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 didnt eat it with jelly either, or put it into their kids lunch boxes.

Peanut butter and jalapeno bread and butter pickle chips on rye is my go to.
After spending a fortune on Greenies pill pockets for my dogs medication, I happened along peanut butter as an emergency substitute. My dog loves it and the pill goes down nice and easy.
Isn’t awesome to me; used to be until it started tearing my stomach up.
Right now I have 4 jars of Planters Crunchy. Bought it cheap from Amazon. IMHO the best peanut butter.
Jalapeno peppers stuffed with peanut butter is killer too.
Where do you get these jalapeno bread and butter pickle chips? Sounds great.
fresh ground is the best. But I did just make sunken kisses cookies with Jif. They’re okay but then I make oatmeal cookies and they are the best. I make them with dried cranberries instead of raisins. Yum. Finally I made chocolate chip and they’re okay but I find them boring.
I like JIF
This what I don’t understand why in certain school district they ban it or busted anybody who eat peanut butter

Hey Tet (and Freepers),
Here’s a new twist -
On rye, rub a clove of garlic on toast before putting on the peanut butter....been eating this since I was a kid. It’s yummy!
Have to try that.
