Bikermom writes:My Southern husband likes bananas mixed with peanut butter and mayonaise.
Your husband and my son must be related. My son has experimented with peanut butter. He's been known to eat it with Mayo, and even mustard. Both of which he pronounced good but I declined trying. But peanut butter and raisins is good, or sliced apple. (which brings us back to fruit and sandwhiches) But I must digress again to say I'm partial to peanut butter and chocolate chips.
My grandmother used to make peach sandwiches. She'd bring a jar of (home-canned) peaches and a loaf of bread on trips. Then she'd stop on the side of the road somewhere and make us lunch. Very squishy.

A favorite of mine is peanut butter on a sliced apple with some raisins sprinkled on top - they stick nicely to the peanut butter.

You can smell fruit markets in Malaysia from a hundred metres away if they have durians for sale. In bulk they do stink, but, as Bingley rightly points out, tunnelling into them is worth the effort, particularly if someone else does the tunnelling. They're banned as carry-on luggage from all the regional airlines flying into and out of Singapore ... Stink like civets, I like that. I must inform my Malaysian friends who all rave about them.

One of the best sandwiches I ever ate was raw scallop muscles on buttered bread, when out scalloping on Buzzards Bay, MA fifty years ago. It is hard work hauling in the dredges and sorting out the scallops from the stones, old shells, and other debris, so I was really hungry.When really fresh the muscle is pleasantly sweet.The ones in restaurants never taste that good.

 Your scallop story sounded mouth watering. However, more intersting would be the hard work you have endured hauling in those scallops and sorting out the stones?? Did you see "The Perfect Storm"? And if you did, did you think it was appropriately named???? jrj enthusiast

Your peach sandwiches bring memories of my grandmother too. She canned peaches and us kids used to love dunking homemade bread in the peach juice. Yum Yum!! enthusiast

A Singaporean friend at school held me in such high regard that he offered to share his durian sweet with me one day - a great honour apparently, right up there with receiving the sheep's eyes in the middle east.
The sweet was a tubular sort of thing wrapped in clear plastic - an almost hardened jelly that was pale to translucent yellow/white and sticky. Had a faint aroma of old sport socks and a pungent taste that would not go away - despite vast quantities of water.
I think the latin name for the fruit is excellent - and it's closed yet another loop for me.........I now know that when people say (when they've tasted something disgusting) "it's as bad as licking a cat's backside" - they're really referring to it having a taste as awful as that of a durian!!
