided place, I'll get him back.

That's good. Hope things work out and you get to a place where you'll really enjoy living.
