I always buy the natural style. When I lived in So. Cal. I
bought Laura Scudder's. Here in Pgh. I get Smucker's. Always
smooth. I totally detest pieces of peanut in my butter. I don't
like nuts in lots of things that leave them moist and not
crispy and crunchy. Crunchy style peanut butter is a misnomer
as the pieces of peanut are not crunchy at all!!! I don't like
nuts in cakes or pies and especially in ice cream and in candies
like filled chocolates with creamy center. I will eat nuts
in chocolate or in brittle or toffee or even in caramel.
Anyway, that's why I never eat "crunchy" peanut butter.

I sure miss Laura Scudder's since I moved back to Pgh.
Smucker's is pretty good but Laura's was a little better.

Natch. Except that I don't eat it out of the jar.
I pretty much only cook with it. And when I make Gado
Gado I sometimes buy peanuts and grind them myself. Other
times, when I'm too lazy I just use bought.
