I don't like peanut butter in candy bars or cookies, just on toast, pancakes, or waffles.

My family (and extended family) has always eaten pancakes and waffles with either peanut butter and syrup or peanut butter with a jelly or jam. Yum! It must not be a common thing because we tend to get strange looks or comments from boyfriends/girlfriends, prospective members of the family, etc. Please tell me others eat peanut butter on their pancakes and waffles too!

I've eaten peanut butter on my pancakes since I was a kid...must be a Utah thing....

The peanut butter thing, on waffles and pancakes; this is the first I ever heard of it, today. So it must be a somewhere else than Calaforny thing...
just ran an office poll. One lady said she heard of including it in the batter from a recipe....

PB & Marmite!???

Admittedly I've never had Marmite, but I have bought some 1kg tubs of Vegemite over the years so I know what sort of goo it is, and I just can't see it with peanut butter. Gad, I'm getting horribly thirsty just thinking about it. PB & banana slices, PB & honey, PB & banana slices and honey, PB & jam, jelly, preserves, etc., but PB and Marmite? Do you suck on bouillon cubes for candy?

English cuisine....

Well, I'm a CA native, and my family ate PB on waffles and pancakes (usually on waffles; syrup, more often, on pancakes).

Then again, my dad's from Wyoming, so maybe he imported the habit . . .

My folks also used to cook strips of bacon into our waffles, actually laying them in the batter before closing the iron so that it was cooked into the waffle itself. Then topped with butter, sometime PB, and syrup. Why we didn't all have heart attacks by age 16 is a mystery.

The PB and marmite thing seems suspect, to me . . . Ick.

Yes. Crepes.

Funny that they don't call them something like ... you know ... crepes.
Must be that whole British Francophobia thing...

Great recipe Amar. Methinks I'll try it this week. I love sun dried tomatos. I like them in spaghetti sauce, on eggs, in cream cheese

(Hey, did you shrink those pictures?)

I tried peanut butter and Marmite. I had too much Marmite.

A salty brown paste made of old dead brewer's yeast--the UK equivallent of the Australian vegimite. It's vile.

Vile is an extremely charitable term.
Marmite is the most disgusting thing ever made - apart from The Quiet Man, of course.

Oh. I always assumed that marmites were little bugs which crawled around in MarMil's ears...
