peanut butter problems

[baratron]

I've been meaning to post this poll for about a month, since the last time Tim & Peter came round and ate peanut butter at me...

[Poll #352174]

You see (in case it wasn't obvious from the wording of the poll), I have always treated peanut butter as butter, and put it directly onto bread. I do the same thing with almost everything I put on bread - chocolate spread and even jam (only Marmite gets put over a layer of non-dairy butterlike stuff). But Tim & Peter both put normal butter on first, then a fairly thin layer of peanut butter. I think this is strange and mutant behaviour!

Peter has an excuse in that he is Dutch, and has thus grown up calling p.butter "peanut cheese". But Tim has no excuse, and moreover thinks I am the weird one for not putting normal butter on first! So who is right? Or at least, who is more in line with what "normal" people do? ;)

We buy all natural peanut butter (and/or grind our own peanut butter) which is vastly less salty, adding the butter actually adds a bit of saltiness to the mix as well (which I like, with the sweetness of the jam and the peanuttiness of the peanut butter).

Yeah on the all-natural/low-salt stuff. I like stirring the oil into it, too.
