I Have My Peculiarities When It Comes to Peanut Butter
It’s a love-hate relationship
March 1: Peanut Butter (Lovers) Day. Tell us about your love of peanut butter, and how this love started? Conversely, write about your unadulterated hatred of peanut butter. What happened to make you hate it so much? Do you have any combinations you love? Or recipes?
I love smooth peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches, especially when I hike. Nothing is more satisfying than eating after hiking for a couple of hours. I actually crave it by then.
My friend Trish told me she eats smooth peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches. I tried it and liked it. I eat it at home; the hikes are only good with grape jelly, though.
Never, ever, ever give me chunky peanut butter, though. I ate that my whole childhood, and I’ve done my penance for it.
Don’t make me a peanut butter smoothie. Just the thought of one makes me gag. I am so glad I don’t have to suffer through a peanut butter martini, being that I’m not a drinker anymore. Peanut butter was not meant to be in a liquid form.
Don’t put a spoonful of peanut butter up to my face because I won’t eat it. Just thinking about it getting caught on the roof of my mouth makes me gag.
