    That sounds good, but not a sandwich fit for a king, the photo even looks cafeteria thin. My Tennessee history professor uncle has always known it was a fried sandwich, grilling the bread (like a grilled cheese sandwich and banana in butter and/or bacon grease, applying the grilled banana, peanut butter and crispy bacon . See wiki for some very interesting stories on this. TCB
