Two slices of hope held together by optimism.
The only sandwich that comes with emotional seasoning.

When I was a little girl my brother and I each would take 1 slice of bread, spread ketchup on it then sprinkle gated parmigiana cheese on top then eat it open face and then wish we could have real pizza.

We Mexicans have our versions of this as well. Tortilla and a swipe of salsa
Butter and salt on a tortilla are acceptable as well.

Broken pasta anyone? I lived off noodles for awhile. Nothing wrong with where ya from. Or how rich or poor. We all been thru things and came here together for the love of figs. Happy to be part of it.

Our Russian version on this was a slice of dark rye bread, preferably a heel, rubbed with fresh clove of garlic and sprinkled with salt.

The funny thing is, sometimes I get a hunkering for it even now... like a smell of childhood, when joys were simpler and your imagination could conjure magic castles out of a card box

I'm worried that no one picked up on my Blues Brothers reference upthread!

In the future, you will just scoop the flesh out of ripe figs to spread on the 2 pieces of toasted bread.

And wish for meat no more!

I remember when we got married 47 years ago. We thought renting was just throwing money away even though we found a bargain. So we bought a cheap house on our 1st anniversary. 1979 and 12% interest and a recession. Getting to work about 24-36 hours a week. Barely able to buy food to eat after bills. But we made it through with God's help. Guess that's why we are still thrifty today.

Going on 72 years of age and still kicking, I remember PBJs being the go-to sandwich. A fancy sandwich back in the olden days was two slices of bread with mayo on one side and yellow mustard on the other - and composted meat - bologna. I prefer a good hoagie style Philly Cheese steak, but PBJs and bologna have not disappeared completely.

I use to make ketchup sandwiches as a kid.

Later on I graduated to toasted bread and mayo.
