I've pretty much given it up for several years since my son was diagnosed as allergic. I've had it a few times since but not in over a year. I've got a jar of Sunbutter in my drawer that I just ate on high fiber wheat thins. Just as good as PB if you ask me.

I'm not eating anything with pb.

jiff is supposed to be ok

Not a fan of PB, so I don't miss it. My teen boys however are not happy! I refuse to buy it.

Trish in SC

The boys love PB...oldest ones fav sandwich right now..Organic Crunchy PB...with Organic Hazelnut Chocolate spread.

I've got a big jar of Almond butter I bought on Friday..Haven't cracked into yet...Maybe I should break off a hunk of bittersweet chocolate and try it??!!

I don't eat alot of bread..sooo sandwich is pretty much not happening..

I might make "almond butter" cups...hmmmmmm....

Does sound like chocolate and "nut" butter is winning...

I made peanut butter cookies last week. They're about gone. Publix had a BOGO and I picked up crunchy by mistake. DH is the PB eater around here so I guess I'll be making LOTS of cookies.

I wouldn't eat it out though. Don't know where it came from. But JIF is okay according to their website.

No, I made some celery with peanut butter this past weekend. The jar has been in the house a while and was nearly empty anyway. Have another one we've been eating out of too and no one has gotten sick.

Nope, still buying and eating peanutbutter, and cooking with it.

Kathleen, I thought I was the only one who liked celery with peanutbutter. And here I am with no celery today..see what you started..got the urge now. :)

I just had celery and peanut butter for afternoon snack!

I grew up having stuffed celery with cream cheese OR with pimento cheese.

Recently at potluck, someone brought peanut butter stuffed celery. Not my cup of tea!

I won't give up peanut butter on my morning toast.

Try peanut butter on a slice of crisp apple!

I blame our system of food inspectors for not catching this sooner or turning a blind eye. It sounds as bad as all the food scandles in China and definitely criminal. So many of us are avoiding Chinese processed foods. Hate to have to write off peanuts from the USA too.

Oink ....Oink....I love peanut butter and eat way too much. During my chemo when I could hardly bring myself to eat anything, I could always get peanut better and jelly down. Red meat and eggs that I needed to eat made me choke just thinking about it...but peanut butter...an easy one for me.

Ruthie, when I was pregnant with the boys..often PB was the only "protein" I too could manage...A big old spoon or two through out the day..

It's easy food!

I'm still eating peanut butter.
It's so good. I love a big spoonful any time of the day!

My Peanut Butter was bought before the "scare". It's my Protein pick me up. Love it.

Peanut Butter sold in jars at the grocer is perfectly safe.

It is other products like cereals,cookies,crackers,candies and dog treats containing peanut butter or paste.

Here's the entire list. Click on the items for specific products.

Glenda you were right to pass on the pie unless it was made from brand name peanut butter on sight. Sara Lee recalled their pies and they are a major supplier of restaurant pies.

Here is a link that might be useful: Peanut Product Recall

I stocked up on PB, just in case. One just never knows, how far this scare goes, and I don't want to run out. :)

No, I don't push it away, but I also don't eat out, and don't do pie.

Moni

Nope...I'll just ask God to Bless my food and feel safe...LOL

patti (who bought two jars of jelly last week and someone gave Denny a gift set of 4 jars the next day....so we gotta have pb.)

Peanut butter in this house belongs to me and only me! DH doesn't eat it. Well, he will in cookies! LOL
PB on apples, celery,toast,bread or by the spoon is wonderful stuff!!

Don't do peanuts - mostly not peanut butter. I had scarlett feaver and a relapse as a child. The Ranger Hal show was giving away Schwinn bikes for Schindler's peanut butter labels. They kept talking about it and that really made me sick. Since then event the smell of the stuff sets my stomach into shock. Everytime I get really sick, i.e., flu or fever, it comes back - I can't even look at a jar. Someone who has migraines that resulted from polio, told me that my case was a mental/emotional scar left over from the scarlet fever. My ex is from GA, and loves peanuts and peanut butter. I'm sure he's not indulging now though. He's had severe food poisoning from eating on the road and is very sensitive about that kind of thing now, thank Goodness.

I wouldn't touch PB now if my life depended on it - in this case it might depend on not eating it.

The peanut butter and paste were contaminated at least since July from that factory. I suspect for years and years though as I read the descriptions of what was going on from plant employees.

Anyone given up peanut butter for a while?
No, it is an important staple here and I must remember to stock up more after reading Moni's post.

Sue...who wishes she had that peanut butter pie you turned down...sigh

My wife is a PB fan. One day, I walked into the kitchen to see what she was going to snack on; She was busy making a peanut butter and lettuce sandwich - Who'd thought!

Yep, she did examine our PB stash and threw out anything whose label markings she could not identify.

"Don't do peanuts - mostly not peanut butter. I had scarlett feaver and a relapse as a child. The Ranger Hal show was giving away Schwinn bikes for Schindler's peanut butter labels. They kept talking about it and that really made me sick."

Gneegirl, can you explain a little more? I had Scarlet Fever when I was 5 years old, and I know that Scarlet Fever has nothing whatsoever to do with peanuts or peanut butter.

Is it just that you had Scarlet Fever and because you were sick and didn't feel well the constant commercials for the bike and talk of peanut butter labels "got to you" and now peanut butter brings back bad memories?

I eat a peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day. So I guess the answer is NO, we haven't given it up. I do miss the cheese/PB crackers DH used to buy.

Watching the news last night, they said another person had died from the bad pb. They should charge the company employees that knowingly sent the stuff out contaminated with murder.

gneegirl, I understand your feelings about pb. And that you are JUST associating pb with your illness.
Thank you for sharing.

I didn't drink fresh orange juice for many years, cause when I was sick as a child, my mother would mix with her freshly squeezed orange juice and cod liver oil.

I still have flashbacks to drinking that stuff as a youngster.

My jar of Peanut Butter is about empty, but I will buy more.

Jemdandy, you reminded me of something I had forgotten; PB and lettuce sandwiches. I used a little mayo to help spread the PB, and always used wheat bread, Delish!

Sue

Gneegirl, I feel the same way about Butterfinger candy bars. I ate a huge one at my cousin's house when I was a kid and it made me throw up. I've never been able to eat another one in my entire life. Even the thought of them makes me queasy.

I had a stash (several jars) of pb in my pantry so around here it's pb as usual :-)

Our family is still eating Jif - love it!
