When I make a sandwich for myself,

[Ptah]

When I make a sandwich for myself, I wrap it in wax paper.

Even if I only wait fifteen minutes it tastes better.

I think it's a throw-back to my youth.

1. lol, little things

2. All kinds of sandwiches or just specific kinds?

[Ptah]

7. Sandwiches, not hamburgers or hot dogs or grinders.

3. I grew up with lunches wrapped in wax paper.

I know exactly what you mean.

6. My mom...

While she lived with us, wrapped everything, from the sandwich to the carrot sticks. The sandwich had a certain flavor to it that was lost when baggies showed up.

4. Orange marmalade and peanut butter

on white bread is what I forced to eat for 5 years and wax paper or not it was awful!!! Since my parents liked it I had no choice or voice in the matter. A sickly sweet, soggy blob ended up in the trash every day. No wonder I never weighed over 99 pounds until I was in 12th grade.

5. I have thought about doing that...

But never have. It did taste better than a plastic bag.

I wonder which is worse though, the plasticizers in the baggies or the petroleum based paraffin used on the waxed paper.

I'm going to try wrapping my sandwiches in waxed paper for a while just because.

8. My husband always wrapped his own sandwiches

in wax paper. I wondered if it was a throwback to his childhood. Whether it was or not, I found out they tasted better that way.

9. My mother used wax paper too.

I still have the memory of opening up my brown paper bag lunch and smelling the odor of baloney mixed with the smell of an orange.

In my mind I'm smelling it now and I'm back in my lunch room 55 or so years ago.

10. Agreed

I get the oversized sheets of checkered squares , 15"x15" I think, like they use in sandwich shops.

Wrap it up tight, put it in fridge for a few.

Just tastes better.
