Sugar Sandwiches.........

I was talking to my mother the other day and she was telling me how after the war and with food being rationed, how parents wanted to "fatten their children up and treat them," when more food became available.

One of the things my mother remembered eating was sugar sandwiches.  Bread was buttered and sugar sprinkled over it.  She also remembers eating sandwiches of bread and butter with condensed milk spread over the buttered bread.

Once bananas became available, they would mash up a banana, sprinkle sugar over it and pour condensed or Carnation milk over it.  They would also mash up bananas to put in sandwiches as well.

Jam sandwiches were a staple, as my Nana made jam, bramble jelly was my favourite.  

Every night before she went to bed as a child, my Nana would crumble an OXO cube into a bowl, pour boiling water over it, mix it up and crumble in a slice of bread and my mam would eat that before bed.

I had never heard of sugar sandwiches, as we were never given them.  

Is this something you have heard of?
