Food Slate - July 2009

Are you creamy or crunchy?

creamy crunchy peanut butter toast recipe

I need mooooore!

It's smooth and creamy versus rough/crunchy and creamy. Both taste as good but possibly only one is your preferred – I guess it depends on what you do with it...

No...no...nothing naughty here...

I can’t have peanuts, (it doesn’t agree with me) but thank goodness I can have peanut butter! Maybe because it's a paste; sort of half digested? Whatever it is, I looooove peanut butter – but make it creamy, please. (Apart from the fact that peanuts and I *disagree*) I detest the peanut bits, which spoils the smooth art of spreading and tends to create little holes on my nice slice of bread.

Besides peanut butter on toast, my other favourite thing to do is to cut up vegetable sticks and apple quarters to dip into peanut butter. A healthy energising snack – packed with protein, fibre and ‘heart healthy’ monosaturated fats.

My ultimate, sinful and ~~naughty~~ debaucherous thing to do with creamy peanut butter…spoonful(S) straight from the jar!

So, are you creamy or crunchy? How do you have it – what peanut butter snacking tips do you have?

Smooth all the way - can't stand the nut bits!
When I was at school mum used to make me peanut and raisin sandwiches - still love them!

But I love it also on a very hot crumpet.

One debate I occasionally have with friends - do you put butter on the toasted bread or just peanut butter on it's own as it is half butter anyway?

I am a no butter with peanut butter but some people sware by the alternative.

Definitely no butter with peanut butter toast! You can't taint it with the taste of butter!

Hmmm...peanut butter and raisin sandwiches, and with hot crumpet! Gotta try that.

So, that's creamy - 2, crunchy - 0

I love peanuts - and I thank God that I'm not allergic! But when it comes to peanut butter, creamy is usually my choice. I don't know why, but every once in a while (like once every 2-3 years) I like crunchy. My favorite way to eat peanut butter is on toast, but I like butter with it too. Something about the way they melt together -- mmmmm!

My husband likes peanut butter and banana sandwiches. That's just creepy to me, but I don't like bananas - can't stand the taste, smell, feel - yuck!

Oh - and I have been known to eat it by spoonfuls from the jar, as well!

<lol> Another person in the *anti* banana club! Jason and I can't stand it either -- for the same reasons!

Yea, I know people who love PB and banana sandwiches too! A colleague of mine has it like every week :- & correction...meant to say, every other day.

That's, creamy - 3, crunchy - 0

I'm definitely a fan of the peanut butter and banana sandwiches. . . but more often then not, I'm spotted digging into a jar of the delicious stuff armed with just a spoon and a strong addiction. Oh, and it's gotta be creamy. . . the peanuts just get in the way of the magnificence that is creamy peanut butter.

I must say the dig-in with the spoon is the ultimate snack...

Creamy in the lead with 4, with no takers for Crunchy...

Oh, you are all wimps...LOL. I am a crunchy nut fan all the way.

Eating it is an adventure, you don't know when your teeth are going to crunch on one of those tasty little lumps, how many are going to get stuck in your teeth and how lumpy it will feel!!

Simple snack I do with the kids, spread on bread (no butter here either) and roll the slice up into a cigar shape. Yu-umm

I like both but I prefer crunchy Peanut Butter...and believe it or not,I like it with margerine! I know...too fattening so I don't have it very often.

I'm also a fan of Peanut Butter by the spoonful,as a snack. Love bananas...not with Peanut Butter.

Would you believe a friend of mine always enjoyed her Peanut Butter sandwiches with crispy lettuce?

Creamy all the way... those peanut bits put holes in my bread! Grrrrsh.

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches... every once in a while peanut butter and butter on toast... or peanut butter and banana. (It's tasty.)

Awesome Food

crunchy for me...

my friend used to(maybe still does) cook the toast, spread the peanut butter(crunchy), then sliced tasty cheese on top, then under the grill til the cheese melts...

I was sceptical at first, but it tasted quite nice...

... although we were young and our eyes were quite red from "smoke inhalation"

Sam...'eating is an adventure', I agree but peanuts and I just *disagree*

Cute idea with the PB cigars!

Another *spoonful(s) fan*...fantastic isn't it, Deanna. Your friend has it balanced with less carbs and more fibre

Thank U, katyzzz...Morgan...Tracy. You ladies have just propelled Crunchy to the lead with 5, Creamy at 4!

On toast, it has to be crunchy
On waffle or pancake, creamy

Creamy, has to be creamy for me. I love classic PB&J, on celery and carrots. I also love PB and banana. I occasionally like PB and chips! It does make a great all purpose dip.

Crunchy remains at 8, while Creamy climbs to 7...
