To be shocked that DP has never had a jam sandwich before?

[PawPatrolMakesMeDrink]

DP and myself took DS to the park this morning, having a little picnic watching the ducks. Jam sarnies and fruit. Lovely.
DP comes out with the statement that he’s never, ever had a jam sandwich before and how nice it was, just like jam on toast.
He’s 35! How has he got to this stage in life and not had a jam sarnie?!

And tomato sandwiches (ok maybe it's me that's odd)

Cucumber and tomato sandwiches are odd. Add cheese and we're fine.

Ahhhh a jam piece but do you put butter on as well ???

I havent read the thread, but my dads favourite sandwich is jam and cheese not envy.

@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow

Golden syrup on Philadelphia. Mmmmm. On the opposite end of scale, growing up in Australia A favourite sandwich was cold tinned spaghetti or baked beans. I couldn’t sit near anyone having it for lunch. 🤢

I love cold baked beans, even better with salad cream mixed in!

@ExpletiveDelighted

You both will be horrified to find out that some people put jam on Yorkshire pudding for pudding - in my family it's golden syrup. Otherwise eaten as a starter with onion gravy. Just not on the main plate. Jam, no.

I have had a really good think and while I have added to this thread, I am familiar with them Iv even added a song I don't think I have actually had one myself!

A honey piece though! Oh my goodness! The joy!

By the Dp says jam on a Yorkshire isn't that different to the concept of having jam on a pancake.

Hope this doesn't get me reported or thrown off this thread, but I once had a Brie and Lemon Curd sandwich, prepacked from a little newsagent. I think it was Martin's. It was heavenly, like lemon cheesecake in a sandwich. Thoroughly recommend.

Oooh Yorkshire pudding with salt, sugar or jam.. yes please

I wouldn't put jam on a pancake either, I just don't think they go together.

Raspberry jam on a pancake is lovely. Only on crepes, though. American pancakes are better with maple syrup and streaky bacon.

I love cold baked beans, even better with salad cream mixed in! well that’s just wrong.
My Canadian great aunt and uncle used to have marmalade on bacon.
My df loved Yorkshire puds with milk and sugar. They are just Pancakes really.

@Mycatsmellsbad

I’ve never had a jam sandwich, or jam on toast. To me it’s mixing sweet and savoury which is just all kinds of wrong.

Yep. This!

I've never eaten one either, I like jam on toast but a jam sandwich sounds claggy, sweet and unappealing

YABU - I have never had a ham sandwich and I would never want to have one!

They are not nice. Horrible mix of sweet and savoury.

I’m obviously aware of them though!

The only things I’d have jam on are scones or croissants or something that’s already fairly sweet, or at least in the sweet “section” iyswim.

Never on croissants either, or crumpets, they are both for savoury toppings only.

Damson jam or bramble jelly are the nicest jams. 😋

Does he expect you to believe him? Wow. Such an astonishing lie.

LTB!

I have not and will not have one, jam is gross.

Never had a jam sandwich, only on bread and butter or jam on toast. Not averse to it just not something I’ve come across.

Your DP is not alone. I have never had a jam sandwich and have no wish for do so!

To do so, not for do so. Autocorrect!

Never had one either. I didn't grow up with such a thing so it's not going to occur to me to start now. Plus I don't eat sugary stuff.

I've heard of people eating sugar sandwiches, dripping, Golden syrup, condensed milk... nope. Looking through this thread I've never eaten these things. Hundreds and thousands sandwiches? Why was this food even created?

I get why marmalade on bacon would work. Fruit in various forms accompanies meat well. I like jam ON nice fresh white bread, but not in it! 😋 Just fancy a cheese and onion crisp sandwich right now.
