I’d caramelize the onions. I bet that would be pretty good on a toasted peanut butter sandwich.
Hi from the Netherlands. We do fries with weird and copious amounts of sauces. Also we do weird snacks.
From our colonialist past we have appropriated peanut based satay sauce. We put that on fries, together with mayonnaise and chopped onions, we call that ‘war sauce’.
Also we have a snack that is called the ‘bears paw’, which is a meat ball, cut into slices and skewered intermittently with sliced onion. This is deep fried and often served with peanut sauce.
So both raw onion and caramelized onion can work with a peanut based sauce.
Oh god I love caramelized onions, underrated ingredient
Yeah… I think you’ll find caramelized onions are not even close to “underrated”.
I meant more underrated as a sweet treat or toast spread, it’s very common as a meal ingredient.
The floor is cooking.
I know the above is for yucks, but I ran out of jelly so I put bread and butter pickles on my peanut butter sandwich this morning and it was transcendent.
What the fuck
Don’t worry about it. Just move on. Some people just have fucked up taste buds. It’s some error of evolution that just hasn’t been bred out.
That’s a pretty typical sandwich.
If you wanna get crazy, try a peanut butter, oven roasted deli turkey, and vanilla yogurt. Goes best with BBQ chips for a crunchy contrast.
Or add a chunky slice of Swiss cheese to your next PBJ.
A peanut butter sandwich is pretty versatile.
Eh, I would try it. I don’t think it would taste -great- but could be a unique flavor I hadn’t considered before.
I just keep thinking of Kung Pao. It’s got onions and peanuts in it with an overwhelming peanut oil/butter flavor that permeates the whole dish.
based tbh id eat this high af at 2 in the morning
There’s not enough weed in the fucking world to make me eat this.
id be eating this shit sober. looks delicious with an edge.
I bet it would taste good if you cooked the onions down until they are caramelized. I think the sweetened would complement the peanut butter similar to jelly.
goddamnit i have to do this now.
e: ok so instead of caramelized onions i have a smattering of diced onion and jalapeño, fried in olive oil with a small amount of mostly burned parmesian. it’s sweet and spicy and bitter, and i’m going to make it into an ill conceived grilled cheese + peanut butter.
god give me strength.
I’ve never thought to add onion to pb toast, but Id be willing to try, (Dont knock it till you tired it?) the most questionable thing in this is, is that the floor?
If guess it’s a wooden countertop or cutting board?
Could be a wood counter top, seems a bit large for a cutting board?
That looks awful!
You just slice the onions and you get flat little circles prefect for sandwiches. You don’t need to chop them up like that. It’s not a hot dog.
Meh. I’d try it, if the peanut butter is not sweetened. Just love onion in a sandwich so much, and don’t like the peanut butter and jelly at all.
My uncle’s favorite sandwich is onion and strawberry jelly.
Challenge accepted! What type of onion does he prefer? Red?
I do not know that he has a preference.
PB and S…S for sardine
I eat these all the time. They are fantastic.
This is only tangentially related, but in Wisconsin they have a local delicacy called a “Cannibal Sandwich” that consists of raw ground beef and onions, and this just looks like the vegetarian version of the Cannibal Sandwich to me.

Cannibal Sandwich? THATS A DELICIOUS METTBRÖTCHEN! EIN SEMMEL MIT KÖSTLICHER BAUARBEITERMARMELADE! DON’T CALL IT CANNIBAL SANDWICH!
Oh I’ve never heard of that! My dad grew up in West Germany, and he would always have Braunschweiger and brown mustard on rye, which I sometimes liked sometimes didn’t, but I’ll have to get my meat eating roommate to try this Mettbrötchen and report back. Seems like a classic working class lunch
This was Fred savages characters favorite in Little Monsters.
This doesn’t sound terrible? Maybe not good, but not awful? Especially with a very mild onion and slightly sweet variety.
Take a vidalia onion, cook it down a bit and I think you’ll have something.
I have actually done this, 6/10, not horrible but not something I would actively make again unless situations were dire. It is slightly above average because it is better than what your brain is telling you while you’re making it.
Dylan Hollis, Tiktok food screamer atter guy, among the many depression era baked goods he’s tried was a “peanut butter onion.” Recipe: Hollow out an onion. Mix some bread crumbs into some peanut butter. Pack the peanut butter mixture into the onion. Bake. Eat.
One of many depression era recipes where I’d rather eat the ingredients individually than try to make something out of them.
I remember that one!!! And your definitely right about that. It did not look good at all!
“Do we really just bake this?”
🤣
I really enjoyed the dump cake one too.
Hey, don’t knock it!
We have a pretty decent snack around here, buttered toast topped with a bit of sliced onion and a pinch of salt, and a chonkily diced tomato on the side for zest!
Edit: well, in all fairness, the traditional snack uses preserved cooking fat obtained from roasting sausages and such (we roast the sausages at once when preparing stockpiles and store the fat in jars for later use in different dishes), but I prefer it with a nice and thick milk butter.
