Skippy? Jiff? Other?

[Stinky The Clown]

I didn't have time for lunch today. So I ate a few spoonfuls. Right from the jar.

Creamy. The chunky stuff finds places to hide.

1. Grew up with Skippy but now am a Jiff girl

Hubby was a Jiff kid, so I converted. The whoes of a mixed marriage! But I do love it now.

2. Smucker's natural or

the Peanut Butter Co. natural Crunch Time. I just had a tablespoon. I usually have some peanut butter as part of my breakfast to give me a bit of protein.

3. Mr K is a smooth Skippy man

I eat it so rarely, so his choice gets the cupboard space

[politicat]

4. Other. Natural.

I think we're using the Costco natural right now, but we'll go to local when that runs out. Though how local it really is when we have to import the peanuts, I can't say.

Skippy and Jiff are both too sweet for me. I want the sweet from the jelly.

Natural is not as smooth as Skippy and Jiff, but if Mr. P wants it extra chunky, we have a bag of chopped peanuts he can sprinkle on his sandwich.

5. Peter Pan... chunky........

That's my pb of choice these days

[Lugnut]

6. I like Jif

Hubby likes the creamy Smuckers Natural.

7. Whipped Jiff...

its ultra, ultra smooth and very light in texture. YUMMY!

[pdxbecca]

8. I love natural unsalted peanut butter

Trader Joe's creamy is my choice right now.

[Ecumenist]

9. I HATE peanut butter

Loathe the stuff...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

16. Ohhhhhhhhh

I thought it was just me.

You know where peanuts are really good (the only item, in my opinion): Payday candy bars. Which I eat once a year, or so.

[Lorax]

10. I make my own

or at least I did, before I broke my food processor. Don't worry, I broke the food processor trying to grind rock salt (not to eat, to make bath salts). I just ground peanuts and added a little peanut oil to get the whole thing moving in the machine. Really, really yummy. I really need to get another food processor.

11. Some natural stuff.

I get creamy, my SO gets crunchy, so we've got both in the house most of the time.

12. Natural, smooth peanut butter. n/t

[Warpy]

13. Deaf Smith smooth

unless I'm planning PB cookies, then it's the chunky stuff.

Natural peanut butter takes a little getting used to, but then if you try a jar of the commercial stuff, it's like trying to eat Crisco.

Besides, commercial peanut butter is beyond weird in Asian peanut sauces.

14. Other -- Trader Joe's

Unsalted, chunky.

When I lived in Boston there was a local brand, Teddie Peanut Butter, that was the best.

[The empressof all]

15. We use Adams Chunky

I get it in the big tubs....Yet we always seem to be running out. I use it quite a bit in Peanut butter Tofu dip. I process a hunk of tofu with about a cup of peanut butter and some garlic. (depending on the day-I'll add a little oil to lighten it a little) It's great on cauliflower and broccoli.

17. Peter Pan smooth. Our youngest, at age four asked, as she sat in the cart

in the crowded peanut butter aisle, "Mommy, are you a choosy mother?"

The other shoppers snapped their heads in our direction, all having huge smiles. I said, "Yes. I'm very choosy," as I took the PP from the shelf.

[KyndCulture]

18. I vote for whatever is on sale or that I have a coupon for smooth!

[japple]

19. Peanut allergy, here. But my family swears

by Kroger's store brand chunky. I do like almond butter (roasted and salted, smooth)

[Warpy]

20. Try cashew butter, pure luxury

Westbrae foods used to make my favorite, cashew, peanut and date butter with little chunks of dried dates. It was heavenly, but I haven't seen it for years.

[BeTheChange]

21. Natural Unsalted Organic Valencia Maranatha PB

If we cant find that, Adams..

I like creamy and hubby likes chunky, so we have both.

[DawgHouse]

22. Peter Pan smooth!

[BuddhaGirl]

23. Jif, Skippy et al contain trans fat - not a good thing!

I like an all natural, smooth peanut butter myself, preferably organic :-)

[troubleinwinter]

24. Wouldn't a blind taste test Jiff/Skippy/Peter Pan be interesting?

[Stepup2]

25. Koeze's Cream Nut

This is my favorite. I tried it at Zingermans Deli in Ann Arbor last year and have been hooked on it since.

26. Peter Pan

n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

27. Okay, I finally voted

Skippy smooth. It has been my peanut butter since I was a kid.

Does anyone recall the teevee show they sponsored? You Asked For It? The Skippy label would open up like a camera lens' iris to start each segment. The sharted in the ***very**** early days of teevee ... like maybe 1951 or so ... and ended, I'm pretty sure, before 1960.

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Too late to edit .....

'sharted'????

How about 'started'?

k? :)

29. Y'all are going to think I'm odd, but I like the store brands.

They're not as sweet as the kinds packaged for children (like Skippy, Jif and Peter Pan) and have more of a roasted peanut flavor.

Unfortunately, with a sweet-toothed husband and a 7 year old son, I'm generally outvoted in favor of Jif in the peanut butter department.

Oh - and creamy or smooth - I like them all. :)
