Slightly embarrassing - what to do with my peanut butter?

[dun1urkin]

I’m in my 40s
I’ve just bought my first jar of peanut butter and am ashamed to admit I’m feeling intimidated by it.
But fuck it, this is anonymous, so I thought I’d ask you all how to eat my peanut butter. Please give me your suggestions.

I’m not into baking, by the way, but am willing to try making something basic. Very basic.

I like peanut butter Hagen Dazs. A lot. Is peanut butter and ice cream a thing?

Should I just eat it on toast? Will it be claggy?

Is there a nice savoury thing I could try? I like chicken satay but wouldn’t order it IYSWIM

What’s the best way to eat it????

Thick proper bread toasted, butter then loads of peanut butter on top.

Peanut butter fingers

Mmmmmm off the spoon! Or on toast that has been buttered first. Possibly a bit of marmite first if that’s your thing. Or on apple.

Satay

WTF are peanut butter fingers? It sounds like one of those things that you’re scared to google...

White toast
Lots of real butter
PB

You may put a skiff of jam ( raspberry, seedless) on top too.

PB and J sandwich
White bread
Butter both sides
PB/ J ( again, raspberry seedless)
Cut diagonally.

Oo- meridian is a nice one!!

I've only bought it to use in a satay sauce. I've given baby it on toast just to make sure she doesn't have allergy but don't like it that much just in sauce.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches

Oops didn’t see the gif

I use it to temper spices in Indian and Thai cooking.

You can make really simple cookies with just peanut butter, an egg and sugar. There are recipes on the BBC Good Food website. They are VERY nutty!

@OohKittens

I like it in a jacket potato

This is dangerous, OP

Rice cakes, toast, sandwich, crackers, in stir fries, currys, or just from a spoon.

@Sauerkrauted

Not peanut butter and ham, JAM

My youngest ds went through a phase of eating only PB and ham sandwiches for lunch. Prior to that it was PB and cheese not envy...

On toast with jam - especially if you find the texture claggy.
On Apple slices
On celery

Yum.

Well I was planning on having my first McDonald’s tomorrow (not ever, but, you know, for a while) but I think I’d better crack it open

Best 2 options are peanut butter and strawberry jam white bread sandwich (no butter) - OR crunchy apple cut into thick slices and spread with peanut butter!

Inauthentic satay sauce recipe, super easy and v tasty.

2 teaspoons of garlic salt
2 heaped teaspoons of peanut butter
5 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon each of Worcester sauce, tomato ketchup and sweet chilli sauce
Half a cup of milk. About 100 ml.
Mix all well, start by slackening the PB with some milk then add the rest to get a smooth runny sauce. Job done.

My DS who is one likes it as 'dip dip' for his banana or actually on his banana split

crumpets!!! Literally salivating at the thought of buttery crumpets with a mound of PB! Bloody diet...

I love fresh bread with peanut butter, cheese and chutney. Yum.

For my school packed lunch I used to love peanut butter, cheese and lettuce sandwiches.

These days I love toast with butter, Bovril and peanut butter - super salty and delicious. I also eat it in porridge with banana.

I put a massive dollop of peanut butter in a bowl of granola with some milk every morning, and mix it all together. Absolute heaven to me.

Peanut butter cookies. Mix with sugar and one whole egg, whisk, roll into balls and flatten with a fork. Bake for twenty minutes and eat when cool.
