Peanut butter and other things we get wrong

[AngelicInnocent]

OK so I really like things like reeses with peanut butter in but when I have bought peanut butter and put it on bread, it's the most claggy, odd sensation and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but what?

I'm a grown ass adult so should be capable of making a sandwich. Please enlighten me.

Also feel free to add things you need enlightenment on.

Have you tried it on toast? Seeded bread is best.

You have it with jam, that's the trick.
And also must be crunchy not smooth.

This. Only ever have it on toast.

Are you using crunchy peanut butter? Smooth is the IMO disgusting 😂. Every now & again I add jam to my peanut butter sandwich, delicious

Use loads of butter and it's better with a drink

Yes only on toast.

Butter first. Better on toast.
I make DS peanut butter and jam sandwiches but I can't bring myself to try it myself

Have to have jam with it on granary toast

I've heard of it with jam (ie pb and j) but honestly haven't tried it. I was out off after trying it by itself.

Yep - either on toast, butter first.
Or bread with jam

What sort of PB do you use? The Reeses filling they call a peanut butter creme and it has tons of sugar and antioxidants. If you use natural PB it wont taste the same no matter what you do. But yes to putting it on hot toast.

Jam and butter both make it easier to eat.

I love it personally, smooth or chunky, I don't normally bother with bread I just eat it.

It's also good on celery

Try it with marmite

Yeah, you need toast and butter.

Oh so I need to get crunchy. That might be a game changer. I assumed smooth for a sandwich

I agree with adding the jam, I like the lighter flavours, gooseberry etc.

Has to be 100 percent peanuts and on toast with a sprinkle of cinnamon - less yucky then and the toast gives it some body

Make sure it's nice peanut butter.
As above, better on toast or wholemeal/seeded.

Whole Earth crunchy is delicious.

Crunchy is where its at

As you are in this mental space, please could you make two more sandwiches. One with sandwich spread, one with haslet.

I was crazy about them as a kid. I'd like it confirmed to me as an adult that they really are as disgusting as they look to me now.

Be brave. I'm not.

Thank you

It’s amazing with porridge and banana or in a banana milkshake as well.

The peanut butter used in confectionery isn’t the same as you get in a jar.

I agree that jam helps cut through the claggy-ness. However, I wouldn’t ever have it on just bread. It would be on toast. I find it being warmed by toast better, so only have it on toast.

OK. Gonna give this another try then. I will invest in a jar of crunchy and apply to one slice of hot doorstep toast with butter and one slice with butter and jam.

That's my lunch sorted for tomorrow 😀

PB&J or PB with honey. Still staples for me, despite being a full-grown adult.

Top it with pickles (pickled cucumbers). The acidity cuts through the grease and the combination is great. Got it from Sue Grafton’s ABC detective novels!
