The Deliciousness of Peanut Butter
- Thread starter Schwallacus
- Start date
Leave it in the fridge and it'll get crunchy as hell (but you'll have wasted your nutella)
I have to note that every single time I have been around a crunchy/smooth debate it is (1) started by a crunchy fan, and (2) the next 10 people to spout off are all also crunchy fans.I'm tempted to draw some lesson from this but that's probably unfair. But is so so consistent. Like real peanut butter.
For my part, it's not really a debate because it's not comparing what crunchy fans purport to be doing. Crunchy is not a form of peanut butter. Crunchy is either not-quite-finished peanut butter so some of the peanuts are not fully creamed, or peanut butter with something mixed into it. Which it's fine if you like that, but nobody wants to argue whether peanut butter with chocolate chunks is a better peanut butter than than peanut butter. If you like peanut butter with something in it, vaya con Dios with my blessing, But it's not a better peanut butter. It's just peanut butter with something in it.
Now, to digress, if you want to discuss food preparations that are interrupted partly done, let's talk pancakes where both outsides are fully cooked but when you put your fork in it the middle you get uncooked batter.
That's a piece of heaven on a plate.
But back to peanut butter, chunky is weird. Who mixes unfinished elements of a fully prepared dish back into a finished product? It's like making a perfectly popped bag of popcorn and then adding 10% uncooked kernels on purpose. Or taking a perfectly fine bottle of wine and plopping a handful of sliced grapes in it. Why? Why would you do that?

JGarrettLieb might fight you if you did that to wine. He really likes wine. He also can't hear you because he likes heavy metal so speak up. But I digress again. Smooth. Which is to say, I like peanut butter, as opposed to peanut butter with something in it.
done this before. its doesnt get crunchy it just gets hard. its not as bad as youd think i used to do this as a little kid. Then i would just scrape at it with a spoon and it eat it right out of the jar. Still its a total waste as it tastes much better in its original form

You people make me sick, a grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire forum consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this thread is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own thread entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over NYCFC Forums and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this thread this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own thread just because I know this one exists now.
You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.
This is turning into one of the greatest threads in forum history.
If smooth peanut butter was so smug and the only peanut butter type, then why does it need the suffix "smooth" in front of it? Are peanuts really an addition to something that is just a different form of itself? I understand where you're trying to go with the chocolate chunks in peanut butter, but chocolate is different than a peanut. Crunchy is just a different form of peanut butter in my opinion, thus why there is the difference between "SMOOTH" and "CRUNCHY." If Crunchy was a form of peanut butter with something in it, would it not be called something like "Peanut Butter along with Peanuts" or "Peanut Butter with Crunch" to distinguish it is a mix, and not a single form of peanut butter?I have to note that every single time I have been around a crunchy/smooth debate it is (1) started by a crunchy fan, and (2) the next 10 people to spout off are all also crunchy fans.I'm tempted to draw some lesson from this but that's probably unfair.

Don't bring pancakes into this, unless peanut butter is a favorite topping of them. That's acceptable.
Unfinished elements are fine to add to food/drinks. Some people love pulp in their orange juice/lemonade. Some people love to have fruit in their sangria. A smoothie will never be 100% smooth, bits of the fruit and seed will be mixed in, and that's fine.
does pulp in my orange juice cease to make it orange juice? i think NOT!
When people are consistently confused and mistaken, you often have to explain seemingly universal undeniable facts, and address them as if they are children. It doesn't make them right, or alter reality.
Children you say?

11. Women and children prefer creamy, while most men opt for chunky.

Sangria is vaguely acceptable if it's over 90 degrees. It should never be confused with wine though.
Otherwise I would just grab the bottle and pour it out on the person that committed such sacrilege, it's a more productive use of the wine.
