In the latter part of the movie when the older gent was confessing to the woman while they were making sandwiches: what were they? They looked like mayonnaise being spread, thinly, on white bread.

Mayonnaise isn't very common in the UK. While many sandwiches in the US are spread with mayo, in Britain butter is much more common. The sandwiches were bread-and-butter (or bread-and-margarine).

Stork SB [margarine] every one."
