The Best Tomato Sandwich Recipe
“That pinch of sugar is the magic. Seriously. If this sandwich doesn’t make your tongue jump out of your face and slap you on the back of your head, I’ll eat my hat.”

I grew up on tomatoe sandwiches too and I love them except we didn’t put sugar on them. I am sure it is just as good that way too. Eat up ladies
My sister and I grew up in Arkansas. Tomato sandwiches were a treat for us kids. Even when our grandma wasn’t around to cook we found the simple meals were the best.
I too love tomato sandwiches. My son grows about 30 heirloom varietevery year. I roast and freeze pasta sauce from them and enjoy luscious tomato sandwiches
