Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: SueB Date: 20 Apr 04 - 01:43 AM My daughter says this way is best: slather a large tortilla with peanut butter (creamy) pop in mocrowave oven for 20 seconds or so fold over and eat while tortilla is soft and warm and peanut butter is hot and drippy lick the excess peanut butter off your arms She also says she would definitely advise against peanut butter/salami combination. C.H., I'm not sure if I could chew my way through a whole peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich these days, but as a child I thought they were magnificent. My other favorite, also taught to me by my grandmother, was white bread slathered with butter and white sugar, which would probably send me into some sort of glycemic shock nowadays, not to mention make my teeth ache. Didn't you ever love anything as a child that you wouldn't like now? |

Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:53 PM Don - Grape jelly is not widely available in the UK... I prefer my own home made sloe/blackberry/someother berry I've forgotten jam. But I do agree that the lighter and juicier the jam/jelly, the better it is for de-clagging the roof of the mouth. Ever seen a cat trying to lick PB off its face? Try it, it's good for a half hour of knicker wettingly funny entertainment. Cat gets a good workout, some PB and you get clean underwear. In a bid to make two sandwiches late one night, I spread jam on one piece of bread and put corned beef on another slice of bread, leaving two slices bare of all except butter. In my confused condition, I put the wrong bits together, ending up with a bread and butter sandwich, and a corned beef and jam sandwich. Not wanting to waste food, I ate them both up and have been hooked on the latter ever since! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: JohnInKansas Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:42 PM Actually the "ultimate peanut butter sandwich," with just enough "tooth" to feel good as well as taste right, and just enough "juice" to keep the PB from sticking to the roof of your mouth, is with those "bread and butter" pickle slices that grandma used to make. Dill pickles add too much of their own flavor, - that clashes with the PB. The B&B pickles just blend and bring out the best of both. John |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Little Robyn Date: 19 Apr 04 - 04:02 PM Yesterday I had peanut butter with mashed pumpkin and marmalade in my sandwich. It's yummy. But I only had smooooth so I don't know how it goes crunchy. Robyn |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: wysiwyg Date: 19 Apr 04 - 04:01 PM Thai peanut sauce in a pinch. Depending on desired quantity: Good sloppy squirt of barbecue sauce or as much as you want to make PB, creamy or chunky, a heaping spoonful or a big ole gob for a large batch Five-spice powder or equivalent Black bean sauce or soy sauce to taste, maybe a little fish sauce or a mashed anchovy If no barbecue sauce, ketchup, cloves, brown sugar. We carry a tube of squeeze PB in the car. Hot Chinese becomes Thai with a little PB stirred right in when the dish is served. Hide it tho-- the staff will be offended AND think you are insane, but really, their sesame sauce for cold noodle would work just as well if they could understand what you are SAYING! ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Don Firth Date: 19 Apr 04 - 03:16 PM My apologies to all. I should have known. Peanut butter and grape jelly (Concord, of course!) is to humans as water is to fish. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: SueB Date: 19 Apr 04 - 02:03 PM No one has yet mentioned a staple of my childhood, the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich, affectionately known as the Fluffer-Nutter. Here's a good one: Spread one slice bread with PB Spread the other with cranberry sauce On the PB slice arrange chunks or slices of canned pineapple Top with the cranberry sauce slice. Also, PB and green chile jam, or PB and jalapeno jelly. A PB and tabasco sandwich folded over is good in a pinch. |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Clinton Hammond Date: 19 Apr 04 - 01:55 PM The best thing to have with crunchy peanut butter, in my book, is MORE peanut butter! |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Rapparee Date: 19 Apr 04 - 01:42 PM One doesn't need to mention breathing unless the air is foul, and peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches are air. |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: SueB Date: 19 Apr 04 - 01:21 PM If you have not had a peanut butter and bacon sandwich you have not lived! Also, mix more or less equal parts peanut butter and peach yogurt into a smooth creamy mixture, awesome for dipping fruit into. Off to fry some bacon! |

Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Bill D Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:44 PM Don...that is, of course..CONCORD grape jelly! and for the specialists... a mixture of crunchy PB, Almond butter, and Leatherwood honey from Tasmania...on a special multi-grain bread! If it's fresh baked, it is Nirvana... I also like PB and syrup or with other honeys...especially some nice ones from New Zealand...and Mesquite honey from the US....sorry, no onions or mustard for me. I know several people who add banana, but I just never got into it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Don Firth Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:22 PM Good Grief!! In all this, no one has mentioned the Basic, Universal, Classic, Ultimate, Food-of the Gods ingredient!!???? The manna that fed the Israelites as they wandered in the desert for forty years, and the ambrosia favored by the Gods of Olympus was [Flourish of Trumpets!!] The Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Sandwich. So much grape jelly that it squirts out around the edges and everything in the immediate vicinity turns Royal Purple. (I thought this Fundamental Knowledge was built into the genes. . . .)

Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: JenEllen Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:55 AM I've a preference for 'real' peanut butter. Our local grocery has a peanut mill that mooshes to your preference, but has nothing in it other than the peanuts. It's the best. That said: PB and real butter (no margarine, REAL butter) PB and bologna (the more nitrites the better) PB with raisins and ruffled potato chips and a recent favourite: a sandwich made from PB cookies and vanilla ice cream (hey, it's still a sandwich!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: GUEST,MMario Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:52 AM we;'ve had two dogs who both LOVED peranut butter - both would beg for it in the same way - by using the normal "begging" styles PLUS imitating the roof-of-mouth-licking motion they would undergo after receiving the PB. (they were both convinced that if they raised their heads far enough and stuck their tongues out far enough they would be able to lick it off the roof of their mouths in one go.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Ellenpoly Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:26 AM Peanut Butter on a rice cake with banana and honey...Yummmm! Peanut Butter straight from the jar with a big spoon...Yummmm! Peanut Butter and any kind of Jam...Yummmm! Okay, here's the deal, I NEVER had peanut butter at home. Never. My mother was a wonderful cook, but she didn't like anything remotely sweet, and I guess peanut butter was in that catagory. Not until I went away to camp and found the peanut butter and jelly table that was provided for campers who didn't like whatever was being served (this was an enlightened camp, bless em) and were given the choice of making their own sandwiches, was I introduced to this heavenly substance. Coming later to peanut butter means I am making up for lost time. Just writing this will send me to the cupboard for another peanut butter fix (my second of the day). But I do prefer crunchy, which no one seems to be mentioning. There are definite preferential rifts on this, I assure you..xx..e |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: mack/misophist Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:21 AM Peanut butter and mustard. To cut through the earthy taste of the peanut butter, you need a spare, sharp tasting mustard with no 'earthy' flavour. French's is the best. |
Subject: RE: BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches From: Grab Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:21 AM Bovril. Chicken (with meat in sandwiches, or stirred into gravy for proper meal). Cheese (I have been known to spread it on slices of cheese, without the assistance of bread). Cheddar is good, but Grandma Singleton's Tasty Lancashire is best. Americans will have to make do with whatever plastic passes for cheese over there - so far as I could see in Michigan, there's nothing worthy of the name. Come to that, I'm not so keen on American peanut butter either. Best in Britain IMHO is Duerr's. British types tend to have more salt and less sugar. Graham. |

PB & Tahini & dates & banana (& optional honey) sandos on thick barley bread, available in a wonderful vegetarian take-away shop. On the odd accasion that I forget my lunch they are my normal buy, & are very yummy. Thanks for the good ideas in the other posts. sandra (looking forward to more ideas!!) (ps. I make my own PB - just whack the roasted peanuts with red skins in the blender on coffee bean speed & grind them down. I tip the crushed peanuts in a bowl & add some oil cos the blender can't crush them enough to extract the oil as the fancy machines do in the shop or factory. |
