Default Umami Overload, or Peanut Paradise


Last week I finally got around to buying some peanut butter. It's good
stuff - so good that the other night I decided to do away with the bread
altogether. A jar of peanut butter and a spoon is all I needed.

Midway from jar to mouth, though, I had an idea: "What this needs is a
bit of soy sauce." So I tried it. A few drops of Kikoman on the spoonful
of PB. Lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy! It was too good to be believed. Salt,
sweet, umami - it had it all.

Now, the question is, what can one do with this discovery? Such an
exalted taste combination calls for something more than just a sandwich
(though I tried that too and it was truly a consciousness-expanding
experience). So, what sort of savoury dish can be made with PB and soy
sauce?
