Pickles by Brian Crane for May 30, 2017

I don’t mind creamy PB or chunky PB, but I don’t like the PB that still has the peanut oil which you have to stir around.

I have just one word to say to you, Earl.

Nutella.

The decaf of peanut butter.

Natural PB…Just leave it on pantry shelf for couple days…..no stirring needed.

Buying any kind of peanut butter is a ridiculous waste of money.

Forgot to say “UPSIDE DOWN” for a couple days. No stirring required.

I buy creamy to make my Peanut Butter Balls. For everything else, I buy chunky. It is great on my PB&J sandwiches, or on a spoon straight out of the jar, or even on toast.

I feel the same way about OJ – buy it with the pulp.

I’ve alway been a creamy peanut butter nutter. I was brought up on Skippy ( my Dad’s favorite ) but somewhere along the line switched to Jiff.

Here in Ecuador, jars of peanut butter are expensive and hard to find, but you can buy the fresh, homemade versions, in plastic bags and containers cheaply in the mercados ( open markets ). Very popular for cooking but differs from jarred peanut butter, because it doesn’t have the sugars, additives and oils added. It’s more like a peanut paste.

Just remember: Man cannot live by bread alone….he must have peanut butter !

I’m with Earl. Why, why, for all things holy, would anyone buy smooth peanut butter?

I’m a chunky lover myself. I have it almost every morning on my bagel with honey and cinnamon.

I don’t like anything chunky…

I despise food nazis. Just thought I’d mention it.

I like my peanut butter whipped!

Or as I call it, “brown slime.” Just the smooth variety.

Peanut butter has to be chunky and contain the brown skins to be worthy of ending up in my cupboard.

I had no idea that there were people who didn’t like peanut butter. . .Do they still make Peter Pan Peanut Butter?

P.S. It IS the little things that can mar a relationship. . .course with Earl and Opal, there’s not much that doesn’t. . .

Peanut butter is like regular butter – smooth. If you want chunky, eat peanuts.

I prefer chunky but have to buy plain because it sticks in my teeth and then I have to dig it out. It tastes the same but it’s not as satisfying. I also prefer whole berry cranberry sauce to the smooth kind.

Real smooth, Earl.
