NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY

March 1st was made for National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. Ah, peanut butter. One day is not enough to recognize peanut butter. The goober has been paired, blended, and added with many tasty results!

#PeanutButterLoversDay

The creamy, nutty goodness known as peanut butter is so amazingly delicious that when we pair it with creamy and dreamy chocolate, we almost have bacon.

We digress. Another great love is peanut butter ice cream. Blended smooth with a few chopped nuts and a drizzle of peanut butter syrup is a peanut butter lover’s dream come true.

The slang term for peanut butter in World War II was “monkey butter.”

A monkey visited the lab at Kellogg’s one day and dipped his banana in a jar of peanut butter, and he’s been ape over the combination ever since. Actually, banana slices with peanut butter sandwiched between them and dipped in chocolate make a terrific snack.

Peanut butter and bananas were a combination even fit for a king. Elvis Presley loved a peanut butter and banana sandwich or two.

Then peanut butter got its passport and traveled the world. It paired up with some shrimp and got a little saucy. The result is a Thai peanut butter shrimp that is so yummy it had to be true love.

Things heated up a little when peanut butter jumped into the stew pot to sweat it out with a spring chick seasoned with some cayenne. African Chicken Peanut Stew tastes better than ever.

One of the best times peanut butter has ever had is with marshmallows. Fudge enjoys a satisfying dessert status to be envied.

Fun Peanut Butter Facts:

It takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter.

C.H. Sumner first sold peanut butter in the United States at the Universal Exposition in St. Louis. He sold $705.11 of the “new treat” at his concession stand.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup was introduced to America in 1928.

The oldest operating manufacturer and seller of peanut butter has been selling peanut butter since 1898.

Mr. Ed TV’s used peanut butter as a secret ingredient to get a horse talking.

Americans spend almost $800 million a year on peanut butter.

January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day.

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY HISTORY

National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day first made its appearance in 1990 commemorating the anniversary of when peanut butter made its commercial debut in the United States. Promoted by both the Adult Peanut Butter Lovers Fan Club and the National Peanut Board, the day found full cover peanut butter spreads in newspapers across the country. An un-named doctor was given credit for first providing peanut butter to his patients. In March of 1890, he began providing the spread to those patients who had difficulty chewing. More than 100 years later, we continue to celebrate the benefits of peanut butter, and its history, too.

Peanut Butter FAQ

Q. Do elephants like peanut butter?

A. Elephants don’t really eat peanuts despite what caricatures you’ve seen or stories you’ve heard. So, they wouldn’t eat peanut butter either.

I was never a peanut butter and celery person, but put it on an apple slice and you’ve really got something!

Grilled in real butter, peanut butter and jelly sandwich will be the choice.

That sounds delicious!

I think it’s the same with the apple slice. Sweet and savory flavors, crunchy and smooth textures. Great combination!

Celery, cream cheese, GOBS of freshly ground black pepper. A glass of good Red wine; best pick is an Argentinian Red.

Heaven! :)

(Keto and heart friendly combo.)

Just tasted like PB&J to me. Marketing 101, though!

My Grandma was an oil painter. She got the idea of making toothpaste that was striped when it came out of the tube, but someone beat her to it. Aim toothpaste, I think?

Another ‘Million Dollar Idea’ down the ‘tubes.’ *SNORT*

I’ve never tried that combo, thanks! Malbecs are one of my daughter’s faves, so I have learned that those are reds I actually enjoy.

Feast of Saint David - March 1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_David's_Day

I don't see peanut butter on the list. Maybe he had to keep it a secret.

I luv peanut butter, the kind with only peanuts as an ingredient.

I haven't bought any in years, because well... I luv peanut butter.

Pb and bacon
Pb and raisins
Pb and cheese
Pb and pickles

So many options...
Pb goes with most anything.

One could probably make a pretty penny with a pb food truck if they planned it well.
