Peanut Butter and what?

This was on the front page of the New York Times' Dining & Wine section.

Honestly, I almost threw up in my mouth at the mere sight of this sandwich.

Caption reads: Jelly gets kicked to the curb, and pickles take its place, making the PB&B a cult snack option. -- Are you kidding me?  Pickles will NEVER, EVER take the place of strawberry jam.

A few weeks ago, I began calling and e-mailing smart food people - chefs, journalists, cookbook writers, editors - to get their take on the combination... A friend of mine, an editor at a major national food monthly, wrote me back to say, "Even at 7 months pregnant, I've never had that craving."  Another well-known cookbook writer suggested I talk to Guy Fieri, the Sammy Hagar of TV chefs.

Guy Fieri?  That's harsh dude.

Morimoto v. Guy Fieri

You couldn't pay me to use a credit/debit card with Guy Fieri's face on it, even if it were a pre-loaded card with $5,000.  The shame I would feel every time I had to bust that out would not be worth it.
