When I think of my dad, I think of a few things - his goofy sense of humour, his love for Tinkerbell (which I've canonized on my leg in tattoo form), his amazing ability to make box-mix pancakes taste out of this world good, his trailer potatoes "with the spice rack" that he'd foil grill on the Coleman every summer, and his favourite breakfast/snack/anytime food: peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Ideally, he'd opt for sliced bananas on top of the gooey PB and honey combo, and the bread could be white, whole wheat, toasted or not - it was all about the sweet/salty/gooey concoction, not the mere vessel for it's journey into the mouth.
That said, in my own idealization of the dish (I guess you could call it that, although a recipe for it would be rediculous to write down), I'd pick a nice simple whole wheat slice, Kraft "Light Smooth" peanut butter (I grew up with it and hate the taste of "regular", and really hate the texture of any "chunky" PB), and either a local buckwheat or a rich Manuka honey. Bananas for me are in general too sweet (I am the kind of person who eats them mostly green with just a trace of yellow), and the texture of them along with the "too-runny" consistency of peanut butter on hot toast weirds me out. Oh, and the open face combo trumps a top "crust", IMHO.
Sheesh, I thought I wasn't too picky about my PB & H, but apparently I'm wrong!

Simple recipe and a tasty treat! Classic combination of PB & Honey - love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange how we grow up with one thing and we never stray from it?
ReplyDeleteLove this!
The simplest recipes are often the best. I enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteAlaiyo
Oh yum! I loved eating this when I was a kid too!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you still enjoy it.
PB & H is perfectly legit! My dad loved stranger things for breakfast, like a good, stinky cheese topped w/ plum butter for example. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried this combination, but think it might be making an appearance in the lunchbox this week!
ReplyDeleteYou are picky! Just like me! When you know what you like, that's what you like. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the classic combo :)Simple and tasty!!
ReplyDeletePeanut Butter & Honey sounds pretty cool! I'd have it! In fact I may try it now :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe and love the photography... especially the Honey! Thank you for sharing during #Sundaysupper!
ReplyDeletepeanut butter and honey is my FAVORITE!
ReplyDeleteThis just gave me an idea for lunch boxes tomorrow as I forgot I was out of lunch meat. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSimple but so yummy! I used to make sandwiches of pb, honey and banana all the time!
ReplyDeleteI've never had PB&H, but I love all the ingredients so I think I will be giving it a try. Peanut butter toast is a go to breakfast for me, next time I will drizzle some honey on as well.
ReplyDeleteMy girls love peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Audrey needs the bread toasted and enough honey to soak the bread. We try not to have them too often!
ReplyDeleteTBH I don't know if I've had honey with peanut butter. I love that honey shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combo, pb and honey rocks. I love the tink story. Adorable.
