Let's settle this once and for all

[Davestone]

Is it crunchy or creamy peanut butter? i HAVE to have super crunch myself! :bow:

[Sponsored Links]

[ceramictec]

:uhh:

[ddmoit]

Why choose when you can have both? I have one of each going at all times. I enjoy a PB&J with crunchy now and again.

[Davestone]

No opinion Brian?I suppose your happy with any old peanut butter your wife buys,huh?Not me mister,took 20 years to get crunchy in this house. :bow: :yeah:

[Davestone]

No jelly on mine,can't stand it,just crunchy, there ain't no other kind.And i like my bread folded in half,pb thick in the middle,not laid out like a shingle. :tongue: What brought this on?20 years of lookin at creamy pb in here and finally i see some crunchy, heck i had to sneak it in for years...kids don't like it she'd say,well where is all my crunchy goin then? :bow:

[tilerite]

Creamy is the only way to go.

[Crestone Tile]

Creamy and all natural ... I can't eat the hydrogenated stuff anymore.

[Eschbach]

Creamy all the way

[Foochacho]

The crunchier the better.

[MudMaker]

Dave?? You off yer meds again?? :wtf:
Oh.. Creamy :)

[Davy]

When I was a kid I would mix pancake syrup to the peanut butter, stir it up real good before putting it on the bread. My wife says I'm nuts. I also like chili on noodles instead of spaghetti sauce. :sick:

[John Bridge]

Okay, who want's to delete Davy's post? He's not even talking about peanut butter. :D

Crunchy. Gotta have that crunch. All you creamy guys are just lazy. ;)

[The Kid]

crunchy :yeah:

[irish tileguy in michigan]

I guessthis is going to sound weird, and i guess im going to hell for it , but I HATE PEANUT BUTTER.
Now before you stone me , remember im from Ireland and did not grow up here, but if its any consulation my 5 kids love it, ( the creamy stuff)

[irish tileguy in michigan]

Im sitting here after writing the last post and im laughing to myself and thinking you never know whats topic is going to be brought up here in the mud box.

[Davestone]

How did this go so wrong? Pancake syrup, Irish guys,chili. :bow: When i was a kid in St Louis they had a brand of peanut butter with a squirrel on the jar, don't know if they still do but i looooved that peanut butter!!I don't like the Jifs,and that fairy Peter Pan, they're too sweet, i like the generic brands real crunchy. :tongue:

[johntrent]

yep - pb & syrup - the daily 2nd option for my lunch choices thru elementary school.

and the occasional bed time snack now......

[MudGuy]

Crunchy :yeah:

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_-dw_HM_92Eo/R6uid0XSHqI/AAAAAAAACDY/cmpsZEER1dA/s800/P1010938.JPG

[Davy]

See, johntrent is nuts too. :D I'd hafta go with the crunchy but y'all need to try the syrup, just a little of it won't hurt ya. :)

[ceramictec]

Dave?? You off yer meds again?? I though he really meant Scotch or Gin.....lol


Jif Creamy all the way !

[Davestone]

Scotch and Gin was before, now it's just peanut butter. :lol1:

[marinemom]

If us rookies are allowed to partake in this here 'professional' poll, then make mine creamy,for a fluffernutter.
Oh ... and folded, not 'shingled'. :)

[kate42]

Gotta have that crunch. All you creamy guys are just lazy.

Unless one ain't got their own teeth.

Crunchy PB is the best, but now I can eat only Creamy. With strawberry jam on saltines is the way I like it. :)

[dbol]

It just doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!!!!

[kate42]

Where is Skippy when you need him?

[Old World Tile and Marble]

crunchy rips the bread apart booooooooo

better yet
FRENCH FRIES
with gravy? or ketchup? or malt vinegar?

i vote gravy!!

[sandbagger]

sounds like we need some of that guvmint money to do a five-year study, eh? :uhh:

[TileArt1]

sounds like we need some of that guvmint money to do a five-year study, eh? :lol1:

Have to have creamy. When I try to use crunchy my bananas fall apart.:D

Shingled! :tongue:

[Mountain Tile]

Chunky with vanilla ice cream is good too. How bout that pb with the jelly already mixed together, that makes a good sandwich.

[ceramictec]

ok, Creamy on a PB & J sandwich.

Creamy on a Banana.

Creamy PB & Banana sandwich, yeah with a little mayo.
my Uncle got me eating it like this when I was 10 in N.C.

chunky on toast & PB at night with a glass of milk.

[HS345]

Crunchy, creamy, it don't matter. I eat it with a spoon, right outta the jar. :drool2:

Smucker's Natural Organic is my favorite. But when I run out, I steal my wife's Wal Mart reduced fat creamy.:D

[Tool Guy - Kg]

Cripes!



Crunchy, of course. Even though I'm supposedly the only one that eats the crunchy in the house, my stuff disappears like Davestone's does. I think his kids sneak over and swipe my crunchy PB juuuuuuust like they do at his house. :suspect:

[jay f]

Say what you want, JB, but in my opinion, the premixed PB&J crap is the epitomie of lazy, even worse than mastic. :lol1:



Super crunch for me.






Unless my teeth ain't in, then smooth.






Yep, gottem both. Alla time.

[Dave Taylor]

Don't like peanut butter.... never did.

Looks and tasts like brown mastic.... or sumpin'.

Gimme' a good ol' honey-n-liverwurst' on white anytime.

An' folks here-a-bouts' say I gots' no taste.

[Tool Guy - Kg]

Would that be "crunchy" or "creamy" liverwurst? :stick:


:sick: :twitch: :uhh:

[ddmoit]

Gimme' a good ol' honey-n-liverwurst' on white anytime.You're in the wrong place, Dave. I think this belongs in the "Liverwurst vs. Braunschweiger" thread.

[HS345]

Definitely Braunschweiger.:nod:

[Davestone]

Did you know peanuts are actually beans,not nuts...and Cx is actually nuts not,err well..........luuuuv the Braunshweiger,check spelling,funny i never once saw it called that in Germany when i was there.....did see Beir though. :yeah:

[HS345]

luuuuv the Braunshweiger,check spelling

I did check spelling (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/519860), I had to, since I wasn't sure how to spell it.:D

[ddmoit]

How could you not be sure of the spelling after I already spelled it? I'm offended!:mad:

[HS345]

I'll never question you again. :bow:

[ddmoit]

I'll never question you againNot on spelling, at least.:D

[tilerite]

Don't know if this is related but every week night around 7:30-8:00, I roast myself fresh peanuts. Nothing like it. Makes the whole house smell like a peanut factory.

[ddmoit]

What's your process, Rick? Do you have special equipment, or are you just using your oven?

[cx]

Y'all weird. :rolleyes:

[tilerite]

Just a regular oven, Dan. I buy raw peanuts and bake them at 350 for 22-25 minutes. I am addicted to them.

[ddmoit]

It sounds wonderful, Rick. I swear I can smell peanuts as I drive through Virginia and North Carolina on my way to OBX. I know they're grown there; I wonder if everyone is roasting them like you do.

[gwataloo]

Boiled are my favorites :)

[tileman2000]

Crunchy,creamy ...doesn't matter.Whatever is in the cabinet when I open it.Not a real picky eater...chili mac...Braunschweiger.The honey and liverwurst i'll be trying.

[Dave Taylor]

Ohhhh somma' times I feel lika' nut...... or is it bean?
Damn!




IMPOTANT' EDIT:

This thread could blow that Obama thread right outta' the water.

Ohhhh.... I always eats' my peas wif' honey.... an' it makes em' taste kinda' funny.... but it helps em' stick onna' knife.

[tilerite]

Dan
When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to Atlantic City. The smell of peanuts from the Planters Peanuts store used to permeate throughout the boardwalk. Maybe thats why I do what I do.

http://www.cardcow.com/74275/planters-peanuts-atlantic-city-advertising/

[Davestone]

Boiled peanuts are big here but i hate em.I do have to try the roasted ones, but i do like the store bought roasted ones too.Peanuts are fattening too, but it's a good fat,kinda like this...

[marinemom]

I know this is a little :topicoff:, but the roasting peanuts conjured up the memory of when I was little and my father used to take me into Manhattan at Christmastime. He'd buy me roasted chestnuts, which I'd put in my pockets. Boy, they were yummi ~ and kept the hands warm, too. :p :nod:

[Davestone]

Us Floridians don't have to worry about the no ,more,huh? :bow:

[ckl111]

Boiled peanuts are big here but i hate em.I do have to try the roasted ones, but i do like the store bought roasted ones too.Peanuts are fattening too, but it's a good fat,kinda like this...
I didn't realize you were an assman Dave... :lol1:

Baby got Back (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jqFjNl1ZdY)

[Bellsfloors]

Well my household has two opinions when it comes to PB

Wife likes the All Natural Peanut Butter & Co, Sweet Dreams Chocolate and also the Vanilla flavored creamy PB's. She'll wipe the Vanilla out of the house within just a couple of days.

I myself like the Super Chunky Honey Skippy PB. Ussually on Ritz crackers with Real butter, or quarter slice an apple and spread it on all four and munch away. Last one was my grandfathers favorite way so I took on that tradition :yummy:

[Davestone]

:lol1: Shake your groove thang.............Yeah CRUNCHY MAN!! All the way! :yipee:

[John Bridge]

"I guess this is going to sound weird, and i guess im going to hell for it , but I HATE PEANUT BUTTER.
Now before you stone me , remember im from Ireland . . . "

Steve, I know you're not a Brit, but your island is close to theirs. Years ago I learned the Brits call it "nut paste." Is that the case in Ireland? I mean, can there be crunchy and creamy nut paste? ;)

[Dave Taylor]

What's a goober??

[Tiletim]

I took a page out of Davy's childhood book and tried the creamy Jif and Log Cabin syrup on my sourdough english muffin this morning - damn good.

I know I will catch hell for this one: when I was a kid my buddy Joel and me would make crunchy peanut butter & sliced cheese sandwich's then pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds just to get the cheese to start melting.

Musta had something to do with living next to all those cheeseheads.

I don't think I have done that in 30 years. :)

[Davy]

Atta boy, Tim. Gotta try something new now and then. :tup1:

[kate42]

sounds like we need some of that guvmint money to do a five-year study, eh?

:idea:
I nominate Kelly to do the study. He loves working for the guvmint. :shades: He loves taking the guvmint money. :D

[Bugman]

None of that Jif, PeterPan, etc. for me. :tongue: One of our grocery stores has a peanut butter machine. Hopper full of roasted peanuts on top, flip the switch and the best peanut butter ever comes out the bottom. It's not real smooth like creamy, but not chunky either. It just tastes so much better than the stuff in jars. I do like chunky too. Just have to figure out how to add some peanut bits to the fresh ground peanut butter. :)

Nothing like a fresh piece of toast, especially with home made bread, and slap on a big serving of fresh peanut butter while the toast is still hot.

Cheese and peanut butter sandwiches are great. A friend of mine in grad school and I used to make those all the time.

Boiled peanuts -- simply delicious! Had my first ones in 1978 when I moved to SC. Can't stop eating them!

[ceramictec]

Just a regular oven, Dan. I buy raw peanuts and bake them at 350 for 22-25 minutes. I am addicted to them.
Boiled are my favorites they sell roasted and boiled all over the side roads down here
on rt. 46 outside Sanford there's a guy that sells them.

boiled peanuts are gross. :sick:

[kate42]

Clyde

I betcha my food processor would almost do the same thing.

Now that I'm stuck in the house because it gets so dark so early, I need new projects to work on. Grinding nuts for peanut butter sounds do-able. And delicious.
Now to find decent roasted nuts.

http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/decorationsmile2.gif (http://www.millan.net)

[Davestone]

Sheesh if i did roast my own i'd probably weigh 300lbs.
I do the peanut butter and toast thing a few times a month for breakfast. :yipee:Ever have peanut butter, banana,and sardines?Sounds terrible but it works,course i was drinkin back then. :uhh: :neesie:

[jim mclaughlin]

ever try a pb & sweet pickle sandwich ?

[Davestone]

I'll try that,i don't like sweet pickles but i bet together they are good....well,maybe. :uhh:

[Rob Z]

My grandmother used to make pb sandwiches with sliced apples instead of jelly. They were delicious when I was 10 years old. :) Come to think of it, maybe I should try them again :idea:

[kate42]

ever try a pb & sweet pickle sandwich

No. Since I don't like pickles, it sounds totally unappealing to me.

http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/xmasban1.gif (http://www.millan.net)

[kate42]

My grandmother used to make pb sandwiches with sliced apples instead of jelly. They were delicious

Since I like apples, this I'll try. :)

http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/decorationsmile2.gif (http://www.millan.net)

[jim mclaughlin]

I know it does not sound appealing and I don't eat them often but when I do :yummy:

[muskymike]

I like chunky better than the smooth. Anytime I have a PBJ sandwich it's a triple decker. :yeah:
Sounds pretty gross Jim. :sick:
Rob, I'll hafta try that out with the apples.

[HS345]

Don't forget peanut butter and banana sammiches.:yummy:

[Bugman]

Man, forgot all about peanut butter on apple slices. Used to do that when the girls were little. Pretty tasty snack, especially with a good apple like a Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady, etc. that is loaded with flavor.

Another tasty snack item is peanut butter on celery sticks. Just gotta make sure you fill the valley in the smaller pieces.

[ddmoit]

Another tasty snack item is peanut butter on celery sticks. Just gotta make sure you fill the valley in the smaller pieces.Add some raisins to the top of that and you would have what my kids call "ants on a log".

It's hard to beat peanut butter mixed with fruits and vegetables for kid (and adult) snacks.

[johntrent]

Ants on a log huh.....sounds pretty good to me - have to give that one a try.

[MudMaker]

My late partner (Biness Partner - also F.I.L. - thought I'd clear that up) got me to try a peanut butter sandwich with a nice slice of tomato stuck inna middle of it.. He was a Tenna-see-an. Try it sometime.. It's better than it sounds.. :)

[Dan Kramer]

Almond butter.

[ckl111]

Almond butter

That's what we have too. My son is severely allergic to peanuts.

[mark11755]

Jif Creamy for me too. This will sound wierd, but try it before you bash it. Jif Creamy on pancakes. Way good.

[Davestone]

We had a family across the street with about six kids when i was a nub and they would put ketchup on their pancakes. :bow: When i was on the Atkins diet i lived on peanut butter on a spoon. :bow:

[MudGuy]

Crunchy pb on toast with a hot, fiery salsa. :bow:

[Davestone]

Does peanut butter and eggs sound disgusting or what? :lol1:

[davem]

I've got my kids eating peanut butter on pancakes and waffles, it's awesome. Here's a weird one that is really good: cold pizza right out of the fridge with a very thin swipe of peanut butter. :)

It's all creamy in our house due to Laura and the kids. I do like crunchy though.

[cx]

Now y'all really weird. :rolleyes:

[ddmoit]

Dave, get your own self your own personal jar of crunchy peanut butter. Being the only person in the house that likes something is one of the simple pleasures in life.

Me? All the black jelly beans are mine.

[Hamilton]

Crunchy :yummy: I like me a peanutbutter and honey sammich. Peanut
butter on celery is almost better than celery and ranch or french onion dip. :)

[MudMaker]

Now y'all really weird.
OK.. now put a slice of tomato on a p-nut butter samwich and eat it and tell me I'm weird...... :shades:
Don't comment til ya do..... :)
Ya'll report back....

[Davestone]

And peanut butter on an apple...yowzer. Actually i do have a veryyy large container of crunchy. :bow:

[HS345]

I was watching a show on the travel channel today, and there was a place that serves peanut butter, banana, and......bacon sandwiches. :yummy:

[TileArt1]

Bacon makes EVERYTHING better! :D

[Davestone]

Yeah bacon! I'm goin down to the kitchen and puttin some on my pizza right now!

[ceramictec]

OK.. now put a slice of tomato on a p-nut butter samwich and eat it and tell me I'm weird......
Don't comment til ya do.....
Ya'll report back.... umm.....eeeeewwwww ! :sick:

[johntrent]

I had a couple of Oreo's last nite with a dollop of pb slapped on one side then dipped in a glass of milk.

Good stuff -

[ckl111]

OK.. now put a slice of tomato on a p-nut butter samwich and eat it and tell me I'm weird......
Don't comment til ya do.....
Ya'll report back....
umm.....eeeeewwwww ! :sick:
So did you actually do it Brian? :D

[ceramictec]

I did have a tomato sandwich, but I'm not putting Pb on it.

[Dave Taylor]

in one-o-them' lucid moments that's fewer' and further' between as I gits' older-n-older'.......

Back when I was a teeny-bopper' in ought 55 an' part of high school confidential.... I recalls' the following hit song but don't remember nuttin' else about it...... :scratch:

**************
Lyrics: Well, there's a food going 'round and it's a sticky, sticky goo
- Peanut, peanut butter
It tastes to good, but it's so hard to chew
- Peanut, peanut butter
People everywhere, they think it's the most
- Peanut, peanut butter
Early in the morning they put it on their toast
- Peanut, peanut butter

Chorus: I like peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, chunky peanut butter, too!

My old dog started barking in the middle of the night
- Peanut, peanut butter
He woke up all my neighbors, I almost got in a fight
- Peanut, peanut butter
So I gave him peanut butter just to quiet him down
- Peanut, peanut butter
He chewed himself to sleep and he never made a sound
- Peanut, peanut butter
Chorus

I went to a dinner party and what did they eat?
- Peanut, peanut butter
I took a big bite and it stuck to my teeth
- Peanut, peanut butter
People going 'round look like they got the mumps
- Peanut, peanut butter
They were eating peanut butter in great, big hunks
- Peanut, peanut butter
Chorus

I couldn't eat guacamole for many years, for the same reason. I'm over it now though, love the stuff.

I still can't drink Southern Comfort though.:D

[Davestone]

It was tequila and chili for me,stained the bathtub red, but i still eat it,but i did get sick on Wendys chili and won't eat that.

[MudMaker]

I did have a tomato sandwich, but I'm not putting Pb on it.
Try it... You'll like it.. :)

[Davestone]

I couldn't do the pickle or the tomato,since i don't drink any more i may never try any of the weird stuff again. :bow: :neesie:

[jim mclaughlin]

How about a small sweet gerkin dipped into the jar ?

[Dave Taylor]

I got lots' of peanut butter and peanut butter products for sale..... cheap.

Cheese and panut butter crackers, peanut butter pie, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter flavored ice cream, chunky PB, creamy PB, Nutter Butter peanut butter bars, Reeses PB pieces and cups, and on and on and on.

This stuff should go well with the tomatoes, spinich and dated fruit salad we all bought last go around :think:
