Peanut butter and mayo sandwich,...would you? Have you?

More and more I’m meeting people who have had and go on about this combination. My stepfather was the first, but since then, I’ve witnessed a few people liking them and even eating them regularly.

Now me, I like both. I love peanut butter and I really like mayo, ,although not enough to eat it by itself (whereas PB I could)…
…but the though of those two things together, those FLAVORS together…it seems to me like it would taste horrible. I haven’t ever tried it, though.
What am I missing here? Is it really that good? Have you had one before or regularly? WOULD you try one if offered?

I COULD make one right now, I have all the things to make it…
…but I’d worry it’d be wasted after one bite, that’s what has always stopped me from making/trying one.
I get it, I get it…taste combos.. salty sweet, etc ,etc, ..certain food combos work even if they might seem weird due to one taste bud going well with another…
…but, in my MIND, I already know very well how both of these things taste, and the thought of them at the same time seems odd in my mouth.

Sounds awful. Not only don’t the flavors go together, but they’re both high-fat ingredients. It seems like it would be greasy and indigestible. Ugh.

I have never tried mayonnaise. It wasn’t a thing used around the house in my childhood and I’ve never seeked it out since.

But the thread title made me think of an American Pie situation which, despite my not actually knowing what mayo tastes like, is something I would do before I would attempt eating that.

4

Absolutely not. Mayonnaise ruins everything it touches.

5

That’s my view. My wife, on the other hand, loves peanut butter and mayo together.

6

If you are worried about wasting such a sandwich, give the combo a try with some crackers.

I have not and would not, but you go ahead @Idle_Thoughts and when come back, bring report.

7

Or just mix some together on a spoon and try that.

And have some sort of palate cleanser ready. Like bleach. :slight_smile:

8

Do it at least monthly. And sometimes put pb on blts.

9

Well, I might try it for science. I like mayo and peanut butter, never tried them together.

10

That combination does not sound appealing to me whatsoever. But who knows, it might end up being good.

However a FB friend recently said that PB&J + cucumber sandwiches are good. I have not tried that yet.

& even a couple of things it only looks at, too.


Decades ago, my dad had a boss who, whenever he said he was going out to get lunch & did she want anything her response would be, “Get me whatever you’re getting.”
This pissed him off to no end. So one day he replied,

“I’m getting lox & jelly on white bread.”

She never again said, “Get me whatever you’re getting.”

12

I regularly eat one but I add a slice of cheese.

Its old school mid-west and depression era food.

13

Ahhhh, but is it genuine US Government Surplus Cheese ??

14

I came into possession of some homemade rice crispy bars today. Half regular and half chocolate. I put peanut butter and mayo on one of the chocolate ones. Two thumbs up!

15

I would not try it. My peanut butter sandwiches just have pb, no jelly.

16

I’ve tried PB&M (and enjoyed it)… but then, I’ve probably tried PB& [A through Z].

I love peanut butter enough to have it every day, and try it with anything. Currently, to cut back on carbs, I’m having PB&J, but instead of using bread, I’m dipping a carrot in peanut butter and marmalade.

18

I make grilled cheese/quesadillas with mayo both sides. I have made grilled PBJ with mayo both sides. Do not think I ever grilled a PBJ in a tortilla. I am a fan of mayo.

19

I know about peanut butter & banana sandwiches, and mayo & banana sandwiches.

But this is the first I’ve heard of a peanut butter & mayo sandwich, and I’m reporting it to the appropriate authorities.

20

I can see that. Like peanut butter in a celery stick.

As for pb&m? Ugh. I don’t really like mayo in general, and adding it to peanut butter sounds disgusting. And why? I’d much rather have just the peanut butter.

I grew up eating PB & M sandwiches, and I still have one from time to time if there is crappy white bread in the house. My brother introduced them to me when I was young. He was very specific about how they’re made, though. One slice of bread, PB on half of it, mayo on the other half, fold it over. He maintained that if you used two slices of bread and then cut the sandwich in half, all the flavor would run out. I make them that way to this day. He had the same theory about sardines, which had to be eaten with toothpicks or the same thing would happen.
