They tell me that when I was real little, I used to call it "bread an barrer an ketchup togarr". Man, I was cute! I can still taste it. It was great, in fact, I think I will go have one right now.

Originally Posted By friendofdd I've never had a bacon grease sandwich, and would probably want to dip it in ketchup if I did. My mother used bacon grease to make gravy. She called it grease gravy and it was delicious. I think the common term for it is "red eye" gravy. Haven't had any since I was a kid.

Originally Posted By friendofdd Red-eye gravy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Red-eye gravy is a thin sauce often seen in the cuisine of the Southern United States. The gravy is made from the drippings of pan-fried country ham that has been mixed with water or black coffee, sometimes thickened with flour. It is often served over grits, biscuits, or chicken fried steak. A common practice is to dip the inner sides of a split biscuit into the gravy in order to add flavor and keep the biscuit from being too dry when a piece of country ham is added between the two halves: the Southern "ham biscuit." Another popular way to serve red-eye gravy, especially in parts of Alabama, is with mustard or ketchup mixed in with the gravy. Biscuits are then "sopped" in the gravy. In parts of the South, red-eye gravy is also used on grits.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Well bacon fat sandwich doesn't sound that different to fried bread. You see a traditional English breakfast or fry up consists of fried eggs (sunny side up), fried bacon, fried sausage, black (blood) pudding, fried mushrooms, baked beans, fried or stewed tomatoes, and fried bread (bread fried in the oil that cookeed everything). Most people have it with ketchup or brown (A1 Steak) sauce. Often served with a strong tea with milk in it. YUK! well the eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and beans are alright. And most brits think the sweet breakfasts - pancakes, waffles, sweet cereal etc. are gross. In fact, you should still see the look on people's faces when I have pancakes and sausage with syrup at McDonalds.

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka See, I'm picturing cold, solidified bacon grease being spread on white bread. Or maybe a thick slab of it instead of sandwich meat. That's just gross! Now melting some bacon grease in a pan and frying the bread in it sounds pretty tasty. (Unless you put Miracle Whip OR mayo on it.) LOL

I'm not sure I want to hear any more stories of fond childhood sandwich memories. That said, *my* earliest sandwich memories are of my mom making us a peanut butter, Miracle Whip, and lettuce sandwich and sitting in the big upholstered rocking chair together in front of the television and eating it while we watched her soap operas. I can clearly remember being really ticked off when I figured out that I was going to miss "As The World Turns" once I started kindergarten.

Originally Posted By Goofyernmost That kind of made me remember the peanut butter and sandwich spread (like Miracle Whip with sweet pickles) sandwich that I occasionally had for lunch. Not bad as I recall.
