PB Food: Hot Dogs & Peanut Butter???

2006-08-19T14:55:00.000-07:00

Nicole Weston from SlashFood.com blogged about Peanut Butter HotDogs. At first even , Miss Peanut Butter Lover, thought hmmmm maybe this combo is a no go, but of course I would never say any PB combo was bad, now would I! Frankly, peanut butter and hot dogs actually sounds quite tasty - that is if you are open minded about different foods across cultures. We often think of peanut butter as a food that goes sooo well with sweet condiments such as jams, jelly, & honey, but peanut butter is also used in many savory dishes. Okay, in some cases PB is not directly used, but similar types of sauces, such as in Thai cooking, use a ground peanuty sauce. If you like chicken with peanut sauce or a Thai Pad noodles you probably won't mind hot dogs and peanut butter...just takes some finessing. My best suggestion is sausages & peanut butter. So give this one a try before forming an opinion!

See my PB Food Series for an authentic recipe for Thai Peanut Satay & Sauce (key ingredient = peanut butter) - like of course!

Brief Peter Pan Peanut Butter History

Shack this!

According to Wikipedia Peter Pan Peanut Butter, a brand of Con Agra Foods, was named after the J.M. Barrie character in and debuted in 1928. Although originally produced by the Swift & Company who at the time first called the peanut butter , "E.K. Pond," the new name quickly became a success!

Advertising Peter Pan is Like ... Magic!

According to Rick Plummer who wrote the article, "Peter Pan Peanut Butter & the Sky King Show," Peter Pan was separated from the other Derby product departments in 1940, and marketing became a individualistic effort. Derby Foods set the pace for nationwide distribution by being the first peanut butter to use national advertising in the mid 1940's. The "Sky King" sponsored by Peter Pan, and when it moved to television, they continued to sponsor it there." After learning reading this, I asked myself what in the heck is the "Sky King."

Shack this!

Classic Vintage Poster of the "Sky King" with Costar Gloria Winters (shown above)

Plummer had an answer for that too, he says, "The "Sky King" radio serial began on October 28, 1946 and ran daily. The show was 15 minutes in length. In 1947, it ran on a Tuesday and Thursday, each show lasting 30 minutes.

Note: PB should not be confused with Dulce de Leche! Nor should you only think of American style peanut butter … I am here to educate you on all sorts of nut butters as well as cover yes, the stereotypical classic American style peanut butter. I am mainly a veggie, but do eat eggs & milk products, also love seafood & game, in moderation, darker meats with more moderation! If you’re being honest with yourself, you can't say you don't like a high quality cut of steak, duck w/ plum sauce, or freshly prepared high grade sushi! I enjoy life! I smile a lot & am always positive in the worst of situations! I have future plans to do a Masters in Food Sci & Culinary Arts, the big "W” question, WHEN looms, as other life pursuits take over. I am currently enjoying some time off, I'm not a baby boomer, & that is just the thing! You don’t have kids & then let your kids define you. Secondly, why not enjoy extended time younger so you can do some of the more active things many seniors can’t do as easily. Anyway, I recently moved a ton of stuff in storage, and now I'm free as a butterfly, free from things that comfort us, but also bog us down!

PB Food: Is Peanut Butter A Healthy Snack?

2006-08-18T12:29:00.000-07:00

Shack this!

Okay, yes the real question comes in from a Yahoo! user: Peanut Butter? Is it a healthy snack for someone trying to lose weight? Nutritionist SoySista64 weighs in with an astounding YES! "Peanut butter does have fat in it, but it is monunsaturated fat which is wonderful for your heart. Saturated fat is what you have to watch out for. Peanut butter is great because you need healthy "unsaturated" fat everyday for satiety and for your heart. Just watch your portions. I recomend no more than 1tbsp a day and you can pair it with a slice of whole wheat bread and a banana. Yum!"

And of course I also agree with much of the discussion on Yahoo! Answers! Peanut butter is a wonderfully filling protein rich option to spread on something like wheat bread or crackers to give you a balanced boost before a workout or other daily tasks remaining. In fact, if you like celery (and I do), the old "kids" snack consisting of peanut butter spread inside celery stalks "PB Logs" is a fabulously crunchy juicy option as well. ~ Miss Peanut Butter Lover

Day 73:Peanut Butter & Celery

"Today I have reinstituted an old snack from my younger years. I love peanut butter and celery. I used to eat this all the time. Some people put raisins on this snack as well, but i stick with the two main ingredients. I figure the healthy aspect of the celery will counter balance the unhealthy aspects of the peanut butter. After my first snack that included this delicious pair, I decided that it must be healthy and good for me since it tasted so good. It is common knowledge that foods that tastes sinful, rarely is. It is usually the healthiest. Well this may not be completely true, but after a little digging, I found that the Zone Diet does have several recipes that include peanut butter.

The four recipes I found were for a bacon and apple sandwich that uses peanut butter as the condiment, a piece of toast with peanut butter as the topping, a waffle with peanut butter and apricots as the topping, and a Thai dish that uses peanut butter as a sauce. I had never really thought of two of these uses, but they might be worth a try. Once again the Zone Diet has found a way to include everyone’s favorite foods into the diet."

So back to peanut butter, one will often find me eating like a bird, picking off the muffin top first and crumb by crumb with a small spoon (if handy) savoring such delights!

Peter Pan PB Magic: Peanut Butter Rescues Military

2006-02-26T05:32:00.000-08:00

Letter to Peter Pan:

Dear Peter Pan Peanut Butter Manufacturers,

I am currently out to sea floating around in circles defending the American Way of Life. I am serving in the United States Navy upon an Oiler homeported out of Norfolk Va. The reason I am writing you this letter is three-fold.....

1. I am bored,

2. I'm hoping you will send me lots of free stuff,

3. To let you know how your peanut butter is responsible for saving the lives of many, including me.

We are usually out to sea Monday thru Friday. We try to get home one or two weekends a month. All those stories you hear about how good Navy Chow is are lies. I have been on active duty for 17 years. The motto of the Navy's Cooks is "Death from Within". They do their damnedest to try and live up to that motto. I'm telling you, If this were a prison instead of a mighty warship, I would start begging for the lethal injection.

All the jobs in the Navy are passed out by aptitude tests. If you are too stupid to chip paint, you get to be a Navy Cook. An example of our menu items....

Hamburgers (with some real beef contents) over cooked so that they are bowl shaped and crispy on the edges.
French Fries that are still frozen in the middle.
Fishheads in Orange Hollondaise sauce. (At least I think that's what that crap was they tried to feed us last night)
Pancakes that double as emergency tire repair kits.
Chili that has no chili powder in it, but is loaded with hot sauce. Gauranteed to give you an ulcer.
These people can even mess up Kool-Aid. What kind of idiot can't make Kool-Aid? There is usually not enough water or sugar. It's like drinking Green Persimmion juice. It takes about one hour after drinking this Kool-Aid for your mouth to unpucker enough to fit a cigarette between your lips.

But if we are lucky, we might have a jar of Peter Pan Extra Crunchy Peanut butter. Put some of this on a World War II era chewy stale saltine cracker and you would swear that you just sat down for dinner at Spago's.

There is no chance that anyone in my house suffers from arachibutyrophobia.

That's the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. My family has nerves of steel and eager taste buds when it comes to peanut butter. We gobble it up on bread so fast that the nutty spread doesn't have time to get stuck anywhere, except maybe to our ribs.

We are not alone. America is the biggest peanut butter-loving country in the world with more than 500-million pounds consumed annually. Average American kids will have eaten 1,500 peanut butter sandwiches each by the time they graduate from high school. Hundreds of lunch boxes will cradle PB&J sandwiches next week when kids begin returning to Tampa Bay area schools. Even more will be offered on cafeteria lines.

Last year, about 58,000 pounds of peanut butter were served in Pinellas County public schools, where peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches are on the menu every day from kindergarten through high school, says food services director Gray Miller. That's the equivalent in weight of nearly five adult African elephants.

For every kid you know who loves peanut butter, there's an adult out there who loves it even more.

It's easy to find adults who eat peanut butter -- creamy, crunchy, low-fat, natural, whatever -- by the spoonful. Celebrities admitting to a peanut butter habit include Larry King, Jack Nicholson, Dan Rather, Madonna, Cher, Julia Roberts and Michael J. Fox. Elvis Presley's grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich is legendary.
