Merikins have slang words for pretty much every type of food you can think of but I have never heard a slang term for peanut butter. Is there one?

PB-- but only in the context of PB and jelly sandwiches
I love the stuff... for sandwiches, or for cooking with..
its makes pumpkin soup special, and i like it in an african style sause (with hot peppers)for --Ground Nut Stew
peanuts have lots of alternate names.. like goobers.. but peanut butter is just plain old peanut butter, (chunky is better than smooth, too, in case you are interested!)

Yep, and it made the screen go wide, too. Thanks, Pfranz. I always love a challenge. Dody dear, other than the aforementioned PB, I can't think of anything but don't lose hope -- there's a whole continent Up Over known for its slang that is yet to be explored.

well, though it's a brand name, we do occasionally call it "jif", even though we may be eating another brand.
and I think I prefer creamy...

MMMMMM-mmmm...definitely creamy--I don't like lumps; all that peanutty, slightly salty flavor just bursting all over your tongue...delicious! Just a big ol' spoonful of it, straight from the jar! And on a sandwich, with jelly (hi, Jo)...taste bud heaven! <EG>

Starting with Ground Nut Stew a chichen stew made with an assortment of vegetables, and a gravy made from peanut butter, garlic, hot peppers, ginger onions, red palm oil-for which you can substitute tomatoes and coconut milk, and lots of other goods stuff.. and i'll continue..

PB for peanut butter but only rarely.
I like the stuff. Creamy if with something else, chunky if alone.
Besides, it's fun to give a big spoonful to the dog!!!!

The sandwich referred to commonly as "PB&J" certainly abbreviates peanut butter with the first two letters.

The debate at work last week was whether or not to put butter/marg on the bread before you add the PB.

It's one of those rare foods that are neither sweet nor savory so it goes with almost everything. I was shocked to discover an ex-boyfriend was right, peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches are actually tasty. and you thought PB and celery was weird!

Could never bring myself to eat peanut butter, the thought of it what it must taste like makes my stomach go urrrgggghhh! Rather like a Big Mac. And I did try one of those once; the beef was OK, but everything else...urrrgggghhh!
Please don't think I'm having a dig at American food, we've got lots of urrrgggghhh! over here too...tripe, haggis, whelks, jellied eels, pickled eggs...so on.

My daddy (Merkikan through and through) has always called peanut butter "teddy bear poop". Now if that isn't enough to gag ya, I don't know what is (ceptin' for haggis, of course).
It didn't stop me from enjoying my crunchy PB at any time either as a youngster or now. PB&J - actually, PB and strawberry jam- now that's a good Saturday lunch!

Thip! Sthip! Thip. Hey, gimme a beer to get this farking awful taste outta my mouth! i reckon we've found the root of the problem, dear... PB doesn't *go with beer. it goes with milk (yuck) or better yet grape soda. and to keep this word-related, i'm not so sure that PB is really all that unique in not having a 'nickname'; i mean, do most foods? oranges? milk? bacon*?
*i'll thank those canadian and welsh not to launch into a diatribe about how 'merikins have no business calling our bacon 'bacon' in the first place

Yes, guest, getting back to dody's first comments:
Merikinsthis word really is a no, no, but that is besides the point have slang words for pretty much every type of food you can think of but I have never heard a slang term for peanut butter. Is there one?
Do we USer's have slang words for every type of food? we often have many names for food, and names for different types of the same food. pone/mush/grits/kernels-- for different ways to eat/prepare corn maize, and we have lots of names for some foods (coffee comes to mind, with coffee, java, cup'a joe,etc)
When the english (in particular) first settled here, they found themselves confronted with new foods.. the soil and climate of NE (or Virginia, for that matter) is not well suited to growing wheat--it will grow, but not as it does in the champion regions of england..
and native foods grew so much better.. so they were confronted with trying to make 'old home style foods' with out the old ingredients. and corn maize, is so different than wheat, or barley, or any other old world grain--and it wasn't just corn that was new...
so many everyday foods that we don't give a second thought to, are from the americas.. the old world domesticated animals, but here in the americas, the first people domesticated plants..
sunflowers (seeds and oil)
pototoes
chocolate
pineapples
avacados
chili (and all sorts of peppers)
pumkins/cuccumbers (some melons did grow in old world, but most varieties eaten today are from america)
and of course, the topic of converation, peanuts!
which are really a legume, and with other american legumes/beans, are again, more of the commonly eaten varieties of beans today (old world beans, like flava beans, have less protein, and are harder for the human body to digest)
So people tried to make bread out of corn, (but since it has no gluten at all!) it doesn't 'bake up' like bread.. and corn breads got 'new names'--some are hobson jobson words, like 'journeycake' or pone, which come from indian names for flat cakes make from ground maize and fat. and some new foods, like peanut butter were made to help create an appatizing food from something (peanuts) that were generally used for animal fodder and feeding slaves (fitting then, that a former slave first made it, and promoted it)
but goodness knows, the country that gave us 'toad in a hole', 'spotted dick' and 'bubble and squeek', and hundreds of other weird names for foods should be commenting about USer's slang for food..
but i will agree, SOS(shit on a shingle) is one of the more interesting slang terms for food that we have

Merikins this word really is a no, no
No, no, it's Merkins that's a no-no (if you wish to cave to the puerality of the English school boy). What Ms skins said was Merikins

>And have you any idea how difficult it is to find anything about Java on the internet without having to wade through pages and pages of stuff about coffee and computers? It's not hard at all. Just go to Google's Advanced search page enter Java, and tell it to exclude the words computer and coffee from the search, and see what happens. http://snurl.com/268n

Or, without going to the advanced search page, precede the terms you want to exclude with a minus sign (-) and the ones which must be in the results with a plus sign (+). So (like if you click sjm's link) for the search in question you type
Java Indonesia -coffee -computer
and this excludes coffee and computer pages, and saves having to use the Advanced Search page.

Handy tip, Bean. I didn't know that Google used "-" - I would have tried "NOT". Now, can you score bonus points by teaching me how to specify a date limit and language filters without going to the advanced search page?
