I just assumed that was a given. Crunchy, of course. Extra crunchy. I think the one we buy is called “Super Chunk.” :D



I’ve never had peanut butter and mayonnaise, but my grandma used to make us grilled cheese with mayo. (Actually, I’m pretty sure she used Miracle Whip.) I still like it that way; it’s delicious! :thumbsup:

Back in the late 40's , in the schools down home , they served peanut butter , topped with Miracle Whip , sandwiches at least once a week . However it was served at home on a more regular basis . Also : my vote is for Chunky

Well that settles that.
Crunchy /Superchunky is IT.:thumbsup::thumbsup::D
Now, about those pesky "insert name of other nut butter" rebels.
For an out there snack ..fetta cheese and strawberry jam/jelly/conserve/spreadable fruit.....I know sounds horrible but tastes good.

Just might try that....
 
I used to know a Scottish guy who claimed to have Arachibutyrophobia - not a fear of peanut per se, but more specifically a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth! One of the weirdest things I ever heard :rolleyes:

r8shell r8shell very kindly sent me some PB-filled pretzel pieces a while back - I still savour the memory! :) :D :thumbsup:
 
Setting aside the food chat for a moment.
I need advice please.

Never had any probs on the Bay or P.Pal until now and actually don't know what to do, need your input.

Bought a camera from Britain to here Finland. Delivery charge pretty steep, 21 Euro or so about 20 GBP. But courier service etc, tracking etc. Goods intercepted in Wolverhampton as possibly 'dangerous' Then gets moving again. They did not deliver it to my house,nor did they try contacting me-text,e-mail. They simply sent it to the P.O. who sent me a letter telling me I can pick it up. Collect it, SHOCKED to see it's unwrapped Canon box with a delivery label glued on, no wrapping, all open. By a miracle it appeared undamaged and not stolen.

Complain to seller. He claims he wrapped it up and only charged me 4 Euro delivery....invoice shows otherwise. He claims it's the courier not him etc but I still paid him the delivery sum. I ask him to refund half, he takes a while, says OK I'll refund half the shipping cost. Delay, then he claims he can't send me a refund via P.pal as he doesn't know my PP add (he has the Invoice it's on it) Then he sys he can't send money as it only goes in GBP this is crap too as you can send any currency in the world and it's converted or send the customer's currency as we all know. Then he asks via Ebay email for my bank acct No. so he can transfer he money! No way, illegal and insecure. This all annoys me. Never EVER had problems before.

How do I make a claim? Bay just seems fixated on non delivery etc, I got the thing but I'm dissatisfied with the buyer, how to proceed?

Thanks for reading,
Will

Yes, and tripe, tendon, all manner of organ meat regardless of animal, insects, etc. Many will vehemently state they don't like something without ever even tryng it.

If the Europeans and our British cousins are not of fond of peanut butter, I suppose they have their revenge with marmite. I've known many of my fellow yanks that could not fathom why 'they' love Marminte so much. I had my first Marmite sandwich out west in England camping in the Cotsworlds. Not bad, although washing it down with a pint of John Courage ale may have made it more palatable. :D

Marmite is a favorite of mine. There's always a jar in in the cupboard. Nothing better in the morning than marmite on toast with a cup of strong black coffee.
 
I'm the adopt-a-highway lead for my chapter of the Isaak Walton League of America. We have our 6th scheduled pickup of rubbish for the year this morning. Four miles of road shoulder through the Wilderness Battlefield. Car is loaded with signs, bags, safety vests, and pickup sticks. I'll leave home at 700AM to head to the club. Having a very hard time getting motivated to do this today. Supposed to rain. Almost wish it would, but we really need to get this done. Have only today and probably one other chance for the rest of the year. uuuuuggggggghhhhhhhh

Marmite never crossed the channel and if they try to we could revive (and won again) the hundred year war... :DRather eat a Maggi cube!:rolleyes:

Contact Paypal by phone or open a case, PP will deal with him and you'll get your funds back, they also deal with bad faith.

Will,
It seems you were originally ok with the high shipping fee when you agreed to it and paid for it and you did receive your camera in good shape, eventually. No need being upset now and wasting all this energy. LET IT GO, never think of that man again, enjoy your new camera! Now, get out and take some pics!!:):thumbsup::thumbsup:
Good call on the bank acct and another reason to limit your exposure to this guy.

Willie Garvin cured a girlfriend of that. He taught her to eat the bread or toast upside down.
 
I'm sorry guys, but I don't even like mayonnaise on normal things. The thought of it on peanut butter: Yuck! :eek:

Enough of this ! The big question.The question that needs answering once and for all...is...
Crunchy or Smoothy?
Click to expand...
Smooth! But I have gotten used to the natural kind that you have to stir because it doesn't have hydrogenated oils. It isn't quite as smooth as the fake stuff.

I'd say call call ebay and paypal if you want to pursue it. Otherwise just cut your losses and enjoy the camera. I wouldn't give out any bank account numbers, it isn't worth the risk.
