In reply to the discussion: What was your favorite sandwich as a kid . Bologna , P & J, Grilled Cheese, egg salad or other? [View all]c-rational
(2,860 posts)31. A bacon sandwich- toasted Arnold's bread, lightly buttered with grape jelly on one side, and Heinz
Chilisauce on the other. Add 3-4 pieces of crisp bacon, and cut in two. Wonderful. Thank you Mom!
Note no more bacon for me, or meat in general.
