I am currently on the creamy phase and have not tried the weird and wonderful variations yet. The wife returned from a business trip to Kuala Lumpur in the week and my customary gift this round was my foodie magazine, BBC Good Food and something I have not seen before, Julies Peanut Butter Sandwich.
Julie's is a Malaysian biscuit company and what makes these biscuits different. Well, it's basically peanut butter stuffed between two salticrax biscuits. Sounds weird but actually works very well together and taste really nice. Go on I dare you, take some salticrax and try it with peanut butter.
Peanut butter is a versatile product. I like it plain on toast or fresh bread with syrup, topped with syrup and grated cheddar cheese, on crumpets, peanut butter banana bread (my own recipe) and off course topped with jam. Chocolate and peanut butter sweets is a match made in heaven and I love Hersheys
Reminds of a colleague (This is the honest truth) who one morning in the office made the following revelation, There is no peanuts in peanut butter and she actually believed it. Wake up girl.
Americans consume 700 million pounds of peanut butter annually and technically peanuts are not nuts, Aztec's ground them to a paste some 500 million years ago and peanut butter is an effective bait for mouse traps. 75% of American homes have a jar of peanut butter and one acre of peanuts will make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut butter is a excellent source of vitamins and protein. 2 tablespoons contain up to 200 calories.
Lets not forget about the ultimate peanut butter fanatic, The King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley. His favourite, The ultimate fried Peanut butter, Banana & Bacon sandwich. Can not be good for your health if you eat lots of these little buggers.
Affectionately known as "the Elvis", he is rumoured to consume 12 - 15 sandwiches in a single sitting. Here is a link to the recipe you want to try it. The Elvis
A little Tribute to the King.
Even "Angels" and Brad Pitt loves peanut butter.
Taking a mini break the next 4 days. Enjoy the weekend and "Cyber Chat" on Tuesday.
I!ve tried every peanut butter there is and it doesn!t make any difference if it is Soy Nut or Pea Nut it all got the same amount of fat with in 1 or 2 grams and that peanut butter you have to mix the oil in with it most worthless crap in the world if I was going to pre-mix I would use honey but if you really want a kick-butt sandwish you have to use a fry pan. Butter one side of bread have Fry pan on low lay it in Butter side down of course then butter top side bread but wait until bottom side becomes golden brown then flip and wait and when its done let cool little bit test b4 large bite
