MRS. LEVITT'S BANANA SANDWICHES

mrs. levitt made the greatest sandwiches.  i can still taste and savor the tuna fish sandwich she gave me at the n y world's fair in 1939.  it drove my mother crazy that i complemented mrs. levitt's cooking and food.  my mom thought of herself as both a great gourmet cook and nutritionist and scoffed at anyone else's efforts. 

when my mom heard that mrs. levitt fed her kids banana sandwiches for lunch (we came home for lunch during school hours in those days), she would laugh and say mean things about mrs. levitt's knowledge of food and nutrition.

anyway yesterday, i had my first banana sandwich, which is a peeled banana squeezed between two slices of wonder bread.  it was great even though i didn't have the wonder bread..  what took me so long.  you must remember the secret ingredient is a peeled banana.  squeeze it.  do not mash, shake or stir.

i believe her great tuna fish sandwich was composed of tuna fish, lemon juice, and mayonnaise on wonder bread.

enjoy.
