Title says it all. Keep it clean. No wait, keep it sticky.

Ok, bad phrasing, scratch that all together.



Given the option, what's your go to peanut butter mate?

Fluff is so awful...but sooooo good. I picked up some healthier version (I hesitate to phrase it that way) from Whole Foods recently and it's not bad. A lot more expensive, but a more than adequate substitute for a substance that's basically all sugar and has no nutritional value.

If it has to be "jelly" then it's usually strawberry jam. Even better, Wildtree's Strawberries & Dark Chocolate jam. YUM!

a jar of strawberry jelly and a spoon for me please!

Fluff - well the 1st bite or two keeps the taste buds happy, after that the combo of the fluff stuck to my palate and just the general feeling of eating air doesn't do it for me

Fluff. Why spoil your sugar by putting some actual fruit in it?

My daughter is trying to ban peanut butter in my house in favor of hummus. I asked her, why, they're both basically a legume and oil. She informed me that PB has 140 calories from fat per serving and hummus has 25. How about a flufferhummer?

Makes me wonder what Dirk Diggler would choose.

Jam is acceptable as well.
The only jelly product I've ever come across that I just don't like is orange marmelade.

I put a PB&J sandwich in my pocket for backcountry or alpine skiing, and for hiking for that matter. It's kind of a tradition.

I never buy lunch at a resort -- sometimes just a cocoa or coffee. If I'm lucky, I don't crush the sandwich enough for the preserves to ooze out. But either way, it's lunch!

Fluff for me, but can't have it in the house since my wife devours it....

So I settle for a PB&J every now and again with an assortment of jelly curtious of my mom.

:lol:!

Jelly, rather preserves ... raspberry, black berry, etc ...

Teddie Super Chunky. There's another poll, chunky or smooth?

Teddie is just about the only peanut butter I ever buy. I imagine there are comparable brands when you stray farther from metro-Boston. I want an ingredients list to say "peanuts, salt".

I tend to alternate between chunky and smooth.

I alternate depending on which is being carried by Ocean State Job Lot on that particular day...
