Peanut butter.

[vash]

I bought one, my hippie wife bought the other.

The ingredients between the two are amazing. One dollar difference. The flavor, debatable. The organic jar taste just like a mouthful of peanuts.

I like the fancy real stuff.

[VINMAN]

I live on peanut butter. Yeah, Skippy does taste way better, but I mostly use Trader Joe's unsalted natural PB

[dan88911]

It's the sugar ,hydrogenated oil and added salt that's bad for you.
With the organic the added salt. I buy unsalted. Yeah, I know salt makes it taste better.
I like to avoid added salt. Food companies pump up everything with salt.

Salt, sugar & fat seem to be the 3 major food groups these days.
This stuff can lead to high blood pressure and obesity.

Goober is my fav.
Peanut butter and jelly in the same jar.
Don't know if it's a regionally marketed product.
One jar per sitting. Opened = empty.

Peter Pan creamy for me...

[futurefun]

Adam's unsalted crunchy on toasted PBJ with sliced banana is a great backup for oatmeal in the morning.

[wdfifteen]

It's gotta be crunchy, and the more it tastes like ground up peanuts the better. I do like the homogenized kind, but it's got hydrogenated oil in it so I usually get the plain kind.

[Evans, Marv]

Jiff or Peter Pan creamy for me as a favorite, but I seldom buy them. If possible, Trader Joe's has a really good tasting natural peanut butter. I prefer that. We eat a lot of peanut butter on English muffins in the mornings.

Absolutely, the natural P-Butter is the only way to go: nothing but roasted peanuts and a little salt and it tastes just like eating a handful of roasted peanuts. However, stirring in the oil in a newly opened jar is a pain in the ....

And if you want chemicals, check out the ingredients in the light peanut butter ??

Man, there are days when a PB&J on white bread just fits the bill.... Creamy peanut butter, strawberry jam, buttermilk white bread......I'm gonna go make me a sammy :--)

Yep... note the second ingredient on the skippy jar is sugar.

Also agree all food we buy is pumped with salt and sugar, I am guilty of indulging in bad food... but I try to avoid gratuitous S&S every chance I can.

A long, long, long time ago I did an experiment and kept no sugar or salt in the house... after a few weeks everything I ate tasted salty and/or sweet. Amazing (or sad) how desensitized our taste buds are.

[Oh Haha]

we aren't an organic family so I haven't tried that PB.

I love PB right from the jar. I have purchased most brands including the cheap dollar store versions. I usually buy 2 jars of the smaller size so that a standard table spoon can be used for enjoying from the jar. Too big of container and you risk PB getting on the hand or the neck of the utensil. I HAVE used a spatula but something is "off" if not using a spoon. Yes, a wooden spoon could be used but then you risk splinters in your tongue.

For me, Peter Pan creamy is the best. Good flavor and very smooth texture.

Velvet is good but I don't know that it is available nationally.

JIF creamy, I don't really care what's in it, I like the taste and have eaten anything I want for 50 years now with low cholesterol, normal weight, and plenty of energy.

[Tobra]

Home made jelly is the way to go for the PG&J, partial to pomegranate, or a mix of that with something else, blackberry maybe, or strawberry.

I don't eat a lot of peanut butter, but it is usually Skippy chunky. Ate a LOT of toast with peanut butter and honey when I was cycling all the time. Fast, protein, sugar.

[Rick V]

Crunchy, a box of herb triscuits, and a tall glass of OJ on ice, oh yeah

[flatbutt]

Sugar,salt and fat...the holy trinity of fast foods.

[scottmandue]

I like Laura Scudder's, to each their own but prefer just peanuts in my peanut butter.

I suppose you whiskey n coke drinkers think you like the taste of whiskey too.

[LeeH]

My favorite is fresh ground. Unfortunately, the store close to us that had a grinder took it out when they remodeled.

Wayne - I used to feel the same way then discovered a device known as a "spreader"! Try it - you'll like it!

YES triscuits...there ya go.......but try the Strawberry Quik, Rick! Mmmm....

I usually just get the Peter Pan creamy but sometimes crunchy to change it up. It's all good!

Smooth JIF on original Nibisco Graham Crackers with a cold glass of milk. I've been know to get in the car and run to the store for a box when we're out.
