Skippy or Jif? Chunky or smooth? Marshmallow or jelly?
I'm a Skippy chunky fan---Jif is too sweet for me.

I like it plain,on Pepperidge Farm oatmeal bread,with nothing added. A perfect food IMHO.

1. Creamy Jif on one slice, butter on the other.
Put 'em together and you've got P.B. heaven.

4. Creamy Jiff
knifed on thick on whole wheat bread. I remember my mother buying both Jiff and Skippy to satisfy my older brother and me who had different tastes in the awesome invention.

30. no jelly
why get the bread all soggy

it detracts from the texture of the peanut butter

5. Jif. I like both creamy and chunky.
I grew up in a Skippy family. That's all my mom ever bought was Skippy, for years and years and years.

In my mid-20s, between radio jobs, I moved back in with my parents for a few months. I had started buying Jif and brought some to their house. My mother tried the Jif, and then she stopped buying Skippy. Thirty years of buying Skippy, and I changed her mind. She's been buying Jif ever since.

I don't eat marshmallow fluff or jelly. I like peanut butter and jam, but it must be jam, lots of pieces of fruit, and preferably homemade if possible.

9. Jif...chunky...jelly
If those are the only choices.

I usually do Peter Pan, though Jif is ok

Always chunky

I prefer honey rather than jelly

19. Peter Pan Smooth Whipped...
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 06:31 PM by lavenderdiva
its whipped to be extra fluffy. On Oroweat HoneyWheatberry bread spread with butter first, then smear the Peter Pan on. Yummy!!! :bounce:

ps. also like to get a spoonful of peanut butter and dip it into a bowl of semi-sweet chocolate chips and enjoy!

20. chunky, Peter Pan or actually Albertson's house brand is
good too

I love peanut butter and jelly blended together and spread on saltines with home made vegetable soup. My mom always served that when she made soup it is very tasty.

29. man, oh man... what a selection!
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 11:48 AM by lavenderdiva
we have Kroger, Randall's, Rice Epicurean, HEB, Central Market, and Fiesta, and Walmart. Unfortunately, no Albertson's. They completely pulled out of Houston back in 2002, I think. There was one about a half-mile from my house, and I liked shopping there. When Walmart expanded their grocery stores, they pulled out. Lucky you!

34. I even forgot that we have WalMart and Target with grocery
departments in them....
Tom Thumb is our version of Randall's I think. Isn't Randall's owned by SAfeway?

But what the hey, you got Central Market, just like us. We do not have your basic HEB ...yet. I keep hearing rumors they plan to invade the MetroPlex soon.

Albertson's couldn't make it in Nashville either, according to my friends up there. But it is thriving here. Guess we just like to eat a lot in Fort Worth

31. Natural, unsweetened peanut butter.
No jelly or marshmallow fluff.

Just peanut butter and toast. Or good bread. But with good bread, I usually prefer Nutella.

33. Peter Pan creamy
Grilled or griddled (like a grilled cheese sandwich).

I just don't get the rip off that is "chunky" peanut butter. Why pay full price for PB that's only half done?:shrug:

37. Adams -- the real peanut butter
I love Adams -- it's a brand made only with peanuts, no corn syrup or other stuff. It really is good.
I like my peanut butter plain on a rice cake (can't eat wheat) or with banana. Yummy!
