Anything that could be put between two pieces of bread, especially lard.

My oh my, Slim.  I haven't had a good ole lardwich in years.

My stepsisters used to eat butter and sugar sandwiches. 

I'll stick to peanut butter and mayonnaise, thank you.

Ahhhh...  Peanut butter, mayo 'n turkey feathers on toasted white bread.  Takes me back to the college days.

I had a friend that was his favorite, he made me some when I was over at his house, but never developed a taste for it,
  just give me some tomatoes and mustard and some bread.  summer time favorite. or in the winter grape jelly sandwich, in my teenage years a triple decker.

You're truly disturbed. NO ONE eats white bread!

White bread is fine if it's homemade, but then who's eat that stuff from that you buy in the store anyway.  Who ever first said, "The greastest thing since pre-sliced bread was a durned fool."   BTW pre-sliced bread dates to the 1930's and is not period correct for any reason.

I know that white bread ain't good for you, but, in almost every southern BBQ joint they gonna give ya at least 2 slices of white bread for sopping up the left overs. and sause

OK, I'll concede to un-sliced, whole loaf, home-made, French or Italian.

Uberti or Pietta?

French and Italian are really the same, leave out the shortening and sugar.

Guess you don't want none of mine with the lard and brown sugar in it.



Would you except a samwhich of deer and Cheddar cheese on Swedish rye.

Stop Del!

 i  eat pre-sliced white bread.I dont eat home made food. I like foods i can count the calories. I eat 2150 callorie everday unless i make a mistake in my counting. I like to keep my self skinny i wear size 30 Old West pants.And if i wear modern pants i wear a 28 waist.So i must eat things i can count the callories with.I think i might try peanut butter and mayanaise on white bread some time that sounds good.

Did you want pie with yer bread Cammie?

My uncle used to tell me...  "The whiter the bread, the sooner dead."

He's still around though... so maybe...

White bread don't worry me, it's the chemicals they put in the boughten stuff.  Take some of that junk from the store and some homemade stuff sometine and put it in the cuboard and watch how quick the homemade molds and how long the boughten stuff takes.  About 4 days for the homemade and about two weeks or more for the other stuff, does that tell you anything?

BTW modern white flour has all the vitamans that whole wheat does and stone ground is no heathier for you unless you have problems pooping.
