What’s your favorite peanut butter?

[GregWCIL]

Watching a TV program on peanut butter. (I know, exciting life). And I’m curious what everyone’s favorite brand and style of peanut butter is?

Kraft chunky.

Chunky and I grind the peanuts to make the peanut butter. The grocery store I shop, I can grind either almonds or peanuts to make the nut butter.

Skippy Super Chunk. I like Adams but don't like having to stir it or store in fridge, and Jif smells good but is too runny for giving dogs pills. (The dogs get creamy though.) I have to admit I haven't tried a lot of brands though.

Teddie All Natural (smooth or chunky). Long-time New England brand:

Skippy super chunk . Tastes great, especially with apricot jelly, on Sara Lee Artisano bread toasted real light. That’s how I like it.

It’s also great for bait on rodent traps or with some honey mixed in, it’s good for slap and go sets for raccoon under concrete bridges smeared on the wall, about thigh high.

Birds like it in the winter but I don’t give them the good stuff, I buy the store brand for them.

Rita likes the Skippy creamy so we have our own separate jars. Marriage made in heaven.

Ugh, too many stick to the roof of my mouth sandwiches when I was a kid. Not a peanut butter fan.

But I really love Reese's Peanut Butter cups. Do they count as peanut butter?

Definitely crunchy PB. Brand doesn't matter so much, but I guess I usually get Peter Pan or Jif. I did try grinding my own, and it was okay but different and nothing special IMO.

Hi: GregWCIL... Diverticulosis makes it impossible for me to eat peanuts so it's smooth for me!!! Usually store brand "No Name" too.

I bet that homemade peanut butter is good. How would you compare it?

“Hard to whistle”. You hit my funny nerve. Lol

[GregWCIL]

According to the TV program the early patent on peanut butter that would store at room temp was by the guy who started Peter Pan. Then when business partners cheated him he modified his process and started Skippy.
Juggernaut Proctor and Gamble came along with JIF and added vegetable oil to make it cheaper and sugar to appeal to America’s sweet tooth.
Soon most followed suite to compete.

Edit to add: The program gave a nod to Reese’s PB cups as a big driver of early awareness of peanut butter. Thus driving demand for a now multi-billion dollar food item.

We prefer Smucker’s Natural Peanut Butter Creamy.

We drain off all of the oil that sits on top before stirring. The result is a very stiff peanut butter that makes it almost impossible to spread on bread.

The ingredients? Peanuts and 1% or less of Salt

No, you stir the oil in, which makes natural peanut butter far better (and easy enough to spread). You can also store it upside down until opened, then the oil is on the bottom and easy to mix in. Once mixed, I keep the excellent Teddie in the fridge.

Having no gallbladder the less oil the better.

To natural Adams. Nothing but ground peanuts. No sugar, no vegetable oil, no additional salt. Tastes like peanuts! Not something else....

I wish that was the case for me. I had my gallbladder removed 25+ years ago and I haven't found one food that 'affects' me. In fact for me, the opposite is true. I buy the big jar of Metamucil

I don't have one, either. It matters not; the gallbladder evolved to store bile for the occasional gorging after a mastadon kill, not for our tepid three meals a day. I eat whatever I want.

I worked on the gut line at the Wilson’s packinghouse in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for quite a while when I first went to the hog kill. I carefully removed the gall bladder from each liver then cut apart the heart , lungs and liver from the intestines at 642 hogs an hour. I looked like a demented orchestra conductor with a ten inch needle tip butcher knife for a baton. I was orchestrating my job title “separating pluck and paunch”. I was younger then. Yes I occasionally cut myself. $6.58 an hour.
