Looks like Italians have got one-up on the Gold. Oh, BTW, do they test for
that?

the best of the Adams is, imho, the organic *crunchy*. its organic
roasted peanuts, roasted peanut oil, and less than one percent salt. i
pour out about one half of the oil and save it for other uses, before i
stir the rest into the jar.

oh yeah, and the best sandwiches are peanut butter on one slice of
bread, mayo on the other, and lots of iceberg lettuce in between! i
know it sounds strange....but its good! myraide

I'm going to a cook-in next weekend. I agree so much with the "Skippy super
chunk" assessment that one of the items I'm bringing to the cook-in will
have that peanut butter as a significant component.

That would be incredibly bland to me. Gots to have me some salt with
peanuts.

IMHO fresh ground from your local health food store is about as good as you
can get commercially. It's certainly a quantum leap up from pre-jarred
brands.

I say commercially, because up in Washington State there is a retreat
centre - Holden Village - in a wild, remote area (well, can it really be
called "wild" with a centre there? But you get the idea) which makes its
own peanut butter that makes even the best of the health-food grind-your-
own seem ordinary. At Holden they grind it every day. They always have
plenty of (home-made) bread and jelly available - great for building
yourself a sandwich that you can then take hiking in the surrounding (awe-
inspiring) landscape. That is, if you don't spend the time trying to eat
the entire bowl of peanut butter :-)

Could be. I've had some tearing issues with Wonderbread though.
Off-white-ish Hillbilly bread tends to have a bit more body.

As for me, I go for Jif, it's the most peanutty of all the peanut
butters.
