20 FORGOTTEN Sandwiches That Vanished From Your Family Table

[@WayBackAmericana]

Fried egg sandwiches were my go-to every summer as a kid, mainly as it was all I could cook. I’d make one almost every day-a fried egg, mayo, and whatever bread we had in the kitchen. What were yours?

At 1:45 ...I grew up in Texas, now live in Florida...I STILL eat pimento cheese sandwiches!!!! When I was stationed in Hawaii, I was shocked that there was no pimento cheese spread!!!

[@WayBackAmericana]

That's awesome! Pimento cheese is definitely a Southern staple. Glad you're keeping the tradition alive in Florida. Thanks for watching!

[@Hillers62]

At 4:36 ...The tenderloin sandwich was one of the best foods I bought at the Iowa State Fair!

[@WayBackAmericana]

That’s awesome! Iowa really knows how to make incredible food in general. What other fair foods did you love back then?

AWSOME SHOW.......

Hot dog sandwiches were always my favorite leftover, especially when they’d been barbecued the day before. They tasted even better the next day. I also loved 'chip-bologna' sandwiches-bologna, mayo, and a layer of Lay's chips inside. My dad used to make them all the time as a midnight snack.

[@WayBackAmericana]

Glad you liked the video! There’s something about those simple, nostalgic meals that just hit different. Thanks for sharing your memories!

One of very popular hamburger places has a "hot dog" with fried weiners, mustard, ketchup, and chopped onion and my very favorite sandwich.

Nice video!

When I was stationed in Hawaii, Spam was king!!!! A case of Spam was a welcomed wedding gift! And yes, Spam and pineapple is great!

[@WayBackAmericana]

That’s amazing! A case of Spam as a wedding gift is next level! Thanks for sharing!

[@daleupthegrove6396]

Fried Spam, grilled, in salads or just as is, Spam is king! And if you listen closely, somewhere you can hear Andrew Zimmern screaming.

[@WayBackAmericana]

@@daleupthegrove6396 Haha, you’re right! Spam really is king in all its forms. I’ve been enjoying it for years, and it’s still going strong. And I bet Andrew Zimmern’s reaction would be priceless! Thanks for the chuckle!

Once a year, my daughter has a fluffernutter. I used to make her one for Halloween. She still loves it. Pimento cheese is one og my favorite sandwiches I have a container of it in my fridge. It's most often found at showers and soup and sandwich events.

[@WayBackAmericana]

That’s so cool! I love that your daughter still enjoys her yearly fluffernutter-those traditions stick! Thanks for sharing!

[@ToadHallPub]

"Forgotten" is a misnomer. Sloppy Joe's are still around. You can still buy Manwich sauce. Egg salad sandwiches are sold in gas stations and grocery stores. I think sub sandwiches are still around, if that's what they serve at SUBway, Jimmy John's, Jersey Mike's, Wawa, ad infinitum. I pretty sure nobody has forgotten about GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES. This should have been a top 10 list.

[@WayBackAmericana]

Okay, fair enough! Some of these have stuck around, but not everyone is still reaching for Manwich or egg salad sandwiches at the gas station. Maybe I should’ve called it 'almost forgotten.' Thanks for watching, though!

[@brianazmy3156]

Never heard about the mayo and pb sandwich. All the rest are, and will always be found in my kitchen.

[@WayBackAmericana]

Yeah, the mayo and peanut butter sandwich is a bit of an oddball! But it’s great to hear the rest are regulars in your kitchen-those timeless favorites are hard to beat! Thanks for watching!

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

My mother and father grew up in the "Post-Depression Era." My father's favorite sandwich was "Fried Bologna w/Onions & Ketchup." My Ma's favorite was "Sliced Banana with Peanut Butter & Miracle Whip!" 🤮 Yes, us kids were fairly horrified! 😮

[@WayBackAmericana]

Those are some legendary combos! 😂 I can only imagine how you felt as kids! Thanks for sharing those unique family favorites!

[@Hillers62]

At 11:08 ..I was in the military for 27 years..SOS was a staple for midnight chow...SOS is "sh*t on a shingle"...and it was delicious!

[@WayBackAmericana]

SOS, or 'sh*t on a shingle,' definitely has its fans!

[@Hillers62]

At 8:15 ...Fried Spam sandwiches (on toasted bread) have NOT vanished...we still eat them here in the South...

[@WayBackAmericana]

Wait, really? Fried Spam sandwiches are still a thing in the South? That’s awesome-some classics never die!

[@EastSider48215]

Pimento cheese has made a comeback.

[@WayBackAmericana]

It’s great to see people appreciating it again. Some classics never really go out of style!

[@TheGemini5]

I love peanut butter, and I love mayo...NEVER together! Everything else is ok LOL!!

[@WayBackAmericana]

Haha, I don’t blame you-peanut butter and mayo is definitely a wild combo! Glad you enjoyed the rest though! Thanks for watching!

[@bigcue3168]

Good ol' 💩 on a shingle!!🤣🤣

[@WayBackAmericana]

Haha, a true classic! 😄 Thanks for watching and laughing along!

[@kathyclarke6327]

I think a lot of these concoctions were created by latchkey children coming home I’m trying to figure out a snack. A.k.a. me😂

[@WayBackAmericana]

Haha, totally! Latchkey kids were snack innovators for sure! 😂 What was your go-to creation back then? I'd love to hear more about everyone's 'kitchen experiments!' Thanks for watching!

[@courtneybrink3932]

Shout out to the best sandwiches: The Tenderloin Sandwich!!!

[@WayBackAmericana]

I might have to agree with you on that, but only when they’re made by my Dad. Man they’re good!

[@sjaatime]

Grilled cheese has faded away?

[@WayBackAmericana]

Alright, you caught me! Grilled cheese is still going strong, but hey, it’s fun to throw in a few classics for the nostalgia factor. Maybe 'semi-forgotten' would’ve been a better fit! Thanks for watching and keeping me on my toes!

[@Hillers62]

At 11:45 ...are you saying that grilled cheese sandwiches have vanished??? Really?

[@WayBackAmericana]

Not at all! Grilled cheese is definitely still around-just having some fun with the nostalgia. It’s one of those timeless classics!

[@Hillers62]

OK ...most of these sandwiches have not vanished...they are still popular...you should have listed sandwiches like the Limburger cheese sandwich, with onion on pumpernickel bread, VERY popular in the 1930's...

[@WayBackAmericana]

Fair point! A lot of these classics are still kicking. Limburger cheese with onion on pumpernickel sounds like a true blast from the past-definitely one for the history books!

[@seminex758]

They were forgotten because someone left the kitchen??? ... Hmmm

[@WayBackAmericana]

Haha, maybe that’s one way to look at it! Some of these dishes definitely didn’t stand the test of time, but they’re fun to remember. Thanks for watching!

[@jefferyjones8399]

Some of these sound downright nasty. Some of the 50s-70s abominations deserve to stay there. Tenderloins rule though. Also, sub sandwiches are everywhere still.

[@WayBackAmericana]

Totally get what you mean! Some of those retro dishes definitely aren’t for everyone, but they’re a fun look back at how tastes have changed. Tenderloins are a classic, and you're right-sub sandwiches are still going strong where I am! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@martin518441]

wtf is this ai generated slop , how is a grilled cheese obscure ? This feels so slapped together with a clickbait title I want the 10 minutes I wasted watching this back.

[@WayBackAmericana]

Sorry you feel that way! Definitely not AI generated-just having some fun with nostalgia. I get that grilled cheese isn’t exactly obscure, but the title was meant to spark a little curiosity. Appreciate you watching, even if it wasn’t your thing!
