Your favourite brand of peanut butter?

Mines Planters.
Crunchy on the teeth, thick as anything and always predictable.

I didn't think Brits liked peanut butter, given how they're always making fun of Americans and their penchant for it.

I get this organic peanut butter at Costco. Don't think it has a brand name, unless it's Kirkland or something. All natural, the ingredient list is peanuts and salt, that's it. Stir it up and keep it in the fridge, upside down. The oil keeps it spreadable.

Approximately $150 million market in the UK.

Organic is the best selling type in the uk I believe.
My wife likes it, I’m an occasional dabbler in the cronchy sticky smoothness.

Edit; good tip on the upside down thing.

Some British people balk at the idea of "peanut butter and jelly" sandwiches, that's all.

I didn’t think Planters made peanut butter. If they do, it’s not available where I shop. Seems kind of odd since Planters is the name most associated with peanuts.

But peanuts and peanut butter are two different things, though as suzianne points out, some peanut butter is just made of peanuts. I guess the “butter” in peanut butter just refers to the product’s consistency and not to the product “butter.”

Even in PB brands that contain more than peanuts, I don’t think any of the ingredients are the same as ingredients found in butter.

Interesting stuff and great OP.

Hard to say what my favorite brand of PB is. If I’m feeling health conscious, I’ll go for the all-natural kind - usually Teddie or Smuckers.

If I’m not feeling health conscious, my go-to brand is Skippy and I usually vacillate between crunchy and smooth. Currently, I favor crunchy.

One of my favorite sandwiches as a kid involved toasting Thomas’ English muffins and spreading PB on one or both halves of the toasted muffin and then pressing them together so the PB melted. Totally delish!

Later, I favored PB sandwiches made with American cheese and mayo.

And nothing goes better with a straight PB sandwich than a cold glass of milk.

Never a fan of jelly with my PB. I like my PB straight.

Because, to them, jelly is what we call jello.

I probably wouldn't like a peanut butter and jello sandwich either.

Skippy and Jif have way, way too much sugar.

The right amount of sugar in peanut butter is zero.

"Never a fan of jelly with my PB. I like my PB straight."

Sigh.

Why sigh?!

One reason I don’t like jelly with my PB is the jelly makes it too sweet.
