I have recipes from my great aunts, grandmothers and even great grandmothers. Many are really good. I don’t use those. Just as may are a bit weird if not down right crazy.
For all of you foodies, I would like to introduce a recipe from my great aunt who was quite the entertainer.
WARNING: Do not try this at home. But if you do, let me know how it turns out.
She called this little ditty the Backwoods Sandwich Loaf. I found it in her What to Serve Men section.
It starts with a loaf of unsliced bread. Cut lengthwise into 7 layers.
On the bottom layer, spread mayonnaise and cheese spread. Place bread layer on top.
On this layer spread tuna salad. Place bread layer on top.
On the next layer spread mayonnaise, tomato slices, salt, pepper and, you got it, next bread layer on top.
Next layer, egg salad. I think you’ve got the hang of the next bread layer …
Add mayonnaise and deviled ham.
Up until now you’re thinking – What up with you, Dee? It’s a little weird but still edible.
But wait, there’s more.
On the last later, add mayonnaise and peanut butter. Yikes.
Though I’ve laid eyes on this wonder, I’ve never tasted it. You wouldn’t catch me eating a cheese spread, tuna, egg, tomato, deviled ham, peanut butter sandwich.
Besides, it was served to the men in the wood paneled den.
And as a young female, I was served in the pale blue formal livingroom. We dined on Melon Americans or Frosted Sandwiches.
I don’t know where she came up with the names.
I can’t imagine all those flavors together. I wonder if one day it was all that was in the pantry and she thought to write it down because it didn’t come back to the kitchen? 😀 😀 😀

Don’t let Subway get this recipe. It might become a corporate secret like coke or KFC seasonings.

Brilliant, maybe I should offer to sell it to them.

I’ll eat most things , but I’m passing on this unless a couple of layers are removed.

No one’s been brave enough to try it yet. I’m hoping for a review on my recipe.
