My grandmother _loves_ peanutbutter and tomatoes. Yuk. I love tomatoes, and I love peanutbutter, but often mixing two good things is not a good idea.

Blegh.

ok, this needs a little prep:

1. get 30-40 chickens form the really cheap industrial food pantry in your local metropolitan area. the older and nastier, the better.

2. in a church commercial kitchen boil 50Gal tanks and throw chickens in - NO seasoning!!!

3. when fully cooked, remove and drain.

4. use meat for various casserole dishes to feed homeless, church members, hated enemies, etc.

5. take (now congealed and cold) chicken skin and give to children of Church members to have as a TREAT!! (yes, they called it a treat!)

6. place on stale government wonder bread type substance  
[thius is technically a violation of the OP as Wonder bread is a far superior product to this sawdusty, chewy and unevenly ground wheat(I presume) substance]

7. add two part govt margarine.  
(what? you’ve never seen the industrial grade margarine you have to mix like epoxy that the govt uses for its mass feeding programs?) poor you…not

8. eat and chase with the 1 ounce liquid little creamers that you steal from the coffee area.

Sad but true part of my childhood…and people wonder why I am so obsessed with having good food and plenty of it at all times…

“I spent 10 whole days in Jerusalem…  
And all I ate was olives  
Lots of olives  
Mountains of olives  
Olives on sandwiches  
It was a good 10 days.  
I like olives!”

When I was a kid, I once made a sandwich with peanut butter, grape jelly, ham, baloney, salami, liverwurst, fake American cheese and butter on white bread. I don’t remember what it tasted like, but I did eat the whole sandwich.

This would stick to the roof of your…?

In my youth I was partial to peanut butter and bologna sandwiches. Not sure if this is gross or not.

I didn’t know Herman, Lily, Grampa and the gang were in the cheese business, but it sounds pretty gross.
