Peanut butter and Jam?

For breakfast, Og eats:

Thick bacon
Thick slices of potatoes fried in grease
Eggs fried in grease
All of the above drenched with maple syrup

For lunch, Og eats:

Cruchy peanut butter spread thickly on white bread with honey added
And a large glass of very cold buttermilk

For dinner, Og eats:

People who slander peanut butter, honey, jam or jelly, maple syrup, white bread and buttermilk.

My favorite trick was to use natural peanut butter and mix the honey in.

Natural honey, if left to sit, will form a centimeter or two of oil on top. Open the jar, pour the oil out. Warm honey (for about 20 seconds in microwave) ans pour in the jar. Mix with a knife (easier to cut and move around) until creamy. It doesn’t separate, and tastes, well, it tastes just about as good as anything can taste that is made up of fat, carbos and protein. It is a bit thick, so room temperature is preferably, if not warm.

Amen. Praise the Lord and pass the PB&Bs.

The minute I get home I’ve got to fry up some bacon and put syrup on it. Haven’t had that in years! Mmm.

Also, grape jelly is okay, but you really want homemade strawberry preserves.

Suffering polecats :eek:

I’m not surprised he’s in a bad mood most of the time, his cholesteral level must be touching fatal :wink:

Aha! That must be it! Here, we have no kid-culture of PB&J sandwiches, but of course I had heard about the concept when I was a kid, and so with gleeful anticipation I tried to compile one. With tastebuds all atremble with anticipation, I sank the fangs in and…

…meh. I really wanted to like it. Just… didn’t. Maybe that’s why - ratshit recipe. And I must add that my sense of taste has not been ravaged by childhood years of Vegemite consumption, so my gastronomic credibility is still intact (at least to that extent).

No no no, y’all need to have an OPEN FACED PB&J to fully appreciate the PB&J-ness.

Best recipe, discovered in my college years (as all things are):

Toast two pieces of Home Pride Butter Top wheat bread.

Slather BOTH pieces with PB. Jif and Skippy work best. Mmmmmm…melty.

Now add a dollup of grape jelly to each piece. Spread carefully–that melty PB is tricky.

Grab each piece and savor each bite…you get twice the PB, twice the jelly, plus the crunchy and the melty. YUM!

Or, for our friends over the pond, you’ll like this: cut into bite size pieces, and use a fork.

Don’t forget the milk! Ice cold huge glass of milk is a necessity.

Yummy!

BIG favorite of mine when preggo. And apparently, right about…NOW.

– all peanut butter should be crunchy, if not chunky.

– all bread should be whole-grain.

– all jams / jellies / preserves should be made by grandma (not necessarily my or your grandma, but at least, someone’s grandma.)

– jam (or jelly) is a most respectable addition to a pb sammich in any situation.

– substitution of jam / jelly with banana &/or honey as an addition to a pb sammich should only be made when one has been a really really good boy or girl of late, and is deserving of a treat.

– a peanut butter sammich with no additions should be eaten only when poverty or bad behaviour remove the option of tasty goodness.

Ooops, I completely missed it, but since I independently said almost exactly the same as you, that just proves you’re squarely in the right, doesn’t it?

I might check this out as I’m planning to visit Oxford to help with your crayfish problem at some time in the future.

But aha! Your brown sauce is a sweet syrup by any other name, and one based on tamarinds at that. Quod erat demonstrandum, you are wrong as a wrong thing.

Proper maple syrup, by the way, isn’t all that sweet. The best stuff you can get over here (outside of a deli) is the Canadian stuff available in M&S. Avoid all that imported Aunt Jemima artificial nonsense.

It is the best validation a man could want.

(And if you fancy a crayfishing partner, give us a shout.)

I might well take you up on that; do you know the good spots to catch them?

The best bread for a PB&J is challa - fresh challa, not the kind that comes in a bag. Although there’s also something to be said for fresh pita.

Incidentally, if your bread isn’t that fresh, you can use a sandwich maker - toasted sandwiches filled with hot peanut butter and jelly can be delicious, if a bit runny.

Peanut butter is available in smooth, crunchy and whole nut varieties here; the only ones labelled as ‘creamy’ are imported (and they’re more or less the same as our ‘smooth’.

I’m being given a map - it’s a bend in the river, somewhere in the middle of Port Meadow, near the Perch pub. Sounds lovely.

Ah… a pub… ideas are beginning to crystallise…

Listen, people, it’s peanut butter on both slices of bread, and the jelly (or strawberry preserves) in the middle! Jelly should not touch bread!

JJimm

Methinks you err sirra!!

You are referring to “Fruity” brown which does indeed have tamarind.

It is thou who is wrong as wrong can be.

My original statement stands as is…Bacon and ** Spicey **brown :slight_smile:

Can you provide a link to this alleged spicy brown sauce then, or I shall have you doing lines.

And the great armies of HP and Daddies did do fierce and terrible battle…

Not to mention that abomination that is YR.
