Could be a different kind of 'baccer too. No peanuts grown anywhere around here. Burley tobacco is what is/was grown in this area. That may be the difference. Down south they grow flue cured tobacco and that's where peanuts grow too, so probably different sprays.

We always treated the seedlings in the tobacco bed then sprayed for "blue mold" and suckers and that was it.

It was a sad, sad day when they pulled them off the shelves...I had like 10 jars of it in the pantry, and I had to bring it all back for a refund I was half tempted to eat it anyway......

Actually...if you read the label you'll find that it's mostly partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat) and other hard to pronounce toxins. This creamy, cancer causing concoction is about as close to real peanut butter as Peter Pan is to reality.

Your poor corrupted taste buds. They've lost their taste for real food!

Much thinner. Milder tasting. Totally different taste. It is more pasty than oily. I prefer almond butter due to its texture. However, cashew butter would probably do really well in sauces or dips.

Almond butter is totally sexy. Yum.

I really am incorrigible...but I'm hardly the "Queen Of Junkfood"

Honestly, I'm one of those "Crunchy Granola" types (for the most part). I'd love to do all organic, but the rest of the Izzes would lynch me if I were to even try

I do love my Peter Pan, but my second choice is the Wild Oats natural stuff I have in the cupboard.

Saccharine even

I too only eat homemade peanut butter.
I only use peanuts I personally grow in special soil that's been ritually cleansed by an old Aztec shaman.
The shells are returned to the land as compost.
I'd never use a commercial blender because stainless steel blades which may be toxic when swallowed and the plastic may drop molecules of polymer into the food.
I use a special stone morter and pestle I crafted from a sacred stone harvested from deep beneath the ocean and purified for 40 days and 40 nights by sacrificing an unblemished calf descended from the very cow once raised by Gilgamesh King of Uruk in the presence of Inanna the goddess for it's holy milk.
The oil is, of course, pressed by me from olives I grew in my 2075 year old olive tree once touched by a disciple of Jesus. The press is built completely from wood once used for a temple to the Budda in Myanmar.

Which disciple, and what did he touch it with?
