PB&J makes sense to me, because the slickness of the jelly offsets the sticky of the PB. But with Fluff you just have a mouth-sticking incident waiting to happen.

Theodosia is me. I think I have only had a fluff sandwich once or twice. I never really liked them.
Cindy, is the no peanut butter rule in your kids school because of all of the kids with peanut allergies?

I fail to understand how unpopular anchovies and sardines are. They're delicious!
They are revolting!

You are the reason I can never get anchovies on shared pizzas!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

People will eat carbonized slice of pig that's doused in salt and uncomfortably chewy for a meat, but a tiny salted fish? Oh, no way!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I generally use anchovy paste for anything requiring anchovies, but I do wonder about the general "dislike." I put it in quotes, because I bet most people haven't eaten it! Like brussels sprouts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Proper bacon isn't unduly chewy!
And, lord, is there such a thing as a good anchovy? Doesn't that kinda imply there's such a thing as a bad anchovy? The mind boggles at the nastiness.

Little balls of nasty salt, they are. And I have tasted them, which is how I know.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We used to live right around the corner from the PB place on Houston, and when it opened, we were all superior and cynical, "Poor saps, like THAT will work." When we went back to the old neighborhood last summer after five years, there it was, still going. Made me happy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
When I was a kid - eight or so - I remember going into a restaurant with my parents and something I got came with anchovies (or one anchovy) and my mother warned me to be careful because it was very salty. I carefully tasted it and - yum! loved it! So much for "acquired tastes".

It's FISH. With an exaggerated fishiness. That's really what is behind my finding them blechy.
