One of my husband ‘s favorite sandwiches is peanut butter and a pickle on rye. Elvis Presley liked his peanut butter sandwiches with banana and bacon, and Hemingway liked thick onion slices in his. Ninety-four percent of American households have a jar on hand. The stuff lasts forever, so in a nuclear war situation you can always rely on it for sustenance. It can be stored safely unrefrigerated for two years.
I, on the other hand, have a love/hate relationship with it, and if I do ever eat it, I do so in the traditional manner, as a solo spread or with its mate, jelly! At other times, I abhor the stuff and, even when scrounging around for something to eat, will bypass it.
I had always thought that peanut butter was as American as apple pie and mom and was never eaten before we Americans took over from the British. Not true. It was actually an Aztec dish, but eaten as a paste, not a spread. I bet they didn’t eat it with jelly either, or put it into their kids’ lunch boxes.

I’m a Jiff fan. Skippy is too sweet for me. I love peanut butter, one of my 3 favorite foods. I am usually the only one who eats it at my house, although my daughter does occasionally. I also like to melt it with a little butter and a tiny bit of honey and stream it over the popcorn. Then toss it like butter popcorn. It is really good! I made up that recipe back in 1985. 2 TBSP peanut butter, one of butter and a drizzle of honey to help it smooth together. YUM!
I have no worries with that; “Let them eat peanut butter!”, I say!
‘Did I tell you what two things fall out of the sky?’
No, what?
‘That sounds great.
I live in the garlic capital and haven’t tried that one’.
Don’t forget....bread needs to be rye. Garlic will not spread as well on most types of regular toast. No cutting or mincing is needed, just peel and rub garlic on toast.
I prefer the non-peanut nut butters. Especially cashew butter.

You do know that he had nothing to do with peanut butter, right?

Sorry ‘bout that. If it’s any consolation, it’s taste better in the morning (at least to me).
Had some garlic fries.
I feel way better.

Mayo is DISGUSTING...
Well, if it has to be rye, then it needs to a Reuben...forget the peanut butter.
Canadian Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec was the first to patent peanut butter, in 1884.
