dry sandwich

United States
September 2, 2012 1:32am CST
We were out and about with the kids yesterday and brought lunch with us. Hubby made my sandwich for me. I took a bite of it and had to inspect why it seemed so dry. Hubby only puts mayo on one slice of bread. I asked him if that's how he always makes his sandwiches because I'm used to mayo on both slices of bread. It just seemed funny w/o the other half not having mayo on it. I guess though I disagree with him on this that he did atleast save me some calories.

That is true but I do both sides too....I like to do both as I like shredded lettuce on mine and it won't stay in place if there isn't anything to hold it on the sandwich.

That's true Jill, mayo & condiments help keep veggies in place.

I am sure it was an error on his part but..,thats what you call a good ending from a bad error..I know it was dry without mayo on both sides...That would be dry to me also....

I knew I wasn't the only one who would find it dry. I couldn't imagine him making me a hot ham sandwich as a roll calls for extra mayo and mustard.

WhenI make a sandwitch that is not going to be eaten right away I always put the mayo inside the sandwitch where it doesn't touch the bread and make it soggy. I learned this when Huby was working 12 hour ;shifts and wanted to be able to taketwo meals away form home.

Say that's an excellent tip Pat!!! My hubby works 12 hr shifts and that's one of his reasons I think for not maing sandwiches for work that and he likes to waste money at the cafeteria

I cannot remember the last time that I had mayo on a sandwich. It does taste good though. I stick to mustard or a brown sauce. I am not fond of ketchup and don't even eat with french fries. I raely have french fries but when I do they taste sooooo good. Maybe you shoulld start adding mayo toonly one slice of bread if you want to lose weight.

I've been trying to lose weight for over 20yrs! I joined gym last month so I hope that'll help besides eating better. I don't eat sandwiches all that much as lunch meat is priced at more than I want to spend. And pbj's get old really fast too.

I guess that was exactly what your husband had in mind- of taking in less calories by placing only one side with mayo. And maybe he doesn't want the taste of too much mayo in his sandwich that he got used to.

Perhaps it was or maybe that's just how he makes his. I like mayo on both pieces not glopped or anything.

I used to put mayo on both slices but now I just put it on one slice.

I'm a mustard gal, and I prefer it on both sides, because I like the flavor

I like mustard or a honey mustard on a hot ham sandwich here too. But other meats it's always mayo and in desperation margarine *LOL*

My husband butters his sandwiches because he doesn't like mayo or mustard. When I was losing weight I didn't use mayo at all. It's full of fat and nastiness, but the lighter stuff tastes awful. Instead I just loaded it up with veggies and stuff. Tomatoes add some moisture. I also added pickles or banana peppers to give it a different flavor.
