I had a sandwich with peanut butter, honey and slices of banana. Bliss.
My French friends, croissants, brioche and coq au vin are all fine and dandy, but America has mighty fine cuisine too. Le Cordon Bleu, take note.
To be fair in my reporting, I think many Americans reading this have never eaten such a sandwich and cringe at the thought. I think this particular delicacy is Southern in origin. I’m not a Southerner, but I was raised by one. This particular sandwich tastes even better grilled. Sadly, my frying pan is in storage at the nightclub singer’s place.
Now, if the French could just reduce the outrageous price of peanut butter, that’d be great. I mean, it’s just crushed peanuts and oil. It’s not some exotic delicacy. Get real. Today I saw snails in the frozen food section of Monoprix! And they were much cheaper than peanut butter. That’s f’ed up.

I’m one of the cringers that you refer to!
Wasn’t the peanut butter, honey and slices of banana sandwich one Elvis’ favorite meals?
I wouldn’t know for sure, but maybe someone who’s been to Graceland would know… LOL

You know, i’ve really craved PB&J recently! Haven’t had the banana/honey version yet…but now that I think about it, I do remember seeing it across the lunch table every so often back in the day. Sorry to hear about the price gouging though..

But Monoprix is never very cheap!
Did you tru the “exotics” shops in the 19th ou 20th arrondissements? Perhaps in the chineses shops? -
Yes, Elvis loved this sandwich! I’m not sure if he put honey on it too though? There are so many variations of this delicacy.
Someone else mentioned trying Chinese shops. I will check that out… -
well, we were northerners, but my parents were a bit hippie-ish, so i had these growing up too! sometimes with wheatgerm as well

I love PB and banana and PB and honey, but I rarely mix honey and banana - a little too sweet for me.
