This thread topic came up on another board I'm a part of and was pretty interesting, so I'll borrow the title from them.
1. As for me, never a day goes by that I don't have peanut butter. Sometimes multiple times. Seems I almost exist on the stuff. Mostly as an accompaniment to the supper on some chewy whole meal bread. But a light lunch could be just peanut butter on crispbread, or sometimes with a tin of sardines or pickled herring. And if I can't somehow manage a full supper, I've often just had peanut butter on toast, perhaps with some no-sugar preserves.
And my peanut butter of choice is Adams, which is nowt but peanuts and less than 1% salt. Made by Smuckers. It's the kind one has to stir up to get the peanut oil on the top back into the rest. Kind of a pain but I'll take it any day over the processed kind that is no-stir and has the feel and consistency of Crisco.
I also like the crunchy chunky and get that occasionally-
Being hypertensive, I probably should get the no-salt versions of both of these. And I've tried to like them, but they have a very flat taste. I don't reckon the relatively small amount of sodium here has a great influence.
2. It's been my custom for quite a few years now to have a cup of low fat fruit yogurt before I retire. I normally avoid sweets, and this is really the only sweet thing I have on any kind of a regular basis. Plus it promotes good gut health.
I really like the Brown Cow brand, as they don't use HFCS. Yes they do use cane sugar and maple syrup. And nothing artificial-
So that's me. Howse about youse?
Cheers,
RR
