This is my Mother's favorite sandwich. She claims that she and her sister invented this in 1924.

I'd actually give this 2.5 stars if that were an option. I love all of these ingredients so I thought I might love this sandwich, too. I followed suggestions of using crunchy PB, very crisp lettuce and fresh bread. I took the first bite hoping for a life-altering experience... and was disappointed. There was nothing offensive about the taste or texture, but there also wasn't anything extraordinary. It left me lukewarm. Hence the 2.5 stars. *shrug* Can't please everyone, I guess.

GodivaGirl: You beat me to posting this recipe, though we always called it "Peanut Butter, Lettuce, and Mayonnaise." I grew up with this sandwich, and now my kids have, too. They've asked for it often since they were old enough to ask (they're 12 and 14 now). Even their friends at school like it. Something to note: use very crisp lettuce, and use a generous amount of all ingredients - they should all be approximately equal. A TBS of Mayo and PB are not enough, nor is two leaves of lettuce. I'd say 2-3 TBS of the spreads and four leaves of lettuce. Love love love this sandwich!

This sandwich is delicious!! My dad has been eating them for years. We always thought he was nuts. I finally decided to give it a try and I had to call him to take it all back. He isn't nuts after all!! This is terrific and will be a regular for me. Dad says he prefers Miracle Whip too, but I only had mayo on hand. Will try with that next time.

I laughed when I saw this recipe. Never in a million years would I have thought to put mayo and PB together!! First thought was GROSS. Then I remembered how I ate really strange things in growing up in Taiwan but they were delicious!! So curiosity got the best of me. I only had baby argula around which I think gave it a strange taste, but I still gobbled the whole sandwich up! Next time I will try it with iceberg. Everyone out there, don't judge til you try!! Thanks for posting!

I was looking for something else when I came across this. I used to love this sandwich; only I add tomatoes. My kids thought it would be gross and discovered it's as yummy as a BLT(only healthier Mom). They are grown and still love this sandwich. Toasted or untoasted, if you like peanut butter, you will love this and may never go back to a traditional BLT.

I am 65 and have been eating these since I was a kid. I still have them often and the addition of the lettace is good. I eat them when nothing else sounds good to me, it is a staple when I don't feel just right. MMM

My mother introduced this sandwich to me when I was just a kid (about 8). It was a depression era recipe for something nutritional and cheap. To this day it is my favorite sandwich. The original recipe she used on me was peanut butter, Miracle Whip, lettuce and tomatoe. Sounds discusting but I used to take it to school for lunch and all my friends that tried it loved it.

I grew up eating these! When I was a kid I just had the peanut butter and mayo, no lettuce. Now as an adult, I like to have it with lettuce, tomato and alfalfa sprouts! YUM!

If you ever want a laugh, spend some time on AllRecipes browsing all of the different peanut butter sandwich combinations. I love how many different "weird" sandwiches were family favorites, and considered totally normal! Ours was this one, with a slice or two of american cheese added. Use real mayonnaise, and super-crisp iceberg lettuce. For some reason, this has always appealed to me on the kind of not-so-good mornings that sometimes come after really, really good nights out. I think it's the combination of the rich, salty mayo and cheese, the sweet peanut butter and the crisp lettuce. Just seems to hit all the right spots.
