The humble and unassuming peanut, a member of the pea family (Fabaceae), is considered by at least 70% of Americans to be a staple food comparable to bread or milk. Peanut butter, one of the primary food products made from this beautiful legume, may very well be the greatest invention of the modern age.
You're probably thinking that only a fool would consider peanut butter a greater invention than airbags, the child-proof pill bottle, dialysis, or
Peeps. You are wrong. Peanut butter is a much, much better invention than all of those things put together. Peanut butter is probably the most important thing that mankind has created since the
beer helmet.
What other condiment can easily be integrated into breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Peanut butter is quite possibly one of the most versatile and friendly ingredients. It will play nicely with eggs, jelly, ice cream, crackers, vegetables, whiskey, cocaine, and even bananas! In this day and age, it's hard to find a condiment that will stay close by your side through each of the day's three major meals and two major drug and/or alcohol binges. Yes, peanut butter is your most loyal companion.
So the next time you're staring down the barrel of a tall bottle of Graves pure grain alcohol, or if you need some comfort after a
tough morning at the gym, look no further than your trusty jar of creamy, delicious peanut butter. It will never do you wrong.
