I grew up eating banana sandwiches. And not the kind of banana sandwich that has bananas with peanut butter as Elvis helped make famous … I’m talking ‘bout mayonnaise and bananas.
Before you judge me crazy, you need to try it! A banana mayo sandwich might just change your life.
Banana Mayo Sandwich
Banana and mayo on white bread – you either love it or you hate it, there is no in between!
This is something that I grew up eating, as many of y’all have too I’m sure.
And, I know that there is many of y’all who have never even heard of this and probably think I may be halfway crazy to even mention ingesting the combo.
This sandwich seems to be way more popular in the South, where I live, than anywhere else.
Weird thing is – I don’t even like bananas.
I don’t really care for banana bread (unless it’s covered with dulce le leche…) or any other banana treat, but slather some white bread with mayo and slice a banana to sandwich between the bread and it’s a match made in Heaven.
I just love them.
Variations of Banana Mayo Sandwiches
Some of my friends even take it to the next level and slather mayo on one slice of bread and peanut butter on the other, and then sandwich the sliced banana in between.
Eh, that one’s not for me. It’s either got to be peanut butter with the banana or mayonnaise with the banana, I’m just not a fan of the combination even though tons of folks swear by it.
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are okay… but they just don’t hold a candle to a banana and mayo sandwich in my book. It’s definitely my favorite.
So, How Do I Make a Banana Mayo Sandwich?
No recipe needed!
Just slather some mayonnaise on white bread (I like Duke’s).
Slice a banana up – I like to slice mine in half lengthwise and then in half again, to where I have 3 half slices of banana.
Layer the banana on the mayo coated white bread and sandwich it together.
Easy as can be!
So tell me, do you like banana sandwiches? Let me know in the comments!
Peanut butter, banana, and mayonnaise sandwiches are also delicious!
Delicious! Don’t knock it til you try it:). YUM!!
Grew up on them and make them for my kids now! Love them!
Im now 29 and my sister 35 and were from SC but have family in NC and GA . NC being my main roots. I remember when i first tried one with my grandma. Me and my sister used to habitually eat this like it was nothing. Still do to this day. Everything in this article…YES!!
I grew up with this but it was always mashed bananas with sugar. Always messy, always delicious!
I thought I invented this sandwich in my teens in Brooklyn
No one ever heard of it and made comments of “disgusting” when I mentioned the sandwich. What to surprise to learn it was a staple in the South.
Gross , sorry !
