Forget Pineapple on Pizza. Does Peanut Butter Belong on a Cheeseburger? We Did a Taste Test
MSN ^ | 2/12 | John Tufts, Katie Wiseman and Bradley Hohulin

Posted on 02/12/2024 3:40:37 PM PST by nickcarraway

let's put aside the great debate on whether pineapple goes on pizza (it does, but that's not important right now). Peanut butter... does it pair well with bacon? What about a cheeseburger? How about both?

Sonic apparently thought so. In January, the fast food franchise offered a peanut butter bacon cheeseburger for between $6-7 and, nutty enough, tossed in a peanut butter bacon shake as a drink option. Both were available for a limited time and are no longer available on the menu.

Maybe that's for the best. The calories alone are as high as our skepticism. Peanut butter already has a best friend — jelly (also chocolate, when jelly isn't watching). Why add bacon and cheese when "PB" and "J" have been BFF's forever?

Clearly a pregnant woman thought this was a good idea...

Might be good. Pineapple on pizza, does not sound good.

Two great tastes... as the Reese’s people say.

I haven’t had but there’s no question that peanut butter can work in savory foods in general. A Mexican place I got to uses peanut butter in the red chile sauce they put on enchiladas. It’s damned good.

I saw that at a restaurant once and thought it interesting but kinda weird.

I made one at home. Peanut butter over beef patty, jelly under.

It’s actually pretty good. I had one yesterday.

When I was a kid I saw my buddy putting Peanut Butter on his ham cheese and mayo sandwich. A few years later I tried it and have been hooked ever since.

I’ve had a burger with sharp cheddar, a fried egg, and just a wee bit of peanut butter. (context: not an egg on burger person, nor had I ever had peanut butter on one).

It was actually pretty good, I thought.

As for pineapple on pizza, I believe that was formally outlawed by the Hague Convention of 1899.

Triple XXX Family Restaurant in Lafayette,IN is known for this. Featured on a cable TV show. Tried one when on town. It was very good.

Some of the best ribs I have ever had were brushed with a peanut butter/orange juice sauce/coating.

A friend of mine’s Dad adapted it from a recipe in an old Better Homes and Garden cookbook for a pork roast.

It was quite magical.

I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch.

Pineapple...just don't call it pizza...call it a fruit pie if it dominates.

I fry pineapple chunks for my stir fry.

Peanut butter goes surprisingly well with all kinds of unexpected things.
