    Ok, so I know this post is a few days old, but I am having a terrible craving and was searching for something to fix and had to chime in. I LOVE peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I like them toasted with the bananas sliced. I have also used almond butter. I've never heard of the mayo thing and I'm from WV. Anyway, these were some of my childhood favorites to eat with my Granny:


    peanut butter, butter, and banana
    peanut butter, honey, and banana
    peanut butter, maple syrup, and banana
    peanut butter, marshmallows, and banana

    Also, any of these are good w/o the bananas too :)

    I don't like mayo, so it would never fly with me, and Iv'e never heard of it. We don't eat banana on anything at all- it's just a banana.

    I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches..and if i'm feeling like it i'll drizzle on honey too, yumm!

    I admit I am curious about the banana and mayo sandwiches. I'm willing to try it even though i'm skeptical. Do you just spread mayo on the bread and slice banana on top?

    I used to eat mayo sandwiches (just mayo and pepper, lmao)...so I'm definitely a mayo fan, and love bananas.

    mayonaise freaks me out. nuff said.

    but i do like bananas with better than peanut butter on deli slim bread or sometimes on those little chocolate miniature ricecakes.

    my boyfriend makes the most ridiculous sandwich ever.. cinamon swirl bread toasted, peanut butter, fluff, bananas, chocolate syrup, and of course....sprinkles. omg. and hes still a skinny minny

    Okay, I know this will throw some of you but it is delicious. Grilled cheese sandwich (I prefer sharp cheddar) with Mayo, PB, Raspberry jelly and bacon. Delish! Also one of my favorites is PB, Mayo and bacon. Why am I overweight again? Obviously I have had to cut these fun things out but every now and then it cant hurt to splurge; can it?

    I heart toasted PB, banana and honey sandwiches. So yummy and total comfort food for me.

    I also love peanut butter and pickle sandwiches... I am from Canada and rarely do I find anyone who thinks it is a reasonable sandwich combo. :) Very glad there are others out there.

    When I was little my Mom would take a piece of bread and spread on PB. Then she'd roll the bread around a couple pickels and slice it into several little PB and pickle sushi rolls. It used to be one of my favourite lunches as a kid.

    Very much craving a PB and anything sandwich right now. :)

    I'm from Canada too, absolutely love PB and banana sandwiches, either on a toasted bagel, but even more so on toasted raisin cinnaman bread YUMM-O :love:

    I have never tried mayo and banana, but my former MIL used to eat PB and onion ALL the time :sick:

    Hi from the UK.

    Banana sandwich yes. But with PB or mayo NO! Why not just taste the banana and lovely crusty wholemeal bread.

    I have an unhealthy hate for mayonnaise. Like it freaks me the hell out. So this thread makes me want to curl up in a ball and rock back and forth.

    With that being said, I LOVE me some PB and Banana.

    P.S. PB and Pickles? WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF? :huh:

    I've never heard of banana and mayo sarnies (I'm from the UK) and have to say it doesn't appeal at all!!

    I haven't had a banana sandwich for years but as a child I used to love it sliced and with a teaspoon of sugar over it (for the crunch) on white bread with a scraping of butter.

    wow you know... I was born and raised in the panhandle of Texas and i had never heard of such a thing till I left home and joined the military. that was when I heard about the pb and banana or honey sandwiches. My husband whose from california used to eat them growing up to.. I'm trying to figure out how I was missed in all of this. lol

    i think I may have to try such a sandwich soon.

    Mayo + PB + bananas? YUCK!!! (And I'm from Texas where we have fried butter! lol) I like mine as such:


    Whole wheat toast
    Layer of PB
    Layer of sliced bananas
    Drizzle of honey
    Fold or top with another piece of toast slathered in PB :D

    another BAMA girl here...love, love, peanut butter, mayo, and banana sandwiches. I grew up on them! Only BAMA mayo in our house. I make them w/out the mayo now...don't want/need the extra calories.

    OK i just made myself a banana and mayo sandwich for the first time. Honestly i couldn't even taste the mayo....you must have to put on tons of mayo to taste it. Not something i'd make again :)

    Have never even heard of a bananna sandwich! I obviously live in a cave on another planet. HA!
    Now, I'm gonna have to try it... sans mayo though.

    In Southern California I grew up with the smashed banana mixed in with the peanut butter sandwich. But as my taste buds matured I put the banana & peanut butter on a toasted english muffin or better yet on a waffle with syrup. My mouth is watering and my mind is telling not today, maybe a treat when I lost a few more lbs.

    I'm from NJ, and no one here even eats bannana sandwhiches...they think its weird. Least, the city I am in haha. Even my mother thinks it's a 'disgusting' treat...than again, she hates bannanas...haha. Truthfully, I eat my bannana sandwhiches with cream cheese! I make sure the cream cheese is a nice thin layer, place the bannana slices over wheat bread and yum!

    With a side of 2% milk, yumyumyum!!

    I'm getting some very interesting replies here...Apparently it is a very southern thing to eat bananas and mayonnaise on bread...especially an Alabama thing. I never realized other people didn't eat it together! LOL

    And of course you gotta use Duke's Mayonnaise!!!! (Or Bama!)

    Oh that's gross! Haha. And, I'm from the south. Born and raised in Mississippi and currently residing in Georgia. Never stepped foot out of the south, and I've never, never ever!! heard of mayo and banana sandwiches. Now... Tomato and mayo sandwiches? That's a whole lot better. I used to like PB and banana sandwiches as a kid, but now I'm not too crazy for sweets (or peanut butter). Would rather have like.. I dunno, pimento and cheese or just plain meat and mustard. :P

    Hi from the UK as a child we would have banana sandwiches sliced on white bread with a sprinkle of sugar, but now I slice a banana onto wholemeal bread which I have spread with cottage cheese mmmmmm

    not a sandwich but still on the banana theme - banana covered or dipped into a fat free toffee flavored yogurt, tastes just like banoffee pie but a whole heck of a lot healthier!

    That sounds amazing...I just found a use for my remaining banana and the muller light toffee yogurt in the refrigerator!

    I LOVE PB and banana or banana and honey, grilled sandwiches - HEAVEN!

    If you're feeling particularly decadent (and have the calories to spare, of course!), try sliced banana and Nutella on toasted wholegrain bread...

    I am a fan of PB & bananas! BUT... when I had it for a snack last night and put in in my food counter I couldn't believe that it had cost me 240 calories!! WAYYYY too much for a snack!
