2nd blog today . .
What is it about some things that you have to have the brand name? There are a few things that I am snobby about when it comes to brand names,
- Eileen's cookies are the best cookies in the world (other than those made by grandmothers)
- When cooking anything requiring soup, it must be Campbells nothing else tastes quite as good
And my most recent discovery is Peanut Butter. I am a peanut butter snob.
It started at Mimi and Papa's house.
I was craving something to eat and I saw a jar of Natural Smuckers Peanut Butter.
It tasted okay.
So when I got home to my house I was craving more peanut butter, so I grabbed the first jar of peanut butter and spread it on bread.
munch munch munch . . .
EEEWWWWW!
What is this???? Gross!! Generic Brand Peanut Butter.
I ate the whole piece of nastiness dispite the revolting taste and looked in the cupboard again.
Hey another jar! Peter Pan? Who bought this? Oh, well I'll try it ..
crunch crunch crunch (I toasted the bread this time)
Still tastes a bit funny. . . .
Two days later I spot Another Jar of Peanut Butter hiding in the back of the pantry. This time I strike gold! Creamy, peanutty JIF!
Crunch crunch crunch . . . and this one is just right!
Since the 4th of July, I have eaten 14 pieces of peanut butter toast ( 2 of which were actually part of a peanut butter and banana sandwich . . . thank you, thank you very much)
And I'm still hungry for more!! But only JIF will calm the nutty monster within!
Anybody want a peanut?

Only creamy Jif. Always. Have tried natural, organic PB, but no. Only creamy Jif will do. I eat it almost every morning on toast.
Jay and I have had the very same conversation, about things that you must have the brand name on. We agreed early on to respect each other's preferences when shopping. Mine is ketchup, must have Heinz. His is mustard. He doesn't want cheapo mustard. We usually do only Campbells for soup - Jay agrees with you on that one.
I will buy store-brand for vegetables, canned fruit (although I usually end up buying the Dole because it has the no sugar mandarin oranges.
Twilight Zone! I thought I'd lost it when I saw Saturday on your post. I'm all better now. A Marilyn loved peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. I like pb toast with butter on top. Silly me. p.s. I agree good pb is not hard to find- if it's Jif.
I buy a LOT of generic things, but there are some things that can NOT be substituted: T¡de, D0wny, Ch@rmin, annnnndddd.... J¡F. There will never be a substitute for J¡F. As the ad says, "Choosy moms choose J¡F". I AM one of those choosy moms.
Also, I LOVE PB and pickle sandwiches. I also LOVE PB toast with butter. Peanut butter is by far my favorite food. Why does it have to be so fattening?!?!?!? :(
