A special kind of stupid

Anybody else eat peanut butter on their American pancakes? My family (and extended family) has always eaten pancakes and waffles with either peanut butter and syrup or peanut butter with a jelly or jam. Yum! It must not be a common thing because we tend to get strange looks or comments from boyfriends/girlfriends, prospective members of the family, etc. Please tell me others eat peanut butter on their pancakes and waffles too!

Because someone probably thought it said absoluteGastronomy. :laughing:

I bet the Brit variety would be good wrapped around sausage. Or maybe wrapped around a stick of butter with some (american) bacon. Mmmmmm I can hear the arteries hardening.

I smother my American version pancakes in butter then with syrup.
Mmmmmmmm.

They are also known as flapjacks, hoecakes, hotcakes, johnny-cakes, and maybe more.

It’s a shame someone didn’t warn you Gary before you went to IHOP.
IHOP RULES!!!

I don’t like peanut butter, so I don’t eat it on anything. Just as well because I hear it’s hard to buy good pb here.

Jbarter - sorry about the drool, mate - come on down to London someday and I’ll make more pancakes :wink:

Oh dear god no…

That’d be worse than that awful chocolate which has peanut butter in the middle!! It’d be like… like putting gravy on fish and chips!

make no mistke, the french know their stuff..

What’s with the European antipathy toward Peanut Butter. Why, back in '44 peanut butter won the war!!! (not really).

I like peanut butter Fly. The trouble is, that at a minimum of 50% fat content, I have to bear in mind all those ‘fat hobbit’ comments.

Truth be told, I’m just too lazy to chew real peanuts so I buy the premasticated variety. :wink:

There’s nothing wrong with peanut butter. Like everything else, it has its place. Its place being either on hot buttered toast (with marmite), or in sandwiches (with marmite). :slight_smile:

I like the crunchy variety (of peanut butter, not eggs or marmite), but my aged fillings do not, and since I’ve already paid for two of my dentist’s foreign holidays in the last year I’ve switched to the smooth.

It’s also easier to clean out of your whistle later.

I don’t like peanut butter in candy bars or cookies, just on toast, pancakes, or waffles.

I’ve eaten peanut butter on my pancakes since I was a kid…must be a Utah thing…

The peanut butter thing, on waffles and pancakes; this is the first I ever heard of it, today. So it must be a somewhere else than Calaforny thing…
just ran an office poll. One lady said she heard of including it in the batter from a recipe…

And here I thought this topic might be in refference to me… :blush: … wrong again…

PB & Marmite!???

Admittedly I’ve never had Marmite, but I have bought some 1kg tubs of Vegemite over the years so I know what sort of goo it is, and I just can’t see it with peanut butter. Gad, I’m getting horribly thirsty just thinking about it. PB & banana slices, PB & honey, PB & banana slices and honey, PB & jam, jelly, preserves, etc., but PB and Marmite? Do you suck on bouillon cubes for candy?

English cuisine…

Well, I’m a CA native, and my family ate PB on waffles and pancakes (usually on waffles; syrup, more often, on pancakes).

Then again, my dad’s from Wyoming, so maybe he imported the habit . . .

My folks also used to cook strips of bacon into our waffles, actually laying them in the batter before closing the iron so that it was cooked into the waffle itself. Then topped with butter, sometime PB, and syrup. Why we didn’t all have heart attacks by age 16 is a mystery.

The PB and marmite thing seems suspect, to me . . . Ick.

i’m about to have my dinner:
home made pizza, super good, here’s my recipe:
cut two tomatos in chunks

, add lots of sun-dried tomatos (in oil and herbs)

, squish two garlic cloves into the mix

, add lots of green basil

and violet (dark-red)basil

. Now add balsamic vinegar to the mix

, some salt and pepper

now slap the whole mix onto your dough

and add mozarella and some parmesan.

oven.
eat.
enjoy.

:smiley:

Funny that they don’t call them something like … you know … crepes.
Must be that whole British Francophobia thing…

How would that sound on Jif Lemon Crepe Day? :boggle:

Great recipe Amar. Methinks I’ll try it this week. I love sun dried tomatos. I like them in spaghetti sauce, on eggs, in cream cheese

(Hey, did you shrink those pictures?)

I tried peanut butter and Marmite. I had too much Marmite.
