What's your controversial food opinion?

Pancakes aren’t good. Waffles are a tiny bit better because they at least have texture, but both are really just a vehicle for butter and syrup.

Consider trying a nice fresh natural peanut butter lightly spread inside a sharp cheddar quesadilla.

Ew WTF?? Now that is controversial.

I KNOW.

But think about trying it sometime. It's not what you would expect at all.

You sweet thing. You really are pushing this!

OK, we might need a separate thread for the people you want to win over.
I have Ortega soft tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese and Jif. Will that work? Or do I need top tier ingredients?

Sure! I think natural peanut butter is better, but I be that would work. Or at least be worth a go.

How sweet of you to be willing to try! (I might just be crazy. I think I may have said it was the best thing my ex left me? Never would have tried on my own.)

Sorry about late reply -- I've been ODing on Political Forum and living in the land of migraines.

Omg I’m invested. I really want PP to come back and tell us what she thought. There is no way I could bring myself to try this.

I have no desire to try that but I always liked peanut butter with a thin spread of butter on the sandwich too...makes the peanut butter creamier. I still make it (but only when no one else is around)

But did the PP try it?? I still want to know what she thought! I saw one poster said it was ok and then added salsa. Which kinda just made it sound so much worse. I might sneak this into the next quesadilla I make, feed it to my DH, and see what he does...

PP here with the Jif/shredded cheddar and ortega kit. I have NOT yet, but will after my workout today. That's a promise.

I am so excited!

For me, it's only really good with extra shard cheddar and natural peanut butter, but people can try all sorts of things and see. More data points. Love it.

Can we please get a status update on this

I also want an update.

I had a bacon cheeseburger with peanut butter on it once (in New Orleans) and it was amazing. So I can kind of see this working.

UPDATE: This was with ortega tortilla, shredded extra sharp cheddar and Creamy Skippy (I thought about crunchy). I lightly melted the cheese in the tortilla, added a scant bit of PB (it warmed and melted and spread) folded in half and ate. It was messy- melted PB dripped. It ended up tasting predominantly of PB! It wasn't bad-- would've been a bit better with jelly! So I guess maybe cheese matters? I may need a quality sliced cheddar to really stand up to the PB?

Well this is disappointing. I guess I wanted you to either really love it, or really hate it.

Cheese peanut butter tortilla seems sort of disgusting to me. Like a bologna and mayo sandwich.

I would guess that's why it's in the "controversial food opinion thread." If it sounded good to most people, there would be no controversy.

Ok.NP, but I read all 33 pages.

The peanut butter-cheese-tortilla thing is delicious. I've been eating it for years. But, NO HEAT. That was the mistake. You use a room-temp, flour tortilla. (No corn.) A chunk of thick-sliced, very sharp cheddar. And a glob of real peanut butter (not the kind that's half oil).

And here's a twist - also good if you substitute tortilla for American bread or apples (apple-peanut butter-cheese).

And sushi is gross. Yes, even California rolls. Yes, even the kind without seaweed. It's disgusting. All of it.

When you say real pb, not half oil... do you mean to use traditional Jif/Skippy (which texturally isn’t oily) or to use natural pb (which separates and appears oily?

PP here. Yes. Some peanut butters (Jif and Skippy) are whipped with hydrogenated oils. You don't need to get organic or anything, but the kind with oil tend to have less peanut content. You want at least 90% peanuts and no added sugar. Not for health reasons or whatever, but because the peanut flavor needs to be strong enough to balance the sharp cheddar.

Baked goods (muffins, cakes) made with oil are not yummy and moist. They are just oily. Oily and moist are totally different mouthfeels. Yuck. Bake with butter or don’t bake.

Sounds like you're using too much or the wrong kind of oil. Try light olive oil.

Pretty much everything is genetically modified at this point - including wine!

Baking with olive oil? No. It's too strongly flavor.

Yes, which is why I said "light olive oil".
