Sunpat reminds me of cowpat. And who in their right mind would buy the brand 'Mr Brains'?!

PB, Marmalade and banana Yummy.. gotta be crunchy though preferably Waitrose PB.. much better then Sunpat.

rod03801: When I was in high school, every day I walked home for lunch and had a PB & miracle whip sandwich. I don't think I could eat one today - just sounds gross thinking about it, but I sure loved them then. Now PB & Bannana - yum.... that does sound good just thinking about it.

Currently the "big" thing in our house is PB & cinimon sandwichs. yum...

I always did say that pb&bananna was a NH thing! lol

I like my PB and banana sandwiches with a little bit of Miracle Whip. Adds just a little zing. Most people tell me it sounds gross... but try it! It's great!

nobleheart: Hmmm.. I should try that!

ScarletRose: my dad used to eat peanut butter & olive sandwiches...weird huh?

Rose: Peanut butter and Dill pickles sammies.. Yummy!

Eriisa: yup! sorta but do u smush pb an cheeze whiz together? LOL

I've had them on toast. Does that count?

Who's tried grilled PB sammiches.. OR PB an cheez whiz?

I guess I might as well admit that I had a wonderful peanut butter and bannana sandwich last week............

ScarletRose: I loved those when I was a kid. ;) With bananas too! mmmmmmmm
