In reply to:

"Sandwiches", I would think, typically have little to do with fruit


Have you never had a banana sandwich? A perennial favourite in our family when I was younger.

Mine too! When I was first married--a million years ago, we went to visit my ex's aunt and uncle who had just returned from a trip to europe. Uncle Irving had hundreds of pictures-- and one strange one was a menu board at a Cafe. The sandwich offerings where in ABC order, starting with avacodo, then banana...
Irving thought this was the wildest thing, and asked who ever heard of a banana sandwich-- all of my new family was shocked, when i replied I had, and they were my favorite summertime sandwich!

I like them on whole wheat bread, with lettuce and salt and black pepper. The cafe was in England somewhere-- and my parents are Irish-- so i know banana sandwichs are popular in England, Ireland, and now Indonasia-- and everywhere my family scattered, -- in NY, Denver, SF, Richmond (VA) and Tokyo--since we all enjoy banana sandwiches! (there are great with coffee-- the banana's creamy sweetness is wonderful with coffee's sharp bitterness. I drink both hot and ice coffee black)

I don't know about lettuce, salt, and black pepper, but I personally like them with peanut butter. A nice variation is to take a hot dog bun, put peanut butter inside, and then add the banana like a wiener. Mmm.

Wholewheat bread, certainly, but not pepper - crunchy brown sugar! NOW you're talking of a dish fit for a king (or a president, if you're a repubican)

Mind you, a good banana, like good wine, needs no bush!

Yummm Yumm---Bananas and avocadoes are the most perfect food for adults, babies and all in between. Great form of potassium. My Southern husband likes bananas mixed with peanut butter and mayonaise. I skip the mayo and just add fresh garden lettuce or head lettuce on whole wheat bread with crunchy peanut butter. And then the boys like bananas frozen on a stick and dipped in chocolate!!

Dear Jackie,
My experience with durians was in the Philippines where fully ripe durian were piled high ... and believe me the smell was NOT nice ... but then I do have a sensitive "smeller!"
wow

Our favourite as kids was banana and jam sandwiches - all kind of mushed up together - yum!

"Jammin' bananawich" sounds like there could be a market for this stuff. I have never heard of this combo, but I like to experiment with new and great sounding creations. I think that the kids will love this too and what another great way to get kids to get some vitamins in them. Yum Yum and Thanks
