National Lover’s
Day is on March 1st. Ah, peanut butter. One day is not enough to
recognize peanut butter. The goober has been paired, blended and added with
many tasty results!
The creamy, nutty goodness that
is peanut butter is so amazingly delicious that when we pair it with creamy and
dreamy chocolate, we almost have bacon. We digress. Another great love
is peanut butter ice cream. Blended smooth with a few
chopped nuts and a drizzle of peanut butter syrup is a peanut butter lover’s
dream come true. There is difference in National Peanut Butter Day & National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day, January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day and march 1st
as National Peanut Butter
Lover’s Day. Peanut Butter part of some iconic duos It’s superb just out of the jar, but pair it with other foods and it
really shines. Think about the iconic duos: Peanut butter and toast, peanut
butter and jelly, peanut butter and celery, and of course, peanut butter and
chocolate.
The slang
term for peanut butter in World War II was “monkey butter.” A monkey visited the lab at
Kellogg’s one day and dipped his banana in a jar of peanut butter, and he’s
been ape over the combination ever since. Actually, banana slices with peanut
butter sandwiched between them and dipped in chocolate make a terrific snack. Peanut butter and bananas was a
combination even fit for a king. Elvis Presley loved a peanut butter
and banana sandwich or two. Then peanut butter got its
passport and travelled the world. It paired up with some shrimp and got a
little saucy. The result is a Thai peanut butter shrimp that is so yummy it had to
be true love. Things heated up a little when
peanut butter jumped into the stew pot to sweat it out with a spring chick
seasoned with some cayenne. African Chicken Peanut Stew tastes better than ever. Some of the best times peanut
butter has ever had is with marshmallows. Fudge enjoys a satisfying dessert
status to be envied.
