I've been looking forward to today! I'd never really had peanut butter until a couple of years ago, my mum doesn't like it so it just wasn't a thing when I was a kid. Since I've started eating it I've not been particularly adventurous with my peanut buttering. So this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do some exploring…
1st investigation: Smooth vs Crunchy!
I've never had crunchy peanut butter before so I had to check it out. I went to the supermarket and bought a tub of smooth and a tub of crunchy. There were a few options of each available but I went for the cheapest of each even though they look like they have differing levels of fanciness.
Not wanting to consume huge amounts of bread (I didn't want it to be my entire dinner) I went for a half and half approach.
The winner: Crunchy! It was really good and the texture wasn't at all off-putting like I thought it might be.
2nd investigation: The peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
So as well as not having had crunchy peanut butter before I've also never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Now that I'd figure out my peanut butter preference I paired it with jam.
It was pretty good...but I wasn’t sold on the crunchy texture with jam, I think smooth would have been better. Just as well I own both now!
Peanut Butter day...7/10. I’m into it and it was fun figuring out my preferences but it’s not my favourite food ever.
