> [@Kozmik](#): > > Grilled cheese and pickle, good. Peanut butter and pickkle, ugh, no. I saw that article today. What are people thinking? It actually really is good. I last made it with habanero butter pickles. It was pretty awesome. Try it before you diss it. ---

I grew up eating creamy peanut butter with hamburger dill chips on whole wheat (didn’t grow up on whit bread at all). The pickles add a nice tang and crunch to the sandwich. As far as PB&M goes, I’ve always found them meh. ---

Anything with mayo is better. Anything. As long as it’s Duke’s. None of the other stuff can be considered mayonnaise. ---

My step father eats peanut butter, mayo and iceberg lettuce sandwiches. The man won’t touch a tomato or a quesadilla or “strange-shaped pasta,” but he devours peanut butter-mayo-iceberg lettuce sandwiches like they’re birthday cake. I get queasy just thinking about it. ---

My wife ate peanut butter and pickle sandwiches as a kid because they were Oscar the Grouch’s favourite sandwich. I can’t bring myself to try one. Mayo is equally out of the question. ---

As a kid, I used to love PB, banana and cream cheese sandwiches, until I developed some kinda PB allergy. ---

> [@brossa](#): > > My dad would eat PB&P sandwiches to try to gross me out when I was young. Somewhere along the line I picked up the habit of an occasional peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwich. I believe that MW is sweeter than regular mayo, so it’s kindasorta closer to jelly in that respect. I enjoy the PB&MW, but my kids think that it’s gross, so I revel in their discomfort just like dear old Dad did. My dad’s favorite sandwich was a PB,P&M sandwich. I’m not saying it was his favorite because of our reaction, but he certainly reveled in our reaction to him eating one. I am kind of adventurous when it comes to food, but I could never bring myself to have a bite of one. > [@pulykamell](#): > > It actually really is good. I last made it with habanero butter pickles. It was pretty awesome. Try it before you diss it. But, I find that intriguing. I love spicy Thai peanut sauce, so that might be up my alley. OTOH, mayo on a peanut butter sandwich just seems beyond the pale. I think I know how Australians feel when they hear about PB&J’s. I know that I slather mayo all over a bacon sammich, but that’s to cut the extreme saltiness of the bacon, and we’ve already crossed any semblance of low fat when we started heating up the skillet. ---

PB and Mayo is delicious. For a triad of greatness though, also add Tabasco sauce. The vinegary tang adds just the right notes over the savoriness. Of course, this must all be done on hearty wheat bread. ---

> [@Cyros](#): > > My wife ate peanut butter and pickle sandwiches as a kid because they were Oscar the Grouch’s favourite sandwich. I can’t bring myself to try one. Mayo is equally out of the question. Huh. I did not remember that about Oscar. I ate peanut butter and pickle sandwiches as soon as I was allowed to make my own sandwiches. My mother would not make them for me because she was revolted by the idea, but she figured if I made them and ate them, it was okay. I haven’t had a pb&p in many, many years.
