Yes , it ’s November , and apparently National Peanut Butter Month . If you get into these form of occasions , perchance , as J - Plautzreported , you could begin investing in peanut butter diamonds , or if you ’re " feeling nontextual matter " maybeVik Muniz ’s " Double Mona Lisa ( Peanut Butter and Jelly ) " is the way to go .
candidly , I could n’t care less that it ’s Peanut Butter Month , and when March come & it ’s straight - up Peanut Month , I ’ll be as enthused . That ’s because I still ca n’t stand to be in the same room as peanuts , or any other nut . It ’s too soon . Do you require to know why it ’s too soon ? It ’s too before long because I ’ve hang out of love with nuts . I ’m officially an ratter of the nut realm .
develop up , I was the pickiest and most maligned eater ever give birth . I keep cosher without even knowing it , and would inspect the entrails of a simple baked potato ; in short , I had combine number . finally this fussiness found an acceptable outlet under the aegis of vegetarianism , sometimes veganism if I was really into a sure Moby record album . But even though a goober was n’t work from an creature , I still hate the thing , and extended prejudice to their kin .
Then , around 20 , something happened– I ’m assuming witchcraft – and I descend in love with the things . I incorporated them into every possible repast : " Lasagna ? bully – I’ll just add a small cashew nut butter " ; " Are the guests here ? I ’ll just rive unresolved a new bag of chile - linden tree - peanut vine . " No salad could stand alone without a quota of almonds . And then , recently , I began hating everything they stand for , and now I ’m one of thoes people squint onto labels hoping not to find a " processed with equipment shared with peanuts and other nuts " caveat .
( To be fair to the nuts , I ’ve also had hatred - love - hate involvement with Haribo " Citrus paradisi " slices and Zea mays everta . I ’m back on with liquorice , but the passion seems too hard to last . I ’ll save my confect - tailor sulfuric acid for some other meter . )
Has anyone else ever had a love affair ( as in , with a beginning and end ) with a particular solid food ?
