GeddysMullet Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Does anyone here have any strong feelings about peanut butter? What's your favourite kind? What are your favourite ways to use peanut butter other than in a sandwich? I don't eat peanut butter often, but at times I have a specific craving for it. When that happens, it becomes the most delicious and satisfying thing in the world. Like right now! This is my favourite: I can't eat bread, so I eat it off a spoon, or sometimes dip spicy rice crackers in it. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I can eat it but it's not my favorite thing. I prefer it with chocolate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken hawk Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I actually like crunchy peanut butter on bananas. Bread helps but you cant help bread. Put the banana on a stick. ;)http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/crunchy-monkey-peanut-butter-banana-sticks-recipe.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Sometimes, only a PB&J will do. Lately my go-to PB is Trader Joe's organic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Extra crunchy Jif. I just don't see the need for anything fancier that that. One my quicky breakfasts is PB toast, but I don't go much beyond that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 There was a time when I bought some only to eat it out of the jar. Happened twice. Wasn't as great as I thought it would be, but it was an easy way to get through the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) I hated it when I was a kid, which drove my mom nuts. I like the smooth kind now, on toast or with bananas is almost the best.

Tombstone Mountain Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Elvis was onto something here...inspired cuisine!If you've not tried this, do it at least onceThe peanut butter and banana sandwich has been referred to as a favorite of Elvis Presley,[4] who was renowned for his food cravings such as the Fool's Gold Loaf, a loaf of Italian bread filled with a pound of bacon, peanut butter, and grape jelly.[5] Books on Elvis Presley's favorite foods and culinary tastes, as well as other published reports on his taste for peanut butter and banana sandwiches with or without bacon, have made the sandwich widely associated with Presley. It is often referred to using his name.[6][7][8]Presley's fondness for peanut butter and banana sandwiches is well established; however, bacon is not mentioned in all accounts.[9]A book about Presley and his mother, Gladys Presley, though, says he had "sandwich after sandwich of his favorite—peanut butter, sliced bananas, and crisp bacon". Another passage describes him talking "feverishly until dawn" while "wolfing" down the sandwiches (described in this instance as being made with mashed banana).[10]A news report suggests that, based on renditions of sandwiches named after him, Presley ate his with caramelized bananas and crispy bacon on grilled Hawaiian bread, and grilled by his mother or his cook in bacon fat.[citation needed] The Good, the Bad, and the Yummy describes it as consisting of half a banana and a piece of bacon per sandwich, browning the sandwiches in a frying pan with butter, cutting the sandwiches into wedges, and piling them high.[11] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had not seen this exact quote, but a few years ago Mr. blues and I went as Peanut Butter and Banana to an Elvis party a friend was having. I think we won a little prize or something because there were about 10 Elvises (Elvi ??) and some Priscillas as well. We were the only sandwich ! :) We kept the foam board costumes but they are looking the worse for wear these days!http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/20160814_230557.jpg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Once when I was a kid. I was up on the counter with a big spoon to get the jar of peanut butter. I took one bite and look behind me. My mom busted me. Got a few swats for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Jif is my favorite brand. I find Skippy too dry. And when it comes to peanut butter, it seems you get what you pay for. The cheap generic brands usually don't pass muster although some manage to for me. Ask 73 for his awesome peanut butter cookie recipe! I can't wait to make them again. I have a special jar of natural peanut butter in the closet waiting for the first Autumn-like day to make them. :) I love peanut butter on or in pretzels and chocolate. Also was into eating it on celery at one point in the late eighties. Edited August 15, 2016 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I love peanut butter. PB and bananas, raw celery or carrots, as a topping for ice-cream, in a milkshake or smoothie, or solo with a spoon. One of the most decadent applications I ever had was on a burger that had swiss cheese, bacon, grilled onions and chunky peanut butter. Pure heaven.

GeddysMullet Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I can only eat the natural peanut butters, the ones with only peanuts and salt. Supermarket brands taste amazing but give me heartburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
