I remember Elvis Presley…

I received this jar of made-in-New-Zealand peanut butter…

*Archive photo*

…from my godson/ex-student in New Zealand and I could recall my nephew from there eating that with bananas and since I had the fruit in the house, I decided to give it a try and shared the photograph…

…on Facebook.

Goodness gracious me! The response was overwhelming and there were so many comments. A coursemate of my girl who was in Wellington, New Zealand with her exclaimed with excitement at the sight of it…

…and said that she was so hooked on this particular brand of peanut butter those years when they were there.

Then there were a lot of people saying that they loved eating it that way with bread. I think my nephew did have it as a sandwich but I do not quite remember now…and my ex-student/lawyer friend, Louis, said that it was Elvis Presley’s favourite sandwich. Ah yes! That sure helped refresh my memory regarding that as I did come across that sometime somewhere but his had bacon in it.

There were others who said they loved it with jelly added – I think they call that Fool’s Gold Loaf and since I had the peanut butter and some jam (Chivers’ raspberry) in the fridge, I decided to have a go at it and went out and bought some bread, half loaf.

Now how do you like to toast your slices of bread? I am not fond of using the toaster – for one thing, I would have to take it out of the cabinet to use for just a few slices and then I would have to clean it before putting it away. I prefer toasting my bread on a non-stick pan…

…until it is lightly crusty on the outside, still soft on the inside.

I still had my Golden Churn butter in the fridge so I applied that on both slices…

…and then I applied the peanut butter on one slice and the raspberry jam on the other…

Lastly, I added the bananas, sliced…

…before putting the sandwich together…

Oh me! Oh my! It was so very nice that I just had to have another one…

…but I had to stop there as I was already so very full after the second round.

It so happened that I did have some bacon in the freezer at this point in time so no prize for guessing what I had for breakfast the very next morning…

Gosh! It sure was so so so good! I certainly would not look at sandwiches…

…the same way again!
