The Elvis. The sandwich American rock singer Elvis Presley made famous. Peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Grilled like a grilled cheese sandwich.
Addendum: I am allergic to peanut butter. I got ahold of a soy-based alternative called Wowbutter, and people who are not allergic tell me they nailed the taste, but the aftertaste is kinda not good. So, the first thing I did was shove a whole teaspoon-full of it in my mouth. My brain goes “you dumb fuck, you’re gonna die,” but I didn’t, because it wasn’t toxic. So I went and tried everything made with peanut butter (BTW, strawberry > grape for PB&Js), including the Elvis. A lot of it was kinda gross. I guess if you were raised on peanut butter, maybe, I can see it, but I didn’t think the experience was anything special. Not when Nutella exists… which I also can’t have. But then there’s Biscoff spread, which is non-toxic, apparently it’s also vegan (wouldn’t peanut butter be, too?), and it’s ten billion percent better than all that other shit. Though, you would be absolutely right in saying I’ve never had real peanut butter, or your favourite variety of it.
As someone not allergic to peanuts, but who grew up in Europe, I was probably about 20 when I tried peanut butter for the first time. I agree with you, it’s meh. Not terrible, not great.
Nutella, ovomaltine, pistachio or white chocolate spreads are much better. Never tried biscoff, sounds promising.
Wait just a minute! You’re comparing sugary spreads to our peanut butter? Imma remember this next time somebody from Europe gives us shit about sugar in our sandwich bread.
I’m kinda the opposite of you. I’m American and grew up with peanut butter. I didn’t try Nutella until my 20s, and while it was ok, I didn’t think it was nearly as good as what people made it out to be.
While I don’t have peanut butter often nowadays, it’s still one of my favorite things when added to sweets, like peanut butter cups or peanut butter fudge. Peanut butter + chocolate is a heavenly combo.
Biscoff butter is great. Absolutely horrendously unhealthy IIRC, but tastes great.
Also, there are so many chocolate spreads out there that are a hundred times better than Nutella nowadays, don’t sell your palate short!

The trick to peanut butter on toast is to butter the toast with cow butter first
Also the trick to extra good PB&J
