Peanut Butter and Jelly of the Month Club. Warning: Annoying flash intro. But cool idea for a yearlong gift!

  • oh good lord. and here i thought that web site's intro was annoying. ha!
  • I was actually kind of interested in this (half my lunches are PB&J), until I read the following: The Peanut-Butter-Of-The-Month Club: $119.95/yr. The Jelly-Of-The-Month Club: $129.95/yr. The Peanut-Butter-And-Jelly-Of-The-Month Club $249.95/yr. That's some expensive damn peanut butter.
  • I love peanut butter a lot more than the next guy, but I'll just stick with my Smucker's Old Fashioned. It is DA BOMB.
  • but you guys, they collect the finest, most unique, most delicious original peanut butters and jellies in the universe. in the UNIVERSE. Saturn PB&J kicks major planetary ass, i've heard. (i heart jif myself. eat it straight out o' the jar. mmmmmmmm. peanut butter and Miracle Whip is yummy too for a sammich)
  • Elvis's Peanut Butter & Banana sandwich recipe mmm, imma make me one of those sammiches tonight.
  • Didn't Elvis also put bacon on his PB&Bs? S'wot I heard, anyway.
  • I goes for the Simply Jif. Lower sugar, actually tastes like peanuts. On this I spread my mom's homemade blackberry jelly. And now that my home has acquired a bread machine, my lazy ass (okay, my wife's lazy ass) is actually making bread to spread it on.
  • wow SideDish, I thought my grandmother was the only one to relish the flavor combo of peanut butter and miracle whip (though she used mayonaisse). tried it myself once and thought it OK, but weird.
  • oooo mid, i'll take that with: Hazelnut Coffee Jelly: This jelly is made from hazelnut coffee and is reduced to a spread-able treat. Great blended with cream cheese or spread on a bagel.
  • My nominations for perfect the jelly combination with peanut-butter is either jalapeño pepper jelly or good ol' Sriracha sauce. Next time I'm in NYC, I'm going here to try an Elvis-style peanut-butter sandwich myself in a proper restaurant. I think they're also available at Graceland. Didn't Elvis also put bacon on his PB&Bs? I'm not sure about the bacon thing, maybe the bacon grease recommended on the Splendid Table recipe is a stand-in.
  • Best peanut butter in the world is peanuts, freshly crushed. You can get have them ground at some health food stores; for Canucks, Loblaws sells it pre-packages as "Just peanuts", which is pure peanut butter. Ingrediants: Just peanuts. No extra sugar, no extra nothing. With gooseberry jam.
  • *pre-packaged. (and that was a suggestion to eat it with gooseberry jame, not that it comes with it. Things pre-mixed in your peanut butter is just damn weird.)
  • goosberry jame sounds good.
  • gooseberry jam. made from real ground geese. yum.
  • Best peanut butter in the world is peanuts, freshly crushed. You can get have them ground at some health food stores; for Canucks, Loblaws sells it pre-packages as "Just peanuts", which is pure peanut butter. Ingrediants: Just peanuts. No extra sugar, no extra nothing. Smucker's Natural is like this too. Ingredients: Peanuts, Salt. Faaaaaaabulous. I saw something on the food channel not long ago about PB--I think it was "Peanut Butter Unwrapped," and they featured a cafe in NY that served only PB&Js, but lots of different kinds. I think one was a "Hot n' Spicy Peanut Butter" (think convenience store 'hot peanuts', crushed) and jalapeno jelly. I want some.
  • Not the geese, just the berries. Takes aboot 100 geese per jar.
  • Has anyone tried one of the Army MRE PB&J sandwiches? I think they are supposed to be safe to eat for like 75 years or something. That scares the hell out of me.
  • Tenacious Pettle: Maybe, though even salt might be too much of an additive. You need the nakedness of the peanut in your mouth for true ecstasy.
