Linda Bennett explained that this sandwich is composed of grated carrot and cheese, finely chopped onion and mayonnaise. Apparently this recipe is particular to Port Blanford.
According to local lore, Betty Greening, a World War II bride brought this recipe with her to Port Blanford from Scotland. It has since become a well-known sandwich among the locals.
Have you ever consumed this sandwich? Is there a particular name you've associated with it?

haven't thought of this sandwich for 60 years thanks for posting I went to school school with betty"s son calvin
Katie, I have to try this sandwich. It looks delicious and is so nutritious. I didn't realize that rhymed.
I used to take sandwiches like that - on pita bread - for lunch when I was in high school, quite regularly. Only I'm not from here at all. I didn't know anyone else who ate them - it was a concoction I somehow dreamed up myself. I think I might have put in a bit of apple, too. Kind of a variant on apples and cheese, in sandwich form. They were good!
Betty was my nan. I was so excited to see this article. It brings back many childhood memories. Thank you🙂
