I like PB on toast for breakfast along with a fresh cup of coffee. Often accompanied by a banana on the side. Sticks to my ribs and fuels the morning really well.

It’s one of my go-to treats and is a great quick breakfast. I just eat it straight now, right from the jar, but my historical favorite was to eat it spread on saltines.

Prefer chunky.

It is also a great spicy sauce base; add some chili oil like rayu, some chili powder, etc. Anything spicy goes well with it.

Peanuts are not nuts btw.

PB goes well with vanilla ice cream

While peanuts are not nuts, some people are nuts for peanuts.

Ok, now we’ve got the PB thread, it would be only fair to start a JB one. What’s a legitimate candidate for that? Jelly beans? :thinking:

I’ll never understand peanut butter and banana. I feel about that, the way many people feel about pineapple on a pizza (which I’m actually fine with and like).

Personally, smooth peanut butter is too much like eating paste. It has to be chunky.

but have you tried rum butter though… thats on a whole other level! :grin:

Peanut butter additive norms are relative and nurture-based. People tend to like stuff they grew up with. My mom was never a PBJ fan, so we kids never got PBJ sandwiches. I never understood it when I’d see a classmate knocking one back. Diff’rent strokes.

Just happened to see this:

What in the name of all beer-loving deities is this???
