Could you live without peanut butter?

[Anonymous]

Why do you all eat so much peanut butter? There's a thread about odd food combinations and 90% of the suggestions are peanut butter + something. Most of them sound disgusting. In another thread people lamenting that you can't bring a jar of peanut butter on a plane. Let's not even talk about all the posts about "my kids will only eat PB or string cheese", "I have to bring PB to the park or my child will starve". My own SIL feeds her kids a PB sandwich every single day for lunch, even at home and on the weekends. Dinner is usually ramen noodles. Yuck. I can't think an equivalent in other cultures that people have to bring everywhere as an emotional support food. It's not like the French are bringing their own camembert on a plane.

Yes, hate the stuff. I had a picky eater who only ate a few things. I would not send my child anywhere that could put another at risk due to their food.

It’s yummy

I ate it every day for lunch for 8 years

Put it in smoothies and dip apples in it.

Yum

I could live without peanut butter, but don’t take my good salted Virginia peanuts.

I like it but could easily live without it, as could DH and DS.

It's a shelf stable protein.

Yes I could live without it, sure. It's just very convenient.

Your SIL sounds like a mom who is feeding her kids. Do you have kids?

I can live without it until I have a craving for a PB&J or Fluffernutter.

+1. You can put a PB&J in a lunch bag without an ice pack and know it’s safe the whole day.

I do. One of them is picky. But I can't imagine feeding them the same thing day after day. I try to diversify and prepare something home cooked whenever possible, even if very simple.
