Peanut butter

[matticus]

Nuts vary a lot nutritionally. I believe peanuts contain much the same stuffs as other nuts, and are further from (baked) beans. But both groups are good protein sources (generally better for us than meat protein).

I believe (don't mock if I'm wrong) that peanuts are not nuts but beans. Therefore peanut butter on toast is really beans on toast without the sauce.

Their legumes.

PBJ sandwiches are my go to sandwiches... I pick smooth over crunchy.

Love it. I have it in my breakfast smoothie and I sometimes smear a bit on apple slice.

There used to be a peanut better factory quite close to where I live. Pretty whiffy!

I like it, can also be used for brightening up faded black plastic trim on cars.

That is the only time in my life I bought a jar, smooth was sold out so I used crunchy. It worked.

The Aldi almond butter is quite tasty.
I usually have peanut butter on multigrain or granary bread but it is one if those things that just goes well with squishy square white bread. The others being marmite and leuttice, crisp and tomato ketchup and of couse fish fingers.

Content warning ...

There was a BBC series many years ago called Tenko, about a group of Western women in a Japanese internment camp in 1942. In one scene, the women are sent to clean out the latrines as a punishment. It was, er, very realistic. When asked in an interview how they set the scene up and what they used as the, er, stuff they had to scrape out, one of the actresses (Stephanie Beacham?) said "oh, it was quite pleasant; we used crunchy peanut butter!" Genius, when you think about it.

I can never see PB without thinking of this. Having said that, I love the stuff and I only limit the amount I have because I am trying to lose weight and it is very high in calories. PB and 'jelly' (jam) sandwiches are the food of the Gods, a wonderful sweet/savoury mixture. And thick, crunchy PB on toasted sourdough is .. beyond wonderful.

For a cycling energy boost, I heartily recommend PB spread on Soreen malt loaf. Every food group known to science, right there in your sticky fingers.

Tried it in my porridge a few years ago while camping, think it was basic smooth Sun Pat brand.
Not bad at all.

Can't get enough. Nothing beats a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Alas out comes the spoon and it don't last long. I have been trying tigernut "butter" recently. Superb, although you do have to stir it for while. I often add peanut powder to my smoothies as a change from vanilla protein powder.

Love it - had it with cheese in a sandwich for lunch

I need to give that a try.

Sticky chicken

Recipe please

 

[Notafettler]

I cook something similar with leeks, sweet potatoes, curry powder, spinach and dollops of PB. Proper comfort food.

Again recipe please. I am hammered with leeks at the moment and probably for the rest of the year.

Love it.
In fact it's a key part of my home made cycling energy snack.
So have done some serious miles on it.
Way better than the stuff you can buy.
