Hey, don’t knock it!
We have a pretty decent snack around here, buttered toast topped with a bit of sliced onion and a pinch of salt, and a chonkily diced tomato on the side for zest!
Edit: well, in all fairness, the traditional snack uses preserved cooking fat obtained from roasting sausages and such (we roast the sausages at once when preparing stockpiles and store the fat in jars for later use in different dishes), but I prefer it with a nice and thick milk butter.
I actually prefer penut butter in savoury foods, so not at all offended by this sandwich (properly seasoned).
My uncle’s favorite sandwich is onion and strawberry jelly.
Challenge accepted! What type of onion does he prefer? Red?
I do not know that he has a preference.
Is this Germany?
This doesn’t sound terrible? Maybe not good, but not awful? Especially with a very mild onion and slightly sweet variety.
Take a vidalia onion, cook it down a bit and I think you’ll have something.
I have actually done this, 6/10, not horrible but not something I would actively make again unless situations were dire. It is slightly above average because it is better than what your brain is telling you while you’re making it.
Dylan Hollis, Tiktok food screamer atter guy, among the many depression era baked goods he’s tried was a “peanut butter onion.” Recipe: Hollow out an onion. Mix some bread crumbs into some peanut butter. Pack the peanut butter mixture into the onion. Bake. Eat.
One of many depression era recipes where I’d rather eat the ingredients individually than try to make something out of them.
I remember that one!!! And your definitely right about that. It did not look good at all!
“Do we really just bake this?”
🤣
I really enjoyed the dump cake one too.
Meh. I’d try it, if the peanut butter is not sweetened. Just love onion in a sandwich so much, and don’t like the peanut butter and jelly at all.
The floor is cooking.
PB and S…S for sardine
I eat these all the time. They are fantastic.
This was Fred savages characters favorite in Little Monsters.
This was a minor plot point in the Little Monsters movie from the 80s. I never did try that sandwich… maybe I’ll give it a shot some day since I love both peanuts and onions.
My favourite topping for fries is Patat Oorlog where you have mayonnaise on one side and peanut sauce on the other, with diced raw onions sprinkled on top. Based on that, this sounds delicious, especially if you put a squirt of sriracha on there too and ate it with potato bread.
I know the above is for yucks, but I ran out of jelly so I put bread and butter pickles on my peanut butter sandwich this morning and it was transcendent.
What the fuck
Don’t worry about it. Just move on. Some people just have fucked up taste buds. It’s some error of evolution that just hasn’t been bred out.
Pickles with peanutbutter is actually fairly tame and pretty common. I see it suggested all the time.
Not a big deal.
That’s a pretty typical sandwich.
If you wanna get crazy, try a peanut butter, oven roasted deli turkey, and vanilla yogurt. Goes best with BBQ chips for a crunchy contrast.
Or add a chunky slice of Swiss cheese to your next PBJ.
A peanut butter sandwich is pretty versatile.
I’d caramelize the onions. I bet that would be pretty good on a toasted peanut butter sandwich.
Oh god I love caramelized onions, underrated ingredient
Yeah… I think you’ll find caramelized onions are not even close to “underrated”.
I meant more underrated as a sweet treat or toast spread, it’s very common as a meal ingredient.
Hi from the Netherlands. We do fries with weird and copious amounts of sauces. Also we do weird snacks.
From our colonialist past we have appropriated peanut based satay sauce. We put that on fries, together with mayonnaise and chopped onions, we call that ‘war sauce’.
Also we have a snack that is called the ‘bears paw’, which is a meat ball, cut into slices and skewered intermittently with sliced onion. This is deep fried and often served with peanut sauce.
So both raw onion and caramelized onion can work with a peanut based sauce.
Eh, I would try it. I don’t think it would taste -great- but could be a unique flavor I hadn’t considered before.
I just keep thinking of Kung Pao. It’s got onions and peanuts in it with an overwhelming peanut oil/butter flavor that permeates the whole dish.
