What is your favorite brand of peanut butter? Do you prefer the smooth or crunchy, and what's your favorite way of eating it?
I can kind of guess the brand that some of you prefer, because I used to go to Costco and pick up the American brand for missionaries regularly, as Costco is the only place in the Uk (to my knowledge) who sells it!
The leading brand here, I would say is Sun Pat, and I prefer the smooth kind.
I only eat it as a sandwich, on its own with butter, boring I know , but I was once given a slice of peanut butter cake, and that was pretty good too.

I prefer Jiffy to any other brand. I don't know why, it just has a more roasted peanut flavor. Other brands like Peter Pan and Skippy taste sweeter and I don't like that at all. Jiffy is not generic, but its not top shelf either, so its a good mix of flavor and price.
As for how I like it, when I was younger, I always liked it chunky. But now, I prefer creamy for some reason. Its best to just spread it over a piece of bread and enjoy it with a glass of milk. Not the best for weight loss, but I only indulge once in a while.
My favorite for wonderful flavor is Laura Scudder's All Natural. However, it has no preservatives, salt, binders, etc., and so it separates the oil and the ground peanuts. Which means you have to stir it each time you want to have some, AND you have to keep it in the refrigerator. So, two strikes against it for spreadability.
Skippy, Jif, and the store brands all taste exactly the same to me so I get what's on sale. I prefer the chunky kind, on whole wheat bread with "bread and butter" pickles. Delightful!
And I can't stand peanut butter cookies. Bleagh!
