  • When all you've got left are condiments and bread, you make a #condiment #sandwich. I'm tasting the classics: ketchup, mustard, mayo, syrup, and a couple extra just because I'm curious. 🤓 Welcome back to Hard Times.

    Wow, this video brought tears to my eyes and so many memories. As a child I was oblivious to any hardships my mom would go through to get us through tough times as a single mom of 4 in an alien country, she made sure we never went without and never ever let on she struggled to make ends meet. I had always thought it was a treat or something new. As an adult now, I know better and it breaks my heart. I remember eating toast and sugar grilled in the oven or ketchup and cheese toast, she hid the struggles so well I grew up thinking nothing of it. When I look back it dawns on me and shreds me apart. I am nothing without her and I pray I can repay her for the life I have been given. Xox

      You have to butter the toast liberally, pour the cinnamon and sugar on one side, tip it so it slides across the butter surface, giving it just the right amount of dusting as the excess pours back into the Tupperware though! That's how you make it perfect 😋

    As a kid we grew up very poor and when we could round up enough change we would make fried bologna sandwiches with a slice of cheese. My recipe was two slices of white bread, one (or two if we had enough left over) slice(s) of fried crispy bologna, one slice of cheap processed cheese thrown on the bologna while it was still hot, then a good amount of mayo with a bit of mustard.
    Also cheap saltine crackers with a bit of mustard on top.

    I grew up food insecure, and have had most of these. Differences for what I had included was everything was off brand. The fact is it didn't matter what tasted better we only got on brand if a very good sale was going on.
    Another thing is I rarely used one condiment, but instead used 2 together. Like ketchup and mustard sandwiches.
    Also would have syrup sandwiches but with a bit of a twist. Aka I would close it like a sandwich, and then open it up again, turn one slice around and close it again to get as much syrup coverage as possible then pull them apart and wait a minute as the sugar in the syrup crystallized on the bread.
    It was one of my favorites cause a sweet treat helped things feel brighter.

    When growing up, the few times we had Dijon mustard in the fridge, I loved it on toast! Gotta make me one soon... It's so interesting how many of these things actually work on bread and taste good. Here in South Africa, I've heard so many stories of what people used to eat on bread. My grandpa told me that when he grew up in the middle of nowhere on a farm, they used to eat lard and sugar on bread and considered it cake! Doesn't sound at all appetizing, but it might not be terrible as so many of these gross-sounding sandwiches prove to be. I've had quite a few "strange" things on bread that I've liked. When there's nothing in the fridge, I'd go to the cabinets. Chutney on bread is actually yummy! Melted cheese and mayo, peanut butter and golden syrup... Recently my favourite has been just plain toast. Nothing on it, not even butter🤣

She had a bread maker so she preferred it on homemade white bread. Take nice size slices as big as would fit in the toaster. Brown the toast so it's all brown but not burnt. Butter the toast with a nice amount of butter. Then cut the toast into bite sized pieces. Warm some milk on the stove to where it's nice and warm. Place the toast in a bowl, pour milk over toast and add sugar to taste. This was what she ate for breakfast most mornings. You should try it. It's not to bad.

    The syrup sandwiches really brought back memories. We mixed it with margarine also. I grew up very poor and before the government gave poor people food stamps to help out.We were tickled to death to have the government surplus program . You stood in line for hours to get your "commodities" that consisted of powdered milk , powdered eggs, peanut butter, oatmeal , "government" cheese and that sort of thing. The peanut butter was really thick and hard to spread so we added syrup to it and stirred it up together to make it spreadable. This was a sandwich we ate often and took to school in our lunches much like you might eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We also took many, many cheese, mayo and lettuce sandwiches in our school lunches made from that government cheese. I was homeless for about a year and the free things at restaurants really do get you by. I got honey at KFC and used it and peanut butter to spread on the day old muffins I got for free at the Salvation Army. God Bless the Salvation Army, they do much more than anyone to help the homeless and those less fortunate.

    I was raised on my grandmother's cooking and it was usually pretty simple southern food. Sometimes she would throw together the quickest lunches and, to me, they were unbelievably delicious. On vacation once, she bought ingredients for banana & mayonnaise sandwiches (on white bread, of course). I crave that sandwich to this day. As a desert or for one of her famous "midnight snacks" she made a pear and mayonnaise 'salad'. The lettuce is a bed of iceberg (roughly torn into pieces) two or three canned, halved pears and in the center of the pear, a dollop of mayo or miracle whip. If using mayo, she would sprinkle a little sugar. Everything was topped with loads of shredded cheddar cheese. This recipe brings back so many good memories of childhood and I think its worth a try!

    I enjoy this series very much.
    My mom grew up very poor. She and her sister would make fried potato sandwiches.
    Leftover baked potatoes, sliced in circles and fried crisp in oil, salt and pepper,
    Fluffy white bread, mayo, mustard, ketchup, and pickles. They are fantastic!
    What was a memory of hard times for my mom ended up being a fond memory for me.

    When my sister and I were young and being raised by a single mother, we used to dip plain white bread into a pool of syrup on a plate. It was one of my favorite things to eat for dessert. I was shocked that Emmy liked that combination as any time I've mentioned syrup bread to others they're disgusted.
    We also had to come up with other inexpensive treats. Another favorite of ours was broken up chocolate graham crackers in a bowl with milk. Or with peanut butter spread on them. Bizarre but delicious and nostalgic.

    Mayo sandwiches were something else that my Dad and brother both enjoyed. I wasn't a big fan, but they both loved them. My brother is one of those people who put a LOT of mayo on things, so he made mayo sandwiches with a thick layer of mayo. I liked pineapple sandwiches, but I liked them a lot better with some peanut butter. Sometimes our school would have peanut butter and syrup sandwiches. It was pretty much the same as a peanut butter and jelly, but with syrup instead of jelly. Another unusual sandwich that my brother used to eat was a steak sauce sandwich. He would just put steak sauce on two slices of bread and make a sandwich out of it. He would also sometimes put steak sauce on toast.

    My parents grew up poor during the 40s. I think you covered all their favorites. Except for a different version of your toast with sugar and margarine. My dad would take white bread sugar sandwiches to school. Instead of toast, it was just white bread and granulated sugar. Apparently, the key was dripping a little water over the sugar. So that it would melt into the bread. It was quite the hit with grade school him.

    I had a few mustard sandwiches during my college years. My diet basically consisted of bread, bologna, mustard, hot dogs, and ramen. Instant ramen with a hot dog cut up into it was a gourmet meal in my dorm room. It's a miracle I'm still alive. hahaha

    Haha this reminds me of my dad! He grew up in the 40s so even when our family was well off enough I still got a LOT of hard times options. Spray butter, ketchup, or jelly sandwiches were childhood staples. Not to mention sending me to school with my food in a wonderbread bag instead of a lunchbox lol! Thanks for highlighting recipes from all walks of life and respecting the small joys that made surviving hard times that much easier.

My pantry is full of food and my bed is warm and soft. I'm so grateful for this life
