sounds very tasty!

Sounds like a disgusting combination... peanut butter & bacon! But, I'm sure many of the things I eat together would sound gross to others too...
like,
Mayonaise on my cooked broccoli!
Salt & butter (no syrup) on my french toast :)
Butter & sugar (no syrup) on my waffles & pancakes

I'm sure I have others too, so I guess I'd be willing to give yours a try! :)

I had one of these a couple weeks ago, minus the preserves and butter. It wasn't even needed.

Hey Shannon,
I agree. Just an added twist to make the sandwich SOUND more unusual!
Marie L. Nov 5, 2007, 3:51pm UTC
Now that's an interesting combination! Not sure if I would like it or not :-)
Marianne M. Nov 5, 2007, 4:08pm UTC
Definitely not for everyone!

Interesting. Not sure if I'll give this a shot or not. Have you tried it out on kids? What do they think about it?

Just me and my daughter. Husband & son wouldn't go for it. My son at age 23 still likes his pb with grape j (he's a purist). I'm sure it's not a sandwich for most little kids.

Thanks Melissa!

The apple would go with either bacon or peanut butter. I'm just not sure that I would care for them together. However, I'm willing to try most anything.

Oh wow! This sounds scrumptious!

Hi Susan,
I like this sandwich a lot, but it's not for everyone!
