I like smooth peanut butter. And I only like my pb on Ritz crackers. No sandwiches. For sandwiches you need good stuff, like roast beef. Or pastrami, chicken breast, turkey etc. I've had to re-discover my sandwich making abilities with working out of my house. No more walks down a crowded restaurant-filled street to have lunch. No sirree. In fact, I hardly have traditional fast food much anymore, cutting back on it more and more and more over the years.
Besides, why even go to a fast food place? Do they have peanut butter? Seriously. When I was a kid, my mom made brown bag lunches and I had peanut butter (smooth, no jelly, no jam) like, 3 times a week. Wendy's? Jack in the Box? Arby's? No peanut butter related foods. Don't give me that bull about "allergies" either. Is the populace demanding fast food PB&J? Is there a hole in the world, a demand that's not being met?
So even with all this history of peanut butter sandwiches in my life, my childhood... I hardly have it as an adult. Yet when I make lunch daily, I reach for a bialy, I go for the mustard, the cheese, some lettuce... whither peanut butter?
As you can tell, this blog hits the hard stuff. Look out!

I enjoy both chunky and smooth peanut butter, depending on what I'm having it on. And every once in a while, PB&J really hits the spot.
I am not nuts about peanut butter. For instance, I HATE peanut butter in cookies. Just thinking about it makes me kind of sick. This is perhaps because when I was 17 and living in a studio apartment in Chelsea, for a while all I had was ingredients to make peanut butter cookies (don't even ask) and so I ate them. A lot. And I have never had one since then.
I think you should do a blog entry on foods you really like, and foods you really don't. If I did that, I would put salmon and peas (separately, of course) in my "likes" and MAYONNAISE in my dislikes.
