Try substituting cream cheese for the peanut butter. YUM!
Plain ol’ slightly stale bread, soaked in an eggy custard then slooooowly, cunningly toasted in an almost-dry pan until golden. Just slightly lacy-crispy on the outside, tender and melting on the inside, with puddles of melted butter on top.
(Okay, okay, I eat it with generous sprinkles of salt and a splash or five of Tabasco. Deluded people can ::shudders:: resort to powdered sugar and maple syrup.)

How do you make a PBJ sandwich?
Chocolate chilli
Zoe, you hadda be joking about sugar on grits, right? You don’t really put sugar on grits, do you? If you do, stop! it! now!
We call that “Jezebel dip” and put it on crackers!! YUM!
Beets. I used to hate them, until I spent a semester in Russia and had no choice in the matter. The reason: too many people in this country eat the canned ones! Eeeeew! Why? Fresh ones cook quickly in the microwave, and are even better baked in tinfoil in the oven. Yummy!
Also, when I was abroad, I would have done just about anything for mac and cheese with tuna mixed in. That, or PB&J on nice, fresh, crusty whole wheat bread. The PB&J later became a favorite late-night snack while pulling all-nighters writing research papers. (So did oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon.) All ingredients are staples that can be kept around the house for many months without going bad (if you keep the bread in the freezer, anyway).
Must not be a Merkin.
It’s quite easy. Take a piece of bread, spread some peanut butter on it. Take another piece of bread, spread some jelly (or jam or preserves whatever you prefer) on that. Put them together to form a delicious sandwich.
Quick note: if you are not an American or a Canadian, I suspect your peanut butter will likely suck. Try and find an American brand like Skippy or Jiff in the store, and you will be in for a treat.
Or even better, find a place that grinds its own! (Or do stores outside the U.S. not do that?) Or I guess you could do it yourself in a food processor…fresh roasted peanuts, plus a little peanut oil, salt, or sugar to taste. Waaaaay better than the canned stuff!
Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup.
The Progresso soup commercials are full of crap. I really don’t care what the fine print says about surveys and “adult” preferences. I don’t want all those extra veggies which ruin the soup. If I wanted vegetable soup, I would buy/make vegetable soup!
Oh, yeah, one more thing.
Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup along with two bologna sandwiches, cut down the middle (not diagnol). That way you can dip the half sandwich into the soup to soak up the juice. What’s left are the noodles and chicken pieces to eat with a spoon, even a fork!
yep, 'twas what I was talking aboot. Ever try fresh King salmon?,it doesn’t even have to be king, it could any fresh salmon…
Who are all these people who don’t like fish? I’ve never actually met one, are they all hiding out in the Midwest or something? And what on earth are “beef cheeks”?
And I agree about the grits. Mmmm, pure starch.
I know several people who don’t like fish. It’s not that rare. In fact, I have one friend who doesn’t like soup. Period.
Thanks. Would any kind of bread do?
In theory, yes.
In practice, however, I’d go with a non-sourdough white, but not too crusty. Italian would be nice, I think. Wheat is not too bad, either. I’d avoid ryes and sourdoughs, as their taste tends to not go so well with the peanut butter and jelly. But that’s just me, YMMV.
My number one favourite food is spaghetti. With lots of sauce and paremesan cheese. I’d eat it every day if all those excess carbs didn’t fatten me up to John Candy proportions.
Also, I don’t think anyone truly appreciates the awesome power of Black Forest cake. I start drooling uncontrollably just thinking about it. Just ask my wife.
My girlfriends son for one,hmm come to think of it he grew up eating fish also, now he wont touch it.
Sadly its more common than you think.They could be your neighbors fercrissakes!
Can’t help you there
Someday I need to try the stuff…
Never cared for fish myself. My seafoord menus are generally limited to New England clam chowder and shrimp.
I just don’t like fish. I used to think Bolonga & Ketchup was good when I was wee one, though.
Mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs in it! Yummy!
God, I can’t eat seafood at all. Lobster? - Ocean cock-roaches. The smell can completely put me off my own food.
I will cook it for my wife. I’ll do a steak, she can have the salmon.
Underrated food?
Hmmm. Tomatoes with salt. Some cheese on the side and maybe some hot peppers.
