TalkingNut - Peanut Butter: How to use, with what, or if at all?

[JustTim]

So, having had a number of those, they are, actually, damned good.

I don’t eat banana. Hate it, lol.

Pro tip for long river expeditions / trips. Eat lots of raw green bananas at the start of the trip to bung you up, so you don’t need to dig as many holes.
Ripe bananas at the end of the trip, to help things move along

loved it. then i tried almond butter.

loved it. then became allergic in my 40s.
+1 for almond butter.

One of the best things about the many best things about going to Europe is that peanuts are replaced with real nuts in just about every regard.

I’ll probably lose friends for this, but here goes.

Have always loved PB. Chunky. And Skippy was always the only right choice. But somewhat recently, I found that Wegmans brand is actually better than Skippy.

I will still eat a PB&J (Smuckers strawberry jam) for dinner, or PB on saltines (I tend to use that more as a snack tho).

I mean, PB has to be the reason that PB Cups are the best candy, right?

And while I originally thought this was an abomination:

I had one, and it was actually pretty good…

Peanuts are not nuts btw.

PB goes well with vanilla ice cream

Actually PB ice cream is my favorite ice cream.

All good deserts contain salt

The problem with Skippy and lots of other brands is that they aren’t really peanut butter. They are a PB-like processed food product.

Things that should go in PB:

• peanuts
• salt

Things that should not go in PB:

• everything else

This is one of the few things I am religious about

Actually Smuckers PB is quite good too, it’s just PB and salt. Or at least one of their PB’s keeps it real like that.

Seriously, TMOT:

sooooo good.

[toughdoody]

my gut no longer likes me when I engage in a PB chowdown. I prefer smooth over Chunky

Kirkland is Costco, right? Never had a Costco close enough to consider membership. I’d be willing to give it a shot otherwise.

And while I don’t disagree with your religious belief that PB should have limited ingredients (hard to argue against that for any food, really), I’ve just never found a “natural” PB that I like as much as Skippy/Wegmans. Especially the ones that separate - just ruins the whole experience. Seriously though, they’re too dry or something…

Yep! They carry it online too but I don’t know what the story is with their online-only memberships.

I was mostly joking (well, not for myself, but to each their own). Totally natural for people to like different things, and I have certainly eaten a lot of Skippys and other PB over the years.

We used to make a science of figuring out which MRE’s had which function. Our conclusion was the ones with red sauce should be eaten later

That reminds me (speaking of PB with additives). MRE PB and Cracker were awesome. I used to trade people the real entrees for them. That cracker would fill in fine if you lost your weapon, too. A throwing cracker.

It’s thicker than it looks there. It’s hard to describe how substantial those things are, for crackers.

We had the equivalent called Biscuits Brown. They were so hard you had to let them sit in tea / coffee for about a minute or it was a trip to the dentist. Nobody ever wanted to trade for Biscuits Brown.

I did 3 months straight on rat packs once, good times!

Nah, man. It’s all good. We all like different basses, strings, genres, etc. It ain’t nothin’ but a thing.

As a spread for any cookies (macadamia is my favorite)
On top of ice cream
Full spoon in a glass and just pour some Coca Cola.

If that tasted anything like pb and chocolate I’d be dead in a week, lol

OK I’ll be the one to ask - What are they if not nuts?

[MikeC]

Peanuts are legumes.

[toughdoody]

not the MRES…ugh. The old MRE bread was a good platform for the PB n J
