Excellent article about the culinary stylings of the King: http://www.salon.com/mwt/food/eat_drink/ 2007/08/14/elvis_food/ The perfect fuel for all of those karate-kick dance moves... | ||

you know, i've thought about this sandwich a lot before. hey, i've had a bit of a calorie-counting year. anyway, peanut butter is a bona fide super food! and bananas are....well.....bananas. it must have been his choice of fat that he cooked them in. and, obviously, just how many of these gems he was able to knock off at once. regicide-ly good! | ||

Funny you mention that, Joe - I've been thinking that it actually sounds pretty tasty, molten peanut butter burns notwithstanding. Maybe I should try it. I largely eschew fried foods now, but Lordy, they're tasty. I occassionally indulge in a grilled-cheese sandwich. I'm thinking, too,that it's probably pretty safe to eat - without Elvis' typical cocktail of various opiates, eating the famous peanut butter nanner treat probably won't result in instant death. | ||

So it was just toasted, not deep-fried? That makes it ok then. Dammit, it's practically low calorie!!! | ||

hah. i'm almost sure it would've been shallow fried in butter, if not lard. dang! you know what would work though....aforementioned sandwich, but with french toast. and lashed with maple, naturally. | ||

I always thought that Elvis had them fried in butter. | ||

You know, Michael, that's my though on it, too, that they were fried in butter, grilled as it were, like a grilled cheese. You guys are talking me into trying one of them peanut butter nanner sammiches. They sound strangely, perversely tasty. And geez, given the ingredients, it's practically health food. Maybe too healthy - I might have to add some bacon or other pork product! | ||

I had always thought that they were fried too. That article threw me a bit, as it says toasted. Peanut butter and bananas are a pretty tasty combo. I've never done the lardy version, but cruncy PB (got to be crunchy!), with really ripe nanas on wholewheat bread is yummy!! | ||

On the Food Network television channel, they have a program call Diners, Drive-In's and Dives, and the host has gone to burger joints that have a burger with peanut butter on it! It's an interesting program, especially if you like the look of old time diners and blue plate specials. |
