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.

My standard rush-out-the-door-and-eat-it-in-the-car breakfast is chunky peanut butter on a toasted onion bagel, along with a travel mug of coffee.
I love PB.
I get Skippy Natural Super Chunky at Wal-mart and usually the creamy natural from Aldi’s.
I use it in my oatmeal -cooked or just mixing it with a few other ingredients to eat raw.
I also use it in sauces to have with ramen noodles. A little pb, butter, sugar, vinegar, pepper/onion mix and just a little ketchup makes a nice sauce with chicken or pork.
My favorite sandwich since I was younger - white sandwich bread, pb, honey, ham, and Cheetos. Bonus was the ham loving cat couldn’t steal the ham off the sandwich that easy.
I rarely eat it now since I don’t always have all the ingredients but I think I will pick up a bag of the cheese curls at Aldi’s and save some ham from Christmas and make it next month.
Peanut butter with sliced bananas on rye bread is food from heaven.
JIF all the way, simply the best!
Peanut butter, cheese, and jelly on whole wheat. Mmmmm-mmmm-good.
Peanut butter is also great for baiting mouse traps.
One of my favorite stupid game show answers...Family Feud: “Name something you squeeze”.Answer: “Peanut Butter”
I can’t be the only one who loves peanut butter with a granny smith apple.
Me too....it’s the eternal staple for me...eaten every which way....on toast, in sandwiches, with or without jelly/jam/preserves, but I think I enjoy it best smeared on a big, crunchy apple...that is sheer heaven.
Oh heck, I love peanut butter on just about anything.
Adam’s crunchy with bacon and Tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese on white toast.
“I can see strawberry jam, but I am stuck on boysenberry. Don’t know why, but it, to me, towers above any and all other fruit spreads”
Now hold it,....blackberry preserves are FANTASTIC....
I think you just nailed it!!
Winston Churchill loved it; Grand hotels worldwide stocked it for him.
If you saute the onions, they carmelize and make a perfect mate with peanut butter.
There’s absolutely nothing better than peanut butter....
I’ll win the Lotto and get struck by lightning on the same day before a jar of peanut butter lasts 2 years in my household.
It’s awesome because well, just because.
I love crunchy.
You can open it and just leave it laying around forever.
I opened a jar and spent a year before I finished it off.
Family size...
What about Orenthal?
Smores with Peanut Butter on an icy cold night and scotch.
Yup, it is one of the most hardy and versatile foods ever sent from Heaven.
