To think this behaviour is unacceptable?

I'm an ordinary person, who likes most things, but AIBU to think that smooth peanut butter is just wrong and the people who eat it surely come from a different planet, even to men? I think they must definitely come from Uranus. It is just unacceptable behaviour from a "so say" (using fingers to emphasise the " ") human being to like such a thing. What are your thoughts?

Smooth is the best, with jam on bread. I had that at work yesterday. Perfect lunch.

YANBU, OP. Smooth peanut butter is the stuff that gives people the fear of it sticking to the roof of your mouth (arachibutyrophobia).

Crunchy peanut butter with nutella on toast: double hit of nutty goodness.

Add cream cheese to that marmite and (crunchy) peanut butter toast MadamDeathstare and you have a true food of the Gods.

I have got to try this, on a bagel.

If I want to crunch a peanut, I buy peanuts. Peanut butter should always be smooth. Like butter. Butter is smooth. I'd be furious if there were crunchy lumps in my lurpak.

Lurkedforever1 · 05/08/2016 17:15

viper I put just cheese and butter on my jam and peanut butter sandwiches Grin

Oakmaiden · 05/08/2016 17:21

I used to be a crunchy fan, but now prefer my peanut butter smooth.

Marmite is best eaten with cheese.

tofutti · 05/08/2016 17:33

YANBU. Smooth peanut butter tastes really bad. It should taste like the crunchy stuff but smoother. but no, it just tastes off.

I think people who like smooth peanut butther must also hate OJ with bits and other textured stuff.

Vipermisnomer · 05/08/2016 17:52

Lurked I might try that, extra cheese with the pbj obviously. Does that mean you are eating theoretical sandwiches? I hope it was strawberry jam?

HSMMaCM · 05/08/2016 18:32

DD moved from crunchy to smooth when she got her braces. When she had them off, the first thing she asked for was crunchy peanut butter and a whole apple

Lurkedforever1 · 05/08/2016 18:39

viper I can cope with the idea of having theoretical strawberry jam on my nice cheese sandwich. I don't really like jam but neither do I dislike it, so I am gracious enough to accept that others enjoy jam. But even theoretical peanut butter is not allowed to corrupt my food, it is just wrong on every level and not to be tolerated!

OldBeanbagz · 05/08/2016 18:41

Peanut butter is vile and even worse - someone thought fit to put it into mini Magnums!

Cashew nut butter on the other hand is lovely (and smooth).

Friolero · 05/08/2016 18:54

Totally agree OP, peanut butter has to be crunchy. I eat it straight from the jar, who needs toast?

Ameliablue · 05/08/2016 18:59

All peanut butter is unreasonable.

NickiFury · 05/08/2016 19:02

I like ALL peanut butter. I like going on holiday to America because there are so many peanut butter flavoured things to choose from out there, they are obsessed with it, even peanut butter snickers. But the one peanut butter I cannot abide is "Jiffy" peanut butter, the creamy one. It is actually more like icing than anything else, with a very slight peanut flavour. Grim.

Sunpat crunchy is my peanut butter of choice. Just the right amount of salt.

MatildaTheCat · 05/08/2016 19:02

If I had to chose one dish only to eat for the whole of the rest of my life it would be crunchy peanut butter on crisp toast. I adore it. I can eat spoonfuls whilst waiting for the toast to do.

Sadly I cannot keep it in the house due to this addiction Sad.

Marmite is a very good alternative and also nice with crushed banana on toast.

mrswishywashy1 · 05/08/2016 19:17

I love crunchy peanut butter but I buy smooth Blush because I can't spread the crunchy one Smile

hellinabreadbasket · 05/08/2016 19:28

Yanbu - crunchy peanut butter on seeded bread toast is basically the only food you'd ever need!

GirlWithTheLionHeart · 05/08/2016 19:30

*I can't eat whole nuts so it's the only type I can eat•

What does that mean?

HopefulHamster · 05/08/2016 19:40

When I was a kid crunchy peanut butter on crackerbread was a lunch from the gods. Utterly awesome. I just have it on toast now. Still fab.

yorkstonepatio · 05/08/2016 19:43

It depends on whether or there is palm oil lurking in the jar. Meridian has none, and the smooth version is the food of the gods. The crunchy is ok, but just ok. The Whole Earth version I have found has palm oil (I think they do have one without), and the smooth version is a sticky cloying gag inducing paste. It needs crunch to make it even remotely palatable. As for SunPat smooth, urghhhhhh.

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 05/08/2016 19:46

LeslieKnope how does that work? 'Cause peanut butter contains the mushed-up whole bits whether it's crunchy or smooth...
