@kevin-eleven saidI go back and forth. Some days I like chunky, some days I like smooth.
@PB1022
Oh! I forgot to answer your question. When younger I preferred chunky (store-bought), but my teeth have deep crevices and I'm starting to lose them besides, so nowadays I prefer smooth.
I really oughta avoid the commercial brands and stick only with brands made only of peanuts and salt ‘cause I read (or heard) hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is in the commercial brands, is really bad for you but don’t remember why.
@pb1022 saidYeah, we had American cheese too when I was kid. What was that about? I'd be completely in favor of specific regional cheeses from the USA, but that was not that.
Blech. Never liked pickles and can’t imagine hot sauce going well with PB.
I used to eat PB, mayo and American cheese sandwiches and thought those were awesome. Haven’t had one in a while.
And gotta have a bread of substance - like multigrain - for a PB sandwich, though lately I try to confine myself to low-carb bread.
You know why PB and milk go well together? They apparently complement each other protein-wise. PB’s an incomplete protein.
Moving on, you might already know this, but I'll say it in an expository lump for the RHP massive: peanuts have a lot of the amino acid arginine, which promotes nitric oxide production (not nitrous, you clowns), and therefore has a vasodilatory effect -- not saying anyone should ditch their blood-pressure meds for peanut butter, but it's something to be aware of.
Also, on a tangent from that, it turns out that fish sauce and soy products such as tofu and soy sauce contain peptides that act as ACE inhibitors, similar to one class of meds prescribed to control blood pressure.

I should have included, as subtopics, whether people prefer PB with jelly on a sandwich and what they think of those jars where PB and jelly already have been mixed together.
I think PB and something called Fluffernutter (marshmallow?) was a thing way back when, but I never got into it.
But I am curious how PB made only with peanuts and salt has the same calorie count, if not a little higher, than commercial brands of PB that include sugar 🤔

@kevin-eleven saidInteresting! Didn’t know that. I pretty much ate PB every day as a kid.

One bloke I know enjoys stuffing his face with PB sandwiches when he’s bombed on ale.

@pb1022 saidCompletely get you re: having previously known some reasons and then later reducing some choices to: "nope, to be avoided, and I remember there was a good reason for that."

<<Hydrogenated oil is bad for you because it contains a high level of hydrogenated fats, called trans fats, that increase your risk of developing heart disease and other health problems. There are some foods that also naturally contain trans fats, but these kinds of fats the biggest problem when they come from artificial and processed sources, like hydrogenated oil.>>

@pb1022 saidThe episode is called Grandma Nussbaum, 1982. Fonzi and Chachi are concerned their grandma is too senile to take care of herself. Grandma Nussbaum's Nick name for Fonzi is Skippy lol
PB and relish sounds gross, but I never liked relish either.
I used to watch Happy Days when I was a kid and don’t remember that, though it’s definitely possible.
I didn’t Fonzie knew his father or maybe his father ran out on him when he was a kid. Obviously if his grandma knew him, he knew his father.
@pb1022 saidAs for me, I could see PB and red hot-pot sauce as a sandwich spread (and I think it might still be culinarily idiomatic in some region of China somewhere), but I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so would not go with jelly or even jam.

Hmm. Maybe some kinds of chutney. Or PB and now I'm not sure if it would be vegemite or marmite (which I understand are two completely different things).
However, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go for PB and Nutella -- just seems too twee, whatever twee means.

@gambrel saidThat’s hilarious. I can see the Fonz threatening people not to call him that and Ralph Malph saying, “Oh no, Fonz, never. Never. Skippy? Never heard it.”

@pb1022 saidThe weird thing is there might be some gamer out there with a biotank in his garage and a kitchen PCR who's thinking, "I could probably make an android that thrives on hydrogenated fats." 😉
Looked it up:

@pb1022 saidProbably because carbs have 5 calories per gram whereas fats and oils have 9 calories per gram? (if I remember correctly)
But I am curious how PB made only with peanuts and salt has the same calorie count, if not a little higher, than commercial brands of PB that include sugar 🤔

I'm sure they sell most of it for making fudge Nov-Jan then sales lagged. So they had a picture on the side of the jar, kids dressed as pirates eating PB & MM cream sandwiches.
Goober Grape by Bama was the most popular PBJ mix. You normally refrigerate jelly, but the PB gets too stiff and is hard to spread.
I like PB on a slice of white bread and honey on another piece of white bread sammy. The honey crystallizes the bread.
Space Food Sticks was a popular 60s-70s snsck. You can make PB ones yourself
Put a large amount of PB in a mixing bowl, add almost equal out of Corn syrup, add.powderd milk about 1/3 the amount of the PB. Then add ground cereal, usually wheat germ. Add just enough to absorb the oil in the PB.
Once you mix the PB and syrup it thickens and is hard to stir. A little heat in a microwave helps
@gambrel saidIf this is where this thread is headed, it probably won't be long before someone posts a recipe for homemade library paste.
