"Ask Me About a Fluffernutter..."

[Owen Bawn]

I was raised on 'em. Haven't had one in years. My son still takes one for lunch almost every day. Of course, he's like I was at his age: he can and does eat at least 2 lunches a day and never gains an ounce!

I wish I still had that problem. I miss not seeing my feet from a standing position!

Yeah they can't be an everyday thing past a certain age. I probably have Fluffernutters a half dozen times a year. Surprisingly, this past spring I ate a lot of them on matzoh. I usually get 2 boxes of whole grain matzoh each Passover just because I like it. But this year my wife came home with 2 cases- so that was 12 boxes of matzoh. I was making matzoh brei with eggs, I was using it in soups, and I discovered that you can make a mean Fluffernutter with matzoh.

I could eat that now. You are pretty smart my friend!

Traditionally white bread is used but I haven't had sliced white bread in the house in years. I use whatever I have- usually an oatnut or some kind of whole multigrain bread. In recent years I've toasted my Fluffernutters, but never did so when I was a kid. A couple warm Fluffernutters and a mug of hot cocoa or cold chocolate milk and I'm in comfort food heaven. I've never had a bad Fluffernutter!

I think I remember reading that you never had one. Have you tried one yet?

Thanks for the reply.

Seems I can't find any Fluff here in Tacoma. I can only find Jet Puffed. I hear that Fluff is the better tasting of the two. So I haven't tried one yet.

Guess I'll just have to get the Jet Puffed and give it a try.

Kraft Jet Puffed is all I can get in most shops here in SW Ohio as well. It works just fine. We're not talking about looking for the finest 12 year old single malt scotch here, lad. This is egg whites and sugar.

Not a fluff but I have a friends family puts maple syrup on peanut butter sandwiches. I thought it was weird until I tried it.

My favorite thing is peanut butter, banana and honey. I bring them on fishing trips often. No need to refrigerate and very filling. Made extra one trip because friends had never tried one. Both buddies thought it was amazing.

Elvis Presley's fave was a peanut butter, bacon, mashed banana, and honey sandwich grilled in a cast iron skillet in either butter or bacon fat.

Well, now that explains a lot!​

I believe @emwolf and @Clay S both posted in this thread that they've enjoyed variants on the Elvis PB, bacon, banana, & honey sambo.

I slice the banana and hold off grilling it. I had a friend who would eat peanut butter and bacon sandwiches before going on a mountain bike ride.

A few months ago in the Breakfast thread I mentioned that I made a Fluffernutter for breakfast that day- a staple treat from a New England childhood. It's simply peanut butter & marshmallow 'creme' on bread or toast. In New England "Fluff" is the most prominent brand of marshmallow creme, and in the 50s-60s they had a catchy TV ad campaign for the sandwich they christened the "Fluffernutter," although the sandwich itself goes back at least to WWI.

So then some enterprising wiseacre B&B moderator added "Ask me about a Fluffernutter" to my avatar, and believe me I've been asked. DMs, questions in threads, you name it. I kinda like the attention to be honest... So this post will be something to which I can direct the curious when they ask about the Fluffernutter. With resources!

The Gooey History of the Fluffernutter Sandwich

The classic New England sandwich became popular as way to support the World War I effort at home, and has only grown in status since.

It's so much healthier to make it from scratch...

Recipe: Homemade Marshmallow Fluff

Sometimes there are so many reasons why we should DIY instead of buying pre-made goods at the store. From being more cost-efficient to making things healthier, building your own homemade pantry might seem to be more hands-on, but it sure has its perks. Even something as commercialized as...

I imagine Fluff would clog up any razor. Mom's not gonna be happy when she sees this...

I prefer plain peanut butter, no Fluff, no jam, no fruit. A close second is white toast with peanut butter and currant jelly. However, a spoon of Fluff on a hot fudge sundae instead of whipped cream is pretty fine.

I had a couple of Fluffernutters and a glass of chocolate milk this morning.

"On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me... three Fluffernutters... two chocolate milks... and some sweats with an elastic waist band."

Grew up in Western Mass and Fluffernutters were my favorite.

As my longtime state senator from South Boston, William Bulger used to say, "He says he's from western Mass. He must be from Newton."

Hope you enjoyed your Fluffernutter today. Was happy to see you had one!

 

[FarmerTan]

Sounds delicious! Great custom title too! It is an honor to get one. It means they like you very much.

They must LOVE me then, probably because I show you so much respect 'Dawg!

I've always felt so bad fer that feller that got stuck with the goose dropping title!
