So the quality of Armor potted meat has plummeted in the last 20 years (I always thought that would be impossible to do, yet somehow Armor managed) but it used to be a small can with mayo and a slice of cheese. Bread could be toasted or not.

Big cans made triple deckers or 2. It was best when it was gelatinous. Now the nasty old stuff is so sub par that it has no gelatin in it to get gelatinous. I still get a can or 2 a year. Nostalgia wins out and I'm disappointed every time.

Back when the main ingredients were beef hearts and other assorted bits it was really good in a really strange way. Now that its mechanically separated chicken, it sucks.
 
Abalone sandwich, (if you know, you know)
On sourdough, with homemade tartar sauce and lemon.
They are by far my favorite sandwich in the world, unfortunately in the "F'd" up State of Cali, we can not dive for Abalone any longer.
 
I guess it's technically a sandwich. Peanut butter on hotdogs.

Back in my youth, me and a friend partook of some weed and got the munchies. We raided his parent's fridge and all that looked interesting was a pack of hotdogs.

We got them cooked up, and there was not a drop of mustard in the house. My friend goes rummaging through the cabinets and comes up with a jar of peanut butter. He was like, "well, it's the same color as mustard ..... let's try it".

It wasn't horrible but I have never been moved to repeat it.
You reminded me of cracker samiches. It was a drunk concoction I came up with camping with friends at a Steam Thrashers Reunion at probably 1-2am. 2 slices white bread, thicker sliced Cloverdale summer sausage to cover so probably 1 whole and a secon cut in half, a slice of Kraft cheese and BAM Bob's your uncle. This has been repeated on multiple times, always with too much beer involved during our 20's so 15-20yrs ago

Try tossing the can in the fridge for a while, or freezer if you are in a hurry. Completely changes the flavor. Make sure it firms up but still just barely spreadable and then make it the way you like. I agree it has gone downhill but cold really does work.
 
I've just recovered a deeply repressed memory from about 30 years ago in Los Angeles. Please forgive me for this sorta-sandwich memory.

I was at my old Army buddy's place. We had been up drinking all day, and I fell asleep to sleep the dreams of the angels. I woke up at about 3 AM desperately hungry. So hungry that I didn't think that I'd live until the morning. My first rummage was through the freezer, and all I found were bags of frozen piss - my friend was trying to pass a drug test for a new job. But in the fridge, I found fresh slices of Spam. I couldn't/wouldn't eat Spam alone, so I scoured the house for suitable delivery vehicles. I settled for Ralph's (SoCal grocery chain) sugar cookies that were resting on the counter. To be clear, I put a slice of Spam between two sugar cookies, and it rocked my world. I really, REALLY, liked it. So sue me.
