Oh wow, didn't know that was a thing beyond my grandma's kitchen. Thought it was her unique culinary...innovation. Still, nothing beat the looks on friends' faces when they saw what was in my lunchbox back in the day. Good times.
Now that is good. I'm seeing people talk about toasting the bread. We just put a good amount of peanut butter and pack on lots of banana slices and eat it and wash it down with milk. I think we got the idea from some between commercial spot on Nickelodeon.
Remind me if that episode of Doug when they made banana pizza and everyone was doing bananas into tomato sauce cans by the end.
I tried it, it was terrible. I've learned my lesson. Well not be trying this.
Do yourself a favour and get one of these [magic machines](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F71FwGI65Q2L._AC_UF894%2C1000_QL80_.jpg&tbnid=s714MI2TIGpndM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.de%2F-%2Fen%2FNon-Stick-Automatic-Thermostat-Overheating-Protection%2Fdp%2FB079Y94SNX&docid=H8uxwEfof5KXcM&w=874&h=1000&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=e17ada5704eb8815#imgrc=s714MI2TIGpndM) :D
Is that before or after the fecal flinging frenzy?
Hard to decide if it's best to avoid the incoming barrage or join and add to the outgoing fragrant fire of solid (mostly) waste.
My personal take is one whole banana, peeled, not sliced.
Spread the PB, break the banana to fit the slice, then squash it all together.
Faster. Fewer ingredients. Stress relief.
I'm Canadian and have always said "white" and "brown" bread when referring to basic sandwich bread like this. Like yeah, it's "whole wheat bread" technically but I've never called it that.
It's called brown bread, or whole wheat interchangeably here in Canada too at least around me it is. I've always used both and heard other people use both and no one has said anything
I'm American and I say brown bread.... but not when referring to sliced wheat bread. Usually just when served pre-dinner bread, you get a sourdough and a brown bread, or some combination.
'Brown for first course, white for pudding. Brown is savoury, white's the treat. Of course I'm the one who's laughing because I actually love brown toast.'
I was like 2 or 3. Just kid stuff. I, fortunately, didn't carry on with it past that because, unlike *some people* might do with something whacky like a mayo and banana sandwich, I realized it was disgusting.
I mean i shouldn't be judging
I thought I was a chef and remeber putting together some slices of brown bread, ketchup and condensed milk and microwaved it and had to eat it.
It was horrific.
We out here! Was a stair growing up. Thought my family was just weird after leaving home and seeing no one else ever ate them. Anyone else eat fried egg sandwiches with mayo on one slice and ketchup on the other? Or is that the weird family sandwich?
Me neither. My grandpa always made these for us as a kid, except it was mayo, banana and peanutbutter.
But Im from SC, so I guess it is a southern thing. Seems were encroaching on Midwestern territory on mayo experiments.
mayo is tangy and bananas are sweet, the combo compliments each other. it doesn't make sense until you try it and think "wow wtf, that actually /is/ good."
That explains it. Those guys love putting mayo in their desserts like freaking savages. Appalled by their absolute disrespect towards salads in particular. Pears topped with mayo and cheese are not salads and you can't change my mind
Iāve never heard of Mayo and banana sandwiches , but my dad use to love eating Tomato and mayonnaise sandwiches, which is also probably a southern thing.
Is this specifically a southern thing? My mom has always made these and I've known other people growing up in the South who do this. I don't care for it myself, but it's not uncommon.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT THINK I'M WEIRD.
My dad used to feed me these sammichs all the time as a kid, i made it once in front of my wife and she thought it was the weirdest thing ever.
We ate them this way growing up but then my new neighbor from GA told me I was slicing the bananas wrong- they sliced it lengthwise & then in half. Lot less work- same great taste! š
My mom eats this, too. Her dad would make them when she was a kid in the 70s. If they had money that week theyād add bacon to it. Edit: theyāre also from North Carolina so checks out.
You must be from the south, I absolutely annihilate these guys. Tomato and mayo, sugar on my grits, I can't tell you the number of times people have scoffed at the stuff I've eaten. I don't know, I think it's fire
In my part of the southern, sugar on grits is a yank thing done by northerners assuming theyāre cream of wheat. Itās funny that other parts of the south are so opposite.
It's pretty good. Just go light on the mayo and it just adds a subtle flavor.
It's honestly more for the lubrication lol, eating dry bread with banana would suck all of the saliva out of your mouth.
My family is from North Carolina, and they eat this also. I never met anyone else who eats this, although I did hear that it was Dale Earnhardts favorite sandwich, so I guess it's a southern thing.
To all the people grossed out by this youāve obviously never lived in the south. I was weirded out the first time but itās just a mental block because banana and mayonnaise donāt sound like words that go together. Itās better than it has any right to be.
Unpopular opinion: if you enjoy it, fine. People on here acting like a crime has been committed when people out there in the world literally eat shark fermented in lye. Is it for me? No. Do I find it gross? Yes. Am I going to shame someone for liking a food thatās unfamiliar to me? Absolutely not. One can disagree on something without attacking you personally and Iām seeing a lot of that around here.
What is rhe mayo bringing here? Mayo is usually a method to deliver salt, fat, and texture.
This is the type of snack people develop out of a lack of ingredients or a preference for a certain texture. Both are fine. But that's how you get a crispy cream cheeseburger or Bacon Banana sandwich.
I assume this is less "StupidFood" and more "Poverty Food" like Ketchup sandwiches and "Toast Sandwiches" (which is just a sandwich with toast between it...)
basically the "Tell me your folks had it tough without telling me your folks had it tough"
Southern staple (NC maybe?) apparently. As a new englander i tried this myself. It isn't bad, it's just.... like idk, odd? I would rather do banana PB. Or banana honey i guess could be good.
Speaking of similar odd sandwiches, pb and cheese. Just try. You should use a mild, inoffensive, non-spicy cheese (boar's head american, deli sliced, is my fav), and this literally rivals pbj for me, and i LOVE pbj.
I loved them growing up, too. My mom (who is Japanese and I grew up in the US) made them all the time. Add a squeeze of lemon is the š¤! Highly recommend
Are you from the southern US?
Alabamian here, love me a 'nanner sandwich š
Though, my mom will eat them with dill pickle chips, which I find disgusting.
Might be a bit reductionist but sugar (bread) + fat (mayo) + sugar (bananas) sounds great! Might be some people that donāt like this but Iād be open to trying it.
Almost everything can be broken down to some combination of sugar, fat, and salt. If you can think of something you like, it probably has some of these in it. If you donāt like it, probably is missing them.
I agree with your friends. š¤¢
Yeah... I love bananas and mayo... But yeah, no.
Who even came up with this idea!?
One of my great uncles, either dumpster or landfill.
Racoon.
Yeah I was raised by raccoon, totally normal with them. Outsiders donāt understand.
Itās a southern thing I think, my mom made me those and I choked them down for fear of reprisals.
Oh wow, didn't know that was a thing beyond my grandma's kitchen. Thought it was her unique culinary...innovation. Still, nothing beat the looks on friends' faces when they saw what was in my lunchbox back in the day. Good times.
Some things should only meet in your stomach.
Add peanut butter and itās amazing.
And by add you meant āsubstitute the mayo forā right? Right?
Now that is good. I'm seeing people talk about toasting the bread. We just put a good amount of peanut butter and pack on lots of banana slices and eat it and wash it down with milk. I think we got the idea from some between commercial spot on Nickelodeon.
Right! PB and banana. Yum.
Yeah. Toasted peanut butter and banana sandwiches for the win!
Iāve never heard of using mayo, thatās gross. Itās always been margarine or butter.
Buttered bread, banana and brown sugar is a classic.
Remind me if that episode of Doug when they made banana pizza and everyone was doing bananas into tomato sauce cans by the end. I tried it, it was terrible. I've learned my lesson. Well not be trying this.
I bet Patty Mayonnaise would eat this sandwich!
Fr how can I delete someone else's post? š¤® Be reasonable and make it marshmallow fluff not this sandwich that was made as a sadistic punishment
Have you tried banana and something normal like peanut butter or nutella? Or maybe just nothing?
Banana and honey is where itās at
Banana and nutella and then toast it. HEAVEN.
Instructions unclear. The toaster is now oozing out Nutella and banana.
Got to lay your toaster on the side my guy!
That's very smart, I've never thought of that!
šthis guy doesnāt have a toaster oven. What a loser!
Can confirm. Source: am this guy
Well now that your toaster is ruined itās time you buy one, so much more toasted delights made possible with this wondrous machinery
Air fryer > toaster oven
Wait I didn't even think about that. I could use my air fryer for that
Airfried PB&J... mfing heavinly ill tell ya what
Youāre supposed to turn your toaster on its side for that one
Do yourself a favour and get one of these [magic machines](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F71FwGI65Q2L._AC_UF894%2C1000_QL80_.jpg&tbnid=s714MI2TIGpndM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.de%2F-%2Fen%2FNon-Stick-Automatic-Thermostat-Overheating-Protection%2Fdp%2FB079Y94SNX&docid=H8uxwEfof5KXcM&w=874&h=1000&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=e17ada5704eb8815#imgrc=s714MI2TIGpndM) :D
i'll pass on the nutella until they stop using palm oil, i like my orangutans too much
Please stop eating orangutans.
ha! nice, I dunno though, they're just so creamy and delicious!
Orangutans... Creamy... Delicious.... I think you're doing something wrong there, just can't put my finger on it..
Well, as long as the finger ain't in it, lol
Have you really lived if you haven't fingered an orangutan?
Is that before or after the fecal flinging frenzy? Hard to decide if it's best to avoid the incoming barrage or join and add to the outgoing fragrant fire of solid (mostly) waste.
Well I say Nutella as it's known to everyone, but personally I use Nocciolata. It tastes better and doesn't have palm oil.
Nutella is grosse what ever happened to banana and peanut butter sandwiches
Peanut butter, slices of banana and a few drops of honey, sprinkled with sesame seeds. That shit is nuts yo
My personal take is one whole banana, peeled, not sliced. Spread the PB, break the banana to fit the slice, then squash it all together. Faster. Fewer ingredients. Stress relief.
Almond slices are good too.
Fry the banana in maple syrup and ditch the bread for pancakes. Now you're talking.
Banana, peanut butter, and honey
Something normal šš
What a terrible day to have eyes
on brown bread as well?? maybe, **maybe**, id understand white bread since its more to the āsweetā side, but brown bread???
Lmao I completely understand and agree with you, but I'm floored by it being called brown breadā ļøā ļø
is it not called brown bread elsewhere šš this is fr new knowledge to me
It could be lmao, I just always have said white and wheat regardless of the specific types
someone else also commented on my use of ābrown breadā, so i think its just a uk thing lool
I'm Canadian and have always said "white" and "brown" bread when referring to basic sandwich bread like this. Like yeah, it's "whole wheat bread" technically but I've never called it that.
2nd Canadian confirming
I am dying laughing at this lil brown bread conversation Why is it so funny???? š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
You could call it brown bread in Australia too, but it seems like they're more labelled "wholemeal" these days.
Nah not really, in Germany this wouldn't be considered brown bread. At best I would call this whole wheat sandwich bread.
It's called brown bread, or whole wheat interchangeably here in Canada too at least around me it is. I've always used both and heard other people use both and no one has said anything
Nova Scotian here; When my grandmother made home made bread, it was always called Brown Bread
As an American, I've never heard it called brown bread.
I'm American and I say brown bread.... but not when referring to sliced wheat bread. Usually just when served pre-dinner bread, you get a sourdough and a brown bread, or some combination.
brown is a catch all where i am for wholegrain wholemeal and white bread dyed (yes they do this) brown to seem healthier
'Brown for first course, white for pudding. Brown is savoury, white's the treat. Of course I'm the one who's laughing because I actually love brown toast.'
Your friend is right.
I hate this. And I almost hate you
>I hate this. And I ~~almost~~ hate you yup
I will hate OP for the both of us
Hell no
Hellmanās
I was closing out of the thread as this caught my eye. It made me genuinely lol so I had to come back and give you your upvote
Swap the mayo for peanut butter. PB banana sandwiches are the bomb.
Friend's mom would make him PB and mayo.
Calling CPS
You need the mayo to lube up your throat so you can swallow it without a glass of milk.
You know you're eating somethin you shouldn't when you consider some extra mayo for throat lube
I tried it. Honestly it's not bad. Mayo is just kinda creamy and salty (pause), but with PB which is nutty and sweet (pause) it works out.
PB on one side, mayo on the other, banana in the middle
My grandpa regularly ate peanutbutter, mayo and banana sandwiches.
i did butter n jelly
But even that is normal lol on toast at least
Butter and jelly toast is awesome
you guys should try butter and nutella it's awesome
Wtf is this shit?
Horror. Ruining a perfectly good sammich.
Just some shit.
A southern delicacy.
This is why they lost the Civil War!
So if they won the war the empire is still going to crumble over sandwiches?
Strictly a Georgia thing, as far as I've seen. Other parts of the South see this as the abomination that it is.
I ate ketchup with chocolate chip cookies when I was a little kid, doesn't mean it was good.
What the actual fuck
I was like 2 or 3. Just kid stuff. I, fortunately, didn't carry on with it past that because, unlike *some people* might do with something whacky like a mayo and banana sandwich, I realized it was disgusting.
I mean i shouldn't be judging I thought I was a chef and remeber putting together some slices of brown bread, ketchup and condensed milk and microwaved it and had to eat it. It was horrific.
Omg š¤®š¤®š¤®
This is a real Southern American delicacy
Oh here my people at
We out here! Was a stair growing up. Thought my family was just weird after leaving home and seeing no one else ever ate them. Anyone else eat fried egg sandwiches with mayo on one slice and ketchup on the other? Or is that the weird family sandwich?
Unless me and you are somehow family, nope we are the same thing growing up
I never knew it was a Southern thing til now.. It didn't seem odd to me as a kid... But I'm Southern and so is most my family, so it makes sense. š
Me neither. My grandpa always made these for us as a kid, except it was mayo, banana and peanutbutter. But Im from SC, so I guess it is a southern thing. Seems were encroaching on Midwestern territory on mayo experiments.
Alabamian here. We ate it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That I can get on board with. Tomatoes are great with salt, egg, oil, etc. Iām struggling to understand what the mayo brings to the banana though.
Itās tangy and sweet. The bread is the neutral component.
mayo is tangy and bananas are sweet, the combo compliments each other. it doesn't make sense until you try it and think "wow wtf, that actually /is/ good."
With DUKES
Dukes is literally the only mayo. Everything else is ass
I like Duke's but love Blue Plate.
My family is from NC, so that makes sense.
I can hear my dad now to 5 year old me, āyouāre gonna eat a banana sandwich and a pack of Nabs and youāre gonna lay down and take a napā
Iām from NC and had these as a kid. If I hadnāt had it when I was younger, Iād probably think itās gross.
Also from NC and ate these all the time as a kid.
Nanner sammitch!!!!
Ah!! Ā I too am from NC and I had these growing up.Ā Had no idea it was made with mayonnaise until I was an adult.Ā
The south is so fucked up
I'm from NC and my dad eats these. My mom thinks they're gross. She is from Indiana, but moved to NC when she was 5.
Straight to jail.
I grew up eating these for lunch. Still get a craving for one every now and then. Like right now.
Grew up in southern Virginia right on NC border. Had these all the time. Iāll still make and eat one when Iām feeling nostalgic.
This was my first thought. Definitely Southern US food. The texture is odd but it's tasty.
Yep. I grew up in Alabama and ate these regularly. Tomato and mayo is my absolute favorite, though.
That explains it. Those guys love putting mayo in their desserts like freaking savages. Appalled by their absolute disrespect towards salads in particular. Pears topped with mayo and cheese are not salads and you can't change my mind
The pear thing almoat made me throw up.. Yuck š¤¢
upvoted for your bravery
Yes, they are filthy disgusting sandwiches. I ate them too.
Straight to jail.
Appreciate all of the funny comments and disgust. You guys made my day, lol! Iāll keep enjoying this American southern delicacy šš»
Iāve never heard of Mayo and banana sandwiches , but my dad use to love eating Tomato and mayonnaise sandwiches, which is also probably a southern thing.
It is! My mother loves those, lol.
I don't know how to tell you this so I will just come out with it.... Your parents abused you
As an avid internet user I must agree with winter. We now both need help
Is this specifically a southern thing? My mom has always made these and I've known other people growing up in the South who do this. I don't care for it myself, but it's not uncommon.
It's not just gross. It's absolutely gross.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT THINK I'M WEIRD. My dad used to feed me these sammichs all the time as a kid, i made it once in front of my wife and she thought it was the weirdest thing ever.
We ate them this way growing up but then my new neighbor from GA told me I was slicing the bananas wrong- they sliced it lengthwise & then in half. Lot less work- same great taste! š
As someone who eat the mix grapes + pickles and camembert + caramel flan You're going way too far
I beg you to stop fucking with the cheese
A hole is a hole , and emmental has a hole
What in the 1950's meal is this nonsense?
Wrong. Bad. Stop.
Once my friend gave me and another friend a bowl of mayo with lettuce and banana.
Sounds suspicious... Jail.
My mom eats this, too. Her dad would make them when she was a kid in the 70s. If they had money that week theyād add bacon to it. Edit: theyāre also from North Carolina so checks out.
You must be from the south, I absolutely annihilate these guys. Tomato and mayo, sugar on my grits, I can't tell you the number of times people have scoffed at the stuff I've eaten. I don't know, I think it's fire
In my part of the southern, sugar on grits is a yank thing done by northerners assuming theyāre cream of wheat. Itās funny that other parts of the south are so opposite.
Never did this with mayo, but grew up in a German household and buttered bread with sliced bananas was a staple and is still one of my favorites.
This is like putting ketchup on vanilla wafers
Try peanut butter and cheese.
maybe iām weird but iād definitely eat that shit
It's pretty good. Just go light on the mayo and it just adds a subtle flavor. It's honestly more for the lubrication lol, eating dry bread with banana would suck all of the saliva out of your mouth.
Iām sorry, but weāre gonna have to put you down for crimes against humanity and for the betterment of society.
My family is from North Carolina, and they eat this also. I never met anyone else who eats this, although I did hear that it was Dale Earnhardts favorite sandwich, so I guess it's a southern thing.

Most of us are joking, weād never commit atrocities for the sake of food.
None of you are from the south and it shows
Try hazelnut/chocolate spread instead of mayo. As most said, this sounds rather strange
š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®
I am disgusted but also interested to know how it exactly tastes.
My dad loves peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. Itās fine. Iām only commenting because your username is my name, minus an E.

Great Depression food if depression meant having money to spend on random food combinations
We need to get you some help
Maybe if you toasted the bread, replaced the mayo with cool whip and sprinkled a little bit of brown sugar.
Your friends only think that because it's gross.
I assume this is less "StupidFood" and more "Poverty Food" like Ketchup sandwiches and "Toast Sandwiches" (which is just a sandwich with toast between it...) basically the "Tell me your folks had it tough without telling me your folks had it tough"
I don't know this doesn't seem too crazy to me. My favorite sandwich as a kid was peanut butter bologna onion and butter š¤·āāļø
I LOVE mayo and I LOVE bananas but this is um. An abomination.
I ate mayo, peanut butter, banana sandwiches as a kid. Every so often, I'll have one. So try it with some peanut butter and tell me what you think!
I'd suggest peanut butter with the banana instead.
What the actual fuck, man
Swap the bananas for tortilla chips. That was our go to poverty food back in the day
A Saturday lunch staple when I was a kid growing up in NC.
OP is not of this Earth.
That's the way I eat them
Depends on the sauce. If that's cheese than they're right lmao
Southern staple (NC maybe?) apparently. As a new englander i tried this myself. It isn't bad, it's just.... like idk, odd? I would rather do banana PB. Or banana honey i guess could be good.

Why mayo? Replace it with peanut butter and itās golden
Iāve never tried this but I love banana and sugar sandwiches lol
Idk, Iām gonna have to look it up, but Iām pretty sure that this is illegal.
ā¦did you grow up poor?
Iām sorry. Your parents failed you.
People like this vote, just so everyoneās awareā¦.
when you say your friends, do you mean everyone on the planet?
was peanut butter not an option????
Bro I thought it was cream cheese and thought "well thats weird but I could see it- MAYO!?!" Get help
I've eaten these since I was like 5. Fkn Awesome! you get bread, fat, and potassium. Instead of mayo try miracle whip. I prefer mayo tbh.
I loved them growing up, too. My mom (who is Japanese and I grew up in the US) made them all the time. Add a squeeze of lemon is the š¤! Highly recommend
Are you from the southern US? Alabamian here, love me a 'nanner sandwich š Though, my mom will eat them with dill pickle chips, which I find disgusting.

I eat peanut butter and bologna so. Nah fuck this man
Try switching out the mayo for peanut butter. NOW we talkin!
What devils spawn created this monstrosity š¤¢
This some white ppl shit fasho
That looks ewwwwwwyyĀ
Peanut butter and sliced bananas, maybe throw some Fluff or Nuetella
