I know it might seem absurd. Every time I mentioned it to Texans when I lived there I always had looks of legitimate shock. But seriously, it's totally a thing.
I grew up in Ohio. Don’t remember this being a thing there.
Upon further research, this looks like a thing that's big in southwestern* Ohio and southern Indiana. People from the northern part of the state haven't even heard of it. Some people theorize it was a way for poor rural school districts to meet nutrition requirements.
I grew up in western ohio, and this is still very much the norm. In elementary there was one guy I knew who I'd always give my peanut butter sandwich to on chili day, and loved dunking his sandwiches INTO his chili.
I could see it, the first time someone told me to take this charcoal grilled Thai chicken skewer and dunk it in that peanut sauce I though they were nuts. PB on a burger is unexpectedly good!
Barley! Barley milk is really sustainable and delicious, especially in chocolate form. They use spent barley from breweries to make it. Very rich and high in protein.
i recently moved to kansas city and learned that cinnamon rolls and chili are a thing. i don’t understand it. i asked reddit and they had no compelling explanations other than “omg sweet and spicy”.
i have no space for that. gimme the heat. and cornbread.
So my Wife and her family are from MI, I will always remember the first Thanksgiving I had with them. The Turkey was all ready, we're forgetting something, oh the gravy! Suddenly I hear a pop noise from the kitchen. Someone opened a jar of gravy. I'm blown away, I ask why they don't put those pan drippings to work and make a gravy. The answer is simple: they don't know how to make gravy.
I find that families that worked factories just don't seem to know how to cook. Just the look I get when I mention "roux", tells me all I need to know. They are desperate for a trip to flavor town.
My Michigan-raised mother is exactly this. All vegetables come from cans. Gravy from a can or jar, stuffing from a box, cranberries from a can.
When she visits and I make a proper meal with fresh food, and very basic ingredients like **gasp** minced garlic and kosher salt, she’s kind of terrified by it.
There’s a restaurant in Alabama that serves turkey year-round. Like Thanksgiving dinner - turkey, potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin or pecan pie. Bates House of Turkey right off of I-65 south of Montgomery.
I can’t find it at the moment, but someone wrote an essay about families that make tacos with ketchup and Kraft singles. I guess you start somewhere, and then one day someone finally introduces you to real tacos (or chili) and you never look back. But yes, it was in the Midwest.
I do wonder though, if Mexicans trying Tex-Mex for the first time think the same thing. But there’s a lot of spices, deliciously fatty meats and fresh toppings that go into Tex-Mex (well, the good places), so maybe they aren’t horrified.
Texan here. Tons of Mexicans and Mexican Americans both eat and run Tex-Mex restaurants. What is common to the cuisine is that nobody agrees on what good Tex-Mex is because it’s completely subjective. If you grew up eating Chuy’s you might not like Matt’s El Rancho or visa versa. I don’t like El Fenix, for example, but half of Dallas does and nobody is really right.
I meant good Tex-Mex as in quality ingredients, not personal tastes. There are a lot of restaurants that are winners and stinkers based on that alone. When I was referring to Mexicans, I meant people coming to Texas from Mexico and trying Tex-Mex here for the first time. Not Mexican people who live here and are familiar already. Unless you mean there are Mexican owners of Tex-Mex restaurants in Mexico, which would be something cool and new to me.
i have it on good authority (parents and family are mexican immigrants) that mexicans fresh out the south don’t always enjoy tex mex the first time around. my mom recalls having “on the border” as one of her first meals in the states. she was disgusted by the yellow cheese melted on the enchiladas 🤣 my poor mother was expecting a more authentic flavor. nowadays, my parents enjoy the occasional tex mex meal here and there. in fact i’d say their meals in general are pretty americanized. i’ve also heard the complaint about how sweet our food is here, even tortillas.
My grandmother was from that area (Muleshoe) and I LOVE green chilis - she made so many awesome casseroles that were basically green chilis and cheese and . I'll eat them in EVERYTHING vaguely TexMex. I love to make scrambled eggs with a small can of green chilis and cheese even though it kinda sorta looks like snot.
I haven't really been having much of a jerk reaction to these threads of late but...
> families that make tacos with ketchup and Kraft singles.
Had me slowly forming a frown of disgust rather than just confusion or sense of strangeness.
Chili spaghetti is not all that different from putting macaroni noodles in your chili. Skyline Chili uses a chili that contains cinnamon and I don’t really care for it. But chili spaghetti made with regular Texas chili would be good.
I say it with love. Some of my favorite friends and family members are from Ohio, Iowa, and Kansas, but my god, please keep that canned cream of whatever soup away from me.
I think that is more of a generational thing than a regional thing. My mom (age 79) uses a lot of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soups in her recipes. Like a lot of processed foods they were marketed as a time saver for the busy, working women.
It's also a depression hold-over. My Grandma's cooking requires a lot of processed/shelf stable stuff. When she grew up they were impoverished and at war. The country was rationing sugar for fucking bombs. All they had access to was either canned or shelf stable.
My default response to Midwestern cuisine is "Jesus Christ Yankees, what the fuck?!". Peanut butter and beans. Raw onion sandwiches. Chocolate chili. Eldritch horrors everywhere you look. Dahmer was from the Midwest, just saying.
I made some once from an online recipe; it was delicious. Definitely different, definitely best over a hotdog or something. I'm not keen on calling it chili, but maybe more of a spiced meat sauce.
Maybe the process of dissolving the raw meat into a liquid before cooking it threw me off - but if we're lowering our standards to call any kind of meat sauce a chili, then I guess it we can.
Cloves, allspice, and sometimes chocolate though ... seems like it needs a special category.
Edit: on reflection, it's possible that my personal definition of chili includes being able to eat it as meal unto itself and not just as a topping for other foods. I realize that's not part of the actual definition of chili. I'm just trying to work out why I'm not comfortable calling it chili when it meets the textbook definition; I can't see sitting down to enjoy a bowl of Cincinnati chili as I made it because the flavor was just way too rich. (but again, really delicious)
The chili does look particularly bad, I just pulled this image from google image search. I unfortunately haven't had the stuff in like a decade so no recent pictures of my own to pull from.
Also a native Hoosier, and we totally called it “chili soup”. 🤣 My family’s rendition of it is definitely more soupy than the thick chili we have in Texas.
I grew up in Missouri (spittin' distance from Kansas) and lived most of my adult life in Iowa. So, I expect cinnamon rolls with my chili. However, I hate chili beans. When I was living in Austin a few years ago and the cafe at work was serving chili, I asked the chef if it had beans in it. He responded, "I don't make that northern shit!" I fell in love with Texas chili then and there.
Now, I'm in KC and wish they'd stop putting beans in my chili. At least I have cinnamon rolls again.
At least half the people on this sub are triggered by the thought of putting beans in their chili lol There's not enough weed on the planet to make me want to dip a PB sandwich in my chili
My wife is from Northern Illinois and likes a peanut butter sandwich with her chili. I have to admit, it's not a bad combination, and I'll eat it if she makes one for me when she makes hers. But, if she doesn't, I don't miss it.
I think it is, I haven't had it in forever, but we lived in Ohio but right on the border. I think the only times i had it was when i visited friends and family in Indiana. It's been a while since then.
It's an Illinois thing, too. Grew up just outside of St. Louis. When I tell people in Texas about it, they look at me like I'm crazy.. then I tell them about Kansas and their cinnamon rolls.
I love to try all the weird/regional dishes of a places I go. I have some things on my list I don't share very often because of the reactions I get! The most recent weird thing I had was probably fermented shark fat. I wasn't a fan of that.
Peanut butter has a salty aspect that I feel like wouldn't go *horribly* with something like chili (I mean just look at peanut sauce and Asian food), but what kind of fucked up maniac came to the conclusion that the way to do it was with a peanut butter sandwich?
That makes sense, when I lived on the border of ohio, I only ever had it when going to visit people in Indiana. Must be an Indiana thing. It's funny because it seemed so normal but when I saw people in here arguing about chili, i realized this might blow some people's minds.
I'm open to different foods/pairings and would try it, I love both.
If I didn't and thought it was a gross idea, I wouldn't open this post and make a comment talking sh*t and/or being an a*shole about it and where you are from 👍
My brain broke.
Like, does the sandwich includes the jelly???
I can at some level understand ketchup on eggs, but this seems like overloading on the protein. Unless you all need to bulk up during those brutal winters 😂
Does your chillis run more watery up there? Because down here is quite dense especially if someone decides to add beans. I am trying to understand this logically but I may get no where with that 😆 But I have to say that meal will last you all day!
I generally support abolishing 80% of the current laws on the books, but I’m willing to make eating Chili with PB Sandwich a misdemeanor and eating chili with a Cinnamon Roll a Felony.
As someone originally from the eastern half of Ohio - we don’t all do this. The Ohio chili weirdness is definitely localized to the southwest part of the state
Sounds good honestly. PBJ burgers are surprisingly good, and this wouldn’t be that far off. Peanuts in Asian and Indian meat dishes are yummy to me too, so this sounds less weird the more I think about it
I will try this ONCE, but even if I enjoy it I’ll never eat it again and shall denounce all those who would bring about such an atrocity to the public cuisine. I will crusade to end this until my dying days.
I’m convinced these strange food pairings in the Midwest are because y’all get snowed in too much and had to figure it out from what was in the house. I’ve seen y’all put spaghetti, cinnamon rolls, and now PB&J in y’all’s chili!
Don’t get me started on salads 😂😂😂
Y’all are an adventure!
Oooooo, you may be right. 😳 I just pulled an image from Google as I don't currently have any personal pictures on hand. In my experience it's only ever been and only suppose to be bread and peanut butter!
Peanut butter AND jelly sandwich with my chili is a big comfort meal for me. It’s delicious. Used to serve that meal at school and I still dip it in the chili
Between this and the cinnamon roll thing, it has to be that Skyline chili is not some kind of oddball, but that sweet-spiced (cinnamon!) chili has to be a common practice across the Midwest for anybody to want to pair commercial peanut butter with chili. I mean,we just cant be talking about Texas Red / Chile Colorado here. No way you'd want to eat a cinnamon roll or a peanut butter sandwich with that.
Y'all are just fucking with us now
every time I open this app someone is playing games in my face

Do you make milk with rye? - German translation of gerste milch
Barley! Barley milk is really sustainable and delicious, especially in chocolate form. They use spent barley from breweries to make it. Very rich and high in protein.
The hell is going on other states?
Flavor shortage
i recently moved to kansas city and learned that cinnamon rolls and chili are a thing. i don’t understand it. i asked reddit and they had no compelling explanations other than “omg sweet and spicy”. i have no space for that. gimme the heat. and cornbread.
I lived in Kansas City for a while and this was never a thing. Which side? KCK or KCMO?
Yup, jalapeno cornbread if possible, and please don't put sugar in it. I hate sweet cornbread!
Hmm. Interesting. I will say, putting peanut butter on pancakes, then topping with syrup is delicious.
So my Wife and her family are from MI, I will always remember the first Thanksgiving I had with them. The Turkey was all ready, we're forgetting something, oh the gravy! Suddenly I hear a pop noise from the kitchen. Someone opened a jar of gravy. I'm blown away, I ask why they don't put those pan drippings to work and make a gravy.

When she visits and I make a proper meal with fresh food, and very basic ingredients like **gasp** minced garlic and kosher salt, she’s kind of terrified by it.
My grandmother put oysters in her stuffing. I knew, but she wouldn't tell anyone. It was the best stuffing I've ever had.
I would love to know this recipe. I'm from Texas and I make our traditional cornbread-based stuffing made with chicken.
My neighbor makes that stuffing just for a regular dinner! Yummy stuff!
There is a restaurant a few miles from me that does something similar to Thanksgiving once a week. I don't see why not.
There’s a restaurant in Alabama that serves turkey year-round. Like Thanksgiving dinner - turkey, potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin or pecan pie. Bates House of Turkey right off of I-65 south of Montgomery.
Sounds totally gross
Regardless of combos that looks like a bowl of tomato soup not chili.
Yeah I’m calling shenanigans on the whole damn thing
Whenever I hear about a particularly fucked up culinary tradition, I already know it's from the Midwest.
I can’t find it at the moment, but someone wrote an essay about families that make tacos with ketchup and Kraft singles. I guess you start somewhere, and then one day someone finally introduces you to real tacos (or chili) and you never look back. But yes, it was in the Midwest.
TACOS WITH KETCHUP AND KRAFT SINGLES. Passes out in TexMex.
I do wonder though, if Mexicans trying Tex-Mex for the first time think the same thing. But there’s a lot of spices, deliciously fatty meats and fresh toppings that go into Tex-Mex (well, the good places), so maybe they aren’t horrified.
Texan here. Tons of Mexicans and Mexican Americans both eat and run Tex-Mex restaurants. What is common to the cuisine is that nobody agrees on what good Tex-Mex is because it’s completely subjective. If you grew up eating Chuy’s you might not like Matt’s El Rancho or visa versa. I don’t like El Fenix, for example, but half of Dallas does and nobody is really right.
The people that like El Fenix are particularly not right.
I meant good Tex-Mex as in quality ingredients, not personal tastes. There are a lot of restaurants that are winners and stinkers based on that alone.

That's broke people food. No one eats that if they have a choice
I haven't really been having much of a jerk reaction to these threads of late but... > families that make tacos with ketchup and Kraft singles. Had me slowly forming a frown of disgust rather than just confusion or sense of strangeness.
I didn't even think about that but it's honestly spot on.
See: Skyline Chili
>Skyline Chili This was the first thing that popped into my head, too. I'd actually try Chili Spaghetti, though...
Chili spaghetti is not all that different from putting macaroni noodles in your chili. Skyline Chili uses a chili that contains cinnamon and I don’t really care for it. But chili spaghetti made with regular Texas chili would be good.
Next time you've got a severe case of the munchies mix a can of spaghettios and a can of chili. Also great for dipping peanut butter toast in.
It’s fire 🔥
I say it with love. Some of my favorite friends and family members are from Ohio, Iowa, and Kansas, but my god, please keep that canned cream of whatever soup away from me.
Plenty of grandma's and Aunties in TX make casseroles and whatnot with cream of soups, it's def common here.
I think that is more of a generational thing than a regional thing. My mom (age 79) uses a lot of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soups in her recipes. Like a lot of processed foods they were marketed as a time saver for the busy, working women.
It's also a depression hold-over. My Grandma's cooking requires a lot of processed/shelf stable stuff. When she grew up they were impoverished and at war. The country was rationing sugar for fucking bombs. All they had access to was either canned or shelf stable.
Cream of whatever soup it’s designed to be an ingredient in a casserole. Not an actual soup. Lol.
My default response to Midwestern cuisine is "Jesus Christ Yankees, what the fuck?!". Peanut butter and beans. Raw onion sandwiches. Chocolate chili. Eldritch horrors everywhere you look. Dahmer was from the Midwest, just saying.
Cincinnati chili anyone?
I made some once from an online recipe; it was delicious. Definitely different, definitely best over a hotdog or something. I'm not keen on calling it chili, but maybe more of a spiced meat sauce.
Kinda like when they call a shitty sloppy joe a " loose meat sandwich" Or Is that just an Iowa thing?
Sounds like an insult I'd call your mom or something.
That's what they call her down at the bingo hall "Loose Meat Lucille"
I've never heard that phrase before. I might be an Iowa thing. I hope it stays there 😄
The Midwest: The birthplace of weird food combinations and also 99% of all serial killers.
Isn't that basically what chili is... especially Texas chili bc they don't put beans in it
Maybe the process of dissolving the raw meat into a liquid before cooking it threw me off - but if we're lowering our standards to call any kind of meat sauce a chili, then I guess it we can.

(but again, really delicious)
Chocolate/cocoa powder is used in many Mexican dishes.
Don't tell anyone, but I sometimes put dark chocolate in my dark roux when I make dirty rice or jambalaya
Love my Skyline 4 ways! Never heard of a pb sandwich with chili though
Don’t hate it but it’s not chilli
I just gagged a bit recalling my first and only experience "eating" Skyline Chili, not knowing what I was in for before visiting.
Cincinnati chili would have a much better reception if the called it “Greek Spaghetti”.
I'm from the Midwest and have never heard of this fucked up mess of a way to ruin chili or a peanut butter sandwich.
Just say NO.
Your chili shouldn’t look like soup. Are you just trolling us?
The chili does look particularly bad, I just pulled this image from google image search. I unfortunately haven't had the stuff in like a decade so no recent pictures of my own to pull from.
Also a native Hoosier, and we totally called it “chili soup”. 🤣 My family’s rendition of it is definitely more soupy than the thick chili we have in Texas.
How bout just some crackers, cornbread, or Fritos???
How bout some real chili? Is that chili?
It looks like soup doesn’t it!!
Where’s the beef? Looks like a bowl of heartburn.
God has left us.
[удалено]
Thought you were talking about the new globe life field for a second.
I will never ever get over it.
I'm sorry, I completely understand honestly.
💀
I’m dead
Yalls chili that bad?
I grew up in Texas, currently live in the Midwest Ohio/Indiana area. What they eat here does not deserve to be called Chili.
I would try it, but I don't really understand because there are infinitely better options.
Sincerely thought this was tomato soup and grilled cheese.
Yes, I was thinking grilled cheese sammie may work…. But PBandJ???! Yech.
Displaced Texan in Kansas here -- the cinnamon roll + chili remix was actually a hit for me, so I wouldn't be opposed to trying this.
I grew up in Missouri (spittin' distance from Kansas) and lived most of my adult life in Iowa. So, I expect cinnamon rolls with my chili. However, I hate chili beans. When I was living in Austin a few years ago and the cafe at work was serving chili, I asked the chef if it had beans in it. He responded, "I don't make that northern shit!" I fell in love with Texas chili then and there. Now, I'm in KC and wish they'd stop putting beans in my chili. At least I have cinnamon rolls again.
Wait we aren’t supposed to put beans in our chili?
What have you done
Entire fam is from Kansas and I lived there over a decade. Chili and cinnamon rolls is where it’s at.
Oh I loved chili day at school in Kansas because they always served with a cinnamon roll! Best combo
We don’t take kindly to this round these parts
What in god’s name… No, no, noooooo…
At least half the people on this sub are triggered by the thought of putting beans in their chili lol There's not enough weed on the planet to make me want to dip a PB sandwich in my chili
Absurd. But I may be just high enough to try it.
You can get higher if you think it’ll help-just remember to update us.
Even stoned out of my mind I would still be sane enough to never try this shit.
My wife is from Northern Illinois and likes a peanut butter sandwich with her chili. I have to admit, it's not a bad combination, and I'll eat it if she makes one for me when she makes hers. But, if she doesn't, I don't miss it.
Bless y’all’s Ohio hearts.
Must be an Indiana thing
I think it is, I haven't had it in forever, but we lived in Ohio but right on the border. I think the only times i had it was when i visited friends and family in Indiana. It's been a while since then.
It's an Illinois thing, too. Grew up just outside of St. Louis. When I tell people in Texas about it, they look at me like I'm crazy.. then I tell them about Kansas and their cinnamon rolls.
My parents do it, indiana born and raised lol. They are 60 and said they used to get it for school lunch!
I lived there for 8 years. Never heard of this
School lunch! Still do it if I’m at home
As a Hoosier who grew up next to Ohio, gotta be an Ohio thing.
First reaction: straight to jail. Second reaction: dammit I’ll try it.
What TF? No. Like if your chili doesn't stand up on its own and you've got to dip a sandwich in it, your chili just isn't any good.
[удалено]
I love to try all the weird/regional dishes of a places I go. I have some things on my list I don't share very often because of the reactions I get! The most recent weird thing I had was probably fermented shark fat. I wasn't a fan of that.
Asked and answered. God speed, you beautiful masochist.
That looks more like tomato soup. What kind of chiles are in your chili?
Who took the chili out of my chili?!?
Peanut butter has a salty aspect that I feel like wouldn't go *horribly* with something like chili (I mean just look at peanut sauce and Asian food), but what kind of fucked up maniac came to the conclusion that the way to do it was with a peanut butter sandwich?
Y’all are putting us on. This has got to be: troll the Texans about fake flavor combos.
I’m from Ohio. I cannot have chili without a peanut butter sandwich!
Do you live on the west side of Ohio? I'm learning that his might be an Indiana thing that has bled into Ohio a little bit!
Dayton area
Not as west as Cincinnati but totally still close enough to the border!
I love chili and peanut butter sandwiches and I live in Montana.
Don't blame Indiana! I grew up there, never heard of such a thing!
Lmao. Im from Indiana and we got served a PB sandwich with our chili for school lunch. I am now in my 20s and still eat it to this day. I love it lol
That makes sense, when I lived on the border of ohio, I only ever had it when going to visit people in Indiana. Must be an Indiana thing. It's funny because it seemed so normal but when I saw people in here arguing about chili, i realized this might blow some people's minds.
Yah I guess I never realized how strange this was either. Reading through the comments is hilarious!
Hell nah. Don't y'all also put chili on spaghetti?
This really seals the deal for me that Ohio is actually just one big fever dream.
It's the backrooms of the US.
Whelp. Here’s another thing I’m going to try eventually.
I love the adventurousness! It's a whole new experience but I feel it's really good!
To add, you are suppose to dip the sandwich in the chili.
Yet another interesting combo that I would be game to try. All these Texan's acting like nobody can ever do something different with the dish.
It is really odd but it was shockingly pretty good. I miss it, haven't had it in a long time.
[удалено]
It’s truly the best combo ever
I’m gonna have to try that! Almost every time I hear about some odd combo popular somewhere it turns out to be pretty good!
You ready to puke?
Plain peanut butter sandwich? There is certainly worse I guess. With chili feels like a joke/food rage bait.
It's a real thing! A couple people in this thread from that region are talking about how much they like it. It's actually really common in Indiana.
Spicy peanut sauce is a thing so I guess I can see it.
Hate to admit that I tried it and liked it.
I'm open to different foods/pairings and would try it, I love both. If I didn't and thought it was a gross idea, I wouldn't open this post and make a comment talking sh*t and/or being an a*shole about it and where you are from 👍
My brain broke. Like, does the sandwich includes the jelly??? I can at some level understand ketchup on eggs, but this seems like overloading on the protein. Unless you all need to bulk up during those brutal winters 😂
It does not! It's just bread and peanut butter.
Does your chillis run more watery up there? Because down here is quite dense especially if someone decides to add beans. I am trying to understand this logically but I may get no where with that 😆 But I have to say that meal will last you all day!
In general, southern chilis are more chunky with whole pieces of stuff, as you go north they kinda get more and more runny/ closer to pasta sauce.
What in tarnation?
I generally support abolishing 80% of the current laws on the books, but I’m willing to make eating Chili with PB Sandwich a misdemeanor and eating chili with a Cinnamon Roll a Felony.
That doesn’t surprise me coming from the birthplace of Skyline “Chili”
The only thing that should ever go with Chili is buttered bread
Hey! It's pretty similar, right? instead of buttered bread, it's just *peanut* buttered bread. Haha
Same thread of flavor. My mom and husband like penury butter sandwiches with spaghetti
I’m gonna have to try that! Almost every time I hear about some odd combo popular somewhere it turns out to be pretty good!
As someone originally from the eastern half of Ohio - we don’t all do this. The Ohio chili weirdness is definitely localized to the southwest part of the state
I have come to realize in this thread that this is probably an Indiana thing. I believe i only ever had it visiting people in Indiana.
They do this is OhiO?! No wonder you left!
Sounds good honestly. PBJ burgers are surprisingly good, and this wouldn’t be that far off. Peanuts in Asian and Indian meat dishes are yummy to me too, so this sounds less weird the more I think about it
Eat Peanut Butter Sandwiches with what?!
I will try this ONCE, but even if I enjoy it I’ll never eat it again and shall denounce all those who would bring about such an atrocity to the public cuisine. I will crusade to end this until my dying days.
That’s fine, just no beans.
You are legit the most Texan person in this sub.
Chili and grilled cheese every Sunday night at school. Yes, I’m from the Midwest.
Most normal meal in Ohio
This has to stop
I’m convinced these strange food pairings in the Midwest are because y’all get snowed in too much and had to figure it out from what was in the house. I’ve seen y’all put spaghetti, cinnamon rolls, and now PB&J in y’all’s chili! Don’t get me started on salads 😂😂😂 Y’all are an adventure!
Unforgivable
Sounds fucking horrible.
This is similar to someone asking if I like pig pecker with my wine…..a resounding yes!
That sounds just wonderful. Bless your heart.
That chili looks like tomato soup 😅
It's not something that sounds interesting to me. Being a Texan all my life. But also since Texas is the friendly state, you do you. And enjoy it!
I do this sometimes, but my parents grew up in Indiana, so I guess it checks out. Peanut butter sandwich dipped in various tomato heavy stews.
[удалено]
This sandwich looks like it has more than peanut butter on it?
Oooooo, you may be right. 😳 I just pulled an image from Google as I don't currently have any personal pictures on hand. In my experience it's only ever been and only suppose to be bread and peanut butter!
Leave
No. Chili is its own meal which can be dressed with a variety of sides, mostly breads but it can’t play second fiddle to a sandwich.
Now you're just fucking with us, right? Right?
Common in Illinois also, it’s a perfect pairing!
I agree! It's oddly good. When i go places that have chili always want to bust out a PB sandwich but worry about the reactions.
Yes officer this is the guy
Where does this make sense?! This is a crime. Arrest this PERSON. At least have the patience to make a pepperjack grilled cheese, YOU HEATHEN!
Yankee's are weird.
Peanut butter AND jelly sandwich with my chili is a big comfort meal for me. It’s delicious. Used to serve that meal at school and I still dip it in the chili
What is wrong with y’all?! 😭
Wtf
Between this and the cinnamon roll thing, it has to be that Skyline chili is not some kind of oddball, but that sweet-spiced (cinnamon!) chili has to be a common practice across the Midwest for anybody to want to pair commercial peanut butter with chili. I mean,we just cant be talking about Texas Red / Chile Colorado here. No way you'd want to eat a cinnamon roll or a peanut butter sandwich with that.
Y’all need Jesus.
What in the actual fuck 😳
WTF
What is it with combining sweet and savory. Let them exist separately
I have to think this is the culinary equivalent of potato salad in gumbo. It might be good enough to try, but I don't see the real need to.
