Five-year-old Michael today thought of sprinkling his open-face peanut butter sandwich with raw rolled oats. (Today we're using natural-style PB on heavy whole wheat bread; I don't think this taste would go with very light or white bread, nor dry peanut butter.) "It's good," he said, and it is, rather; I think I'll go on to experiment with grape nut type cereal or ground flax seed on PB.
        Our family likes a bowl of rolled oats, uncooked, any time of the day, with raisins, nuts, milk, water, fruit juice, frozen berries, or anything handy.

In the UK, jelly is made by cooking the fruit and then straining the pulp out of the liquid (without squeezing) and then boiling up the liquid with suagr until a setting point is reached. How is it made in the US?

Lyrical Lady,

The cabbage rolls sound good.

A question for the U.S. pb-ers: is jelly different to jam? In Oz jam is a thick fruity sweet gooey substance, with fruit pieces included. To make it you stew the fruit with sugar and water, and sometimes pectin to make it set (depending on the fruit) until it is a lovely gluggy consistency.

Is jelly like that but without the fruit pieces, and maybe made from the strained juices which are allowed to set?

Or are jelly and jam the same?

I once made cabbage rolls using brown rice,pine nuts, onions, cerery, garlic , and peanut butter for the filling.   It was a dish I invented for a vegan wedding and it went over very well.

I didn't think I would be the first to bring this up, but I can think of other things to smear a little peanut butter on besides slices of bread...(wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean? know what I mean?)

my mom used to make peanut butter, mayonnaise and lettuce sandwiches...
she and my uncle loved them!

I like a nice natural jam or preserve with it (peach or starwberry or raspberry), but usually just eat it plain. All-natural when I am being good, Jif when I am not...
it's darn good on fresh rye bread, for a change from the usual...

peanut butter with duck sauce - not the mostly liquid stuff that comes in the little plastic packages from the Chinese restaurants, but the stuff you buy in the stores that has a good stiff jelly-like consistancy.

also pb on graham crackers - any kind; regular, chocolate, cinnamon - with apple butter.

pb with molasses or sorghum.

Never even thought of most of these ideas, lots of research now needed.

Started last night with the store cupboard, tried (tentatively) PB on gingerbread, the hard sort like pumpernickel. It was good, just a hint of salt on top made it very good.

New, larger, belt please.

Grilled PB&J sandwiches
PB and pickles
PB and Chili...a staple!!!

PB and applesauce is great...thanx Pop

I would however, try to convince you not to mix a PB&J sandwich with a good Stout beer as a bedtime snack...Unless of course you need a night filled with really weird hallucinogenic dreams.

The only thing peanut butter is any use whatsoever (IMHO) is to put on mouse-traps. According to Joy (a recent expert on the subject) they go mad for it.

The best culinary thing you can do is mix with marmite (and thats another thing!)

All right, hands up everyone who has read this thread and gone and eaten some peanut butter.

Me, for one. Even bought a nice big jar of it today to replace the depleted supplies.

So far the most tempting idea for me is the grated apple and pb on rice cakes. Have to try that one.

I like PB on hot buttered crumpets (a batter pancake with baking soda in it to make it bubble. It's cooked on a griddle in small ring moulds). The butter bit melts down into the crumpet and leaves the crunchy bits on the top...... mmmmmmmmm may just have to go eat one now....

I agree with Sue B's first post -- peanut butter and bacon (on white toast, please) is the BEST! In fact, it's just about the only way I ever eat peanut butter.

I'll pass on the marshmallow fluff and cheese and bananas and jelly and all that other stuff.

Seems others have priority on my PB'n'cheddar invention. Darn those patent laws. Of course, it can be "improved" with a thin slice of raw onion, if you're not plannign on going out later. And it has to be on a good whole wheat or grain bread (not rye).

And someone else has mentioned PB on cheese (no bread), and another has mentioned PB and salami. I've been known to nosh on a combination of these ideas when the bread cupboard is bare: A slice of cheese with a slice of good hard salami on it, topped with a generous dab of PB. Delicious. I suspect that pets would think so too, and you might get the desired animation effect as well, as they try to dispose of the PB. . . .

Sandwiches? I thought peanut butter was for use in milkshakes.

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup Concord grape jelly or jam
2   cups vanilla ice cream
1   cup milk

Throw it in a blender and whirl it 'til it looks right. If it's too thick or thin for your taste add more milk or ice cream.

Michelle,

On a spoon = first principles. Everything else in the pb universe comes after that.

And you have reminded me of what Mum used to do when we were kids to try to make us eat our veggies: hide a dollop of peanut butter in the middle of the mashed potato. Yum! Not that I ever needed any more encouragement to eat potatoes, of course.

Yummy! I LOVE peanut butter!
My favorites:

Peanut butter and apples on a rice cake
Peanut butter on pancakes then add real (versus the artifical stuff)maple syrup
Peanut butter on a HOT toasted english muffin so it gets all goopy
Spaghetti (sauce and all) with either bread and peanut butter or just put a spoonful right in with the spaghetti (noodles and sauce).....drives my husband crazy...he just rolls his eyes at me....probably in the same manner as I do to him when he eats meatloaf!

For an excursion to Peanut Butter Paradise:

Make a "sandwich" of peanut butter and two ginger snaps.
Smooth or crunchy -- your choice.

I call them Johnny's Famous Peanut Snappies.
It will take about half an hour to come down from the high.

I also enjoy plain peanut butter on wheat toast,
as a midnight snack.
