I'll give it a try sometime.

Try this yourself sometime:

Hot toast immediately slathered with peanut butter, then thin slice of swiss
cheese immediately on top of that. Great snack if you like the ingredients.

I used to like peanut butter and cheese sandwiches. But for some reason I
can not stomach peanut butter on toast. Oh it tastes fine. It just comes
right back up after I eat it. I think it is the warm peanut butter or
something. I can eat toast just fine.

I don't much care for melty peanut butter either... I'll eat it but
it's not a preference. Try peanut butter spread on chocolate covered
graham crackers but first freeze them.

You can take a cup of peanut butter, a cup of sugar, and an egg, and
make peanut butter cookies.

PB & bacon are a great combo for hiding the stench of mystery meat...
if you wouldn't order a T-bone topped with PB & bacon why a burger?
Whenever I have a burger I don't want it topped with anything I
wouldn't want on my steak... and since I grind my own burger meat
that's more reason why I don't want to hide the good flavor of fresh
ground beef cooked rare.

I am reminded of the Fool's Gold Loaf, which was a sandwich served by
a restaurant in Denver. Elvis Presley enjoyed this sandwich so much
he would fly in his plane from Memphis to Denver and have them meet
him at the tarmac with a bagful of these sandwiches for him and the
Memphis Mafia to eat on the way back home. This sandwich consisted of
a loaf of Italian Bread that is hollowed out and filled with a jar of
jelly, a jar of peanut putter, and a pound of fried bacon. It's no
wonder he died of a massive heart attack at 42.

Or even graham crackers flavored with cocoa.

I love hot toast with peanut butter. The peanut butter becomes like a sauce.

I'm kind of picky about my swiss cheese. I like dry swiss, and I like the
lacey kind with the many small holes.

I much prefer Jarlsburg to Swiss (Emmentaler). When sliced that lacy
cheese (Swiss? Lorraine) sticks back together, it's not a favorite
anyway... typically sold to fad dieters as it is low fat/salt... but
with very little flavor and terrible texture (Velveeta is far more a
cheese)

Okay, this is going to sound really weird and it is SO 50s, but: my
mom made a Jello salad that had whole apricots (positioned in semi-set
Jello so they would stay where she wanted them) which had been pitted
and then stuffed with a combination of peanut butter and bacon. I
thought it was really, really good, even when I was a little kid. I
don't remember her making it much beyond my age of 8 or so.

I just can't eat peanut butter toast. I don't like peanuts as an
ingredient in anything except sometimes a sandwich of pb & j, or pb,
mayo & lettuce.

For me, pb & j has to be on white bread - good, artisanal or Wonder
Bread, doesn't matter to me. ;-)

Yep! Pretty weird. Definitely one I've never run across and I have
more than a passing acquaintance with the freaky Jell-O 50s.

Planting mines like that in a bowl of Jello like that sounds like a
choking hazard. OTOH, apricots stuffed with peanut butter and bacon
sounds like a good idea even in 2012. Well to me, anyway.

Adding maple is like adding bacon. Everything is better with bacon.

Maple-almond butter is one of those foods like Nutella that in theory
should go well in receipts but somehow the only recipe I use it in is
"spoon". %^)

Some tasty mines.

But probably healthier than a chocolate-dipped cannoli.

Can you buy that or do you have to make it yourself? Sounds good.

I like the concept but those things are not very attractive. Looks like
they've been pre-aged. Chocolate should be shiny, I think.

Well, with dozens of cannoli flavors, they're might be more focused on
quantity than quality.

On the other hand, fried foods have a pretty good shelf life.

Well, then you don't really love "all things peanut"!

I don't know what you had, but the boiled peanuts I made were awesome.
I'll admit I forget how I did it and acknowledge it requires locating
raw unshelled peanuts, but I cooked 'em in a slow cooker and loved 'em.
The recipe was from Hag and ??? (Stimpy)? I ferget.

Rye toast? In stores it only comes as un-toasted bread. ;^)

I've seen almond butter at plenty of stores. Not everywhere but it is
semi-common once you start looking for alternate nut butters.

Any nut can be made into butter. Put nuts into the food processor.
Turn it on in constant mode. At some point your ears hurt form the
noise. That's the half way point to a good nut butter.

I've tried several types of nuts and some types of peas/beans (peanuts
are peas nut tree nuts). Strangely the only one I was unimpressed with
was pistachio. Maybe pistachio needed extra oil for it to come out
good. Or maybe I couldn't get past the color.

It has to be iceberg lettuce with just a tiny sprinkle of salt,
thickly-spread peanut butter, cold mayo and Wonder Bread. Try
it. ;-)

It was lemon jello - you could easily see them - she'd pit them, stuff
them, and put them back together as a whole apricot. She'd use an 8 x
8 square pan and 9 whole apricots, which made 9 squares.

I did give the exception of the boiled version.

Here was my one experience with them. My daughter came home one day with a
(store bought) bag of boiled peanuts. It's peanuts still in shell and they
were in some brine in the bag. She loved them and told me to try some. I did
even though it was very weird to me to eat them shells and all. The brine
they were in even seemed a bit slimy.

Been a long time since that day. I probably liked the taste but I really
didn't like the idea of eating whole peanuts, shells and all, in some slimy
brine.

That sounds so weird to me too. I've got it all here and I'll make it right
now.
