The Great Peanut Butter Post!

Jul 13, 2006 14:39

Lunch today was two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and they were glorious. Skippy As Crunchtabulous As We Can Make It peanut butter on both, with blackcurrant jam on one and boysenberry on the other. The jam or jelly or preserves or whatever, except marmalade because blech, can be just about any flavor and I'm okay with that. I particularly ( Read more... )

I totally love peanut butter on hot toast, too. It gets sooo melty and good.

I can't pick my favorite sandwich style, though. I love peanut butter and jelly too much.

I pretty much always eat smooth peanut butter, but I do like crunchy, too. I eat that 'natural peanut butter' which is just peanuts and peanut oil and it is extra peanutty.

I think dark jellies look nicest with peanut butter, but I do like apple jelly a lot.

Have you ever had cherry jelly?

Re: yum. trista July 13 2006, 20:09:39 UTC

My dad eats natural peanut butter, too. The stuff that they grind at the health food store while you stand there. Or maybe he gets to do that himself, like the DIY coffee stuff in some grocery stores? Anyway, it's nothing but peanuts and a peanut oil, and it tastes wonderful. The only problem with it is that it separates and you have to stir like hell to mix the oil back in before you use it, but I'm okay with that.

I don't think I've tried cherry jelly. That sounds really good!

Yeah, you do have to stir it. Some of them are more...grainy? then others. The one I get now is from our great grocery store and it's very smooth. It's just good. I mean, I enjoy the Skippy-style stuff, too, but I've come to really like the natural stuff.

You should try cherry. It's a little tart, which I think is good with the p-nut-butt.

I now want to go eat lots of peanut butter.

Also, I totally agree with you about not leaving margins! AND I think the sandwich must have TONS of peanut butter. You have to COMMIT!

I hope you're not mad at me for writing "then" instead of "than." ;)

Re: fatal error! trista July 13 2006, 20:25:39 UTC

Of course not.

*giggle*

Actually, I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. ;)

Re: yum. trista July 13 2006, 20:24:40 UTC

Yes! If you're going to have a peanut butter sandwich, have a peanut butter sandwich! I've seen people use so little peanut butter that it's less about spreading the peaunut butter on the bread and more about rubbing the bread with a slightly dirty knife. No thank you. I want a serious layer of peanut butter on my sammich. I want to need that glass of milk.

Now I'm going to have to go out and buy marshmallow fluff, hot fudge, and cherry jelly. And I'll be eating all peanut butter sandwiches all the time for weeks.

Oh, there's something else I forgot to say!

We recently bought a jar of this: http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/store/index.cfm?destination=theheatison

That is crazy stuff! It's very, very spicy! It's good on crackers and such. I haven't tried it in a sandwich. They have other interesting-sounding flavors, too.

The really crazy company is this one: http://www.stylepeanutspread.com/

Have you seen their flavors?!? (Also: they're insanely expensive)

Re: yum. trista July 13 2006, 20:31:41 UTC

Oh, that first one sounds incredible! I love spicy things, especially when it's spicy-with-yummy-flavor rather than spicy-just-to-be-hot, and I really love spicy flavors when they're unexpected. You expect chili to be spicy, but not peanut butter, so much. I bet it tastes wonderful.

The second one is crazy! All those flavors. Wow. I think I'd like one of each. Except maybe the curry, as I'm not much of a curry person. But the chile mango? Mmmm.

I have! And it really really really is wonderful. No idea why I didn't make the spicy peanut sauce/peanut butter leap.

Do you scrape the peanut butter out of the jar with the saltine like dip with a chip? That is good peanut butter.

Re: yum. trista July 13 2006, 20:47:36 UTC

Ah. Very wise. Also keeps you from getting those embarrassing peanut butter stains on your shirt. Like ring around the collar, except around the cuff. And made of peanut butter oil.
