路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerI can personally attest to this. I grew up eating peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, and I still do on occasion. Fantastic combination.
Okay, a return to this thread...tried this yesterday...
I certainly get the appeal, and by no means was it bad. However, after having had this, I prefer to just eat the bacon on it's own.
Now that I have tried yours, would you like to try the peanut butter sandwich that I grew up eating, and still eat today?
Peanut butter and onion. Preferably using a sweet onion, but Spanish will do also. I would stay away from yellow cooking onions, at least on your first go. I've eaten these for as long as I can remember...no idea how I started eating them either, but I have always loved onions...
I know it sounds odd, but honestly anyone who has ever been brave enough to try it, has said they either liked it, or at least didn't say it was disgusting or anything.
Challenge is on...馃槈

路路This Space for Renthmmm, I'll stuck to peanut butter and hot pepper jelly. Raw onions are not one of my favorite foods.

路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerChallenge accepted, sir! I will post pics in the next few days. (I now have a lunch menu for Wednesday!)

Great! Sweet onions like a Vidalia, Mayan Sweet, etc. will make this a more palatable experience if you are not a real onion fan. Ratio of onions is important too, so not too much to be the only thing you taste, but enough that there's a good balance. If the onions are thick sectioned and juicy, it helps it to not be too dry. That was something I found with the PB&B, that it was a pretty dry sandwich to eat.
I never came across anyone else who ate these in my entire life, but last year a video popped up in my YouTube feed where people tried "weird" sandwiches, and guess what was included...
Felt a little strange knowing that I wasn't alone! I have to say, the other two they tried...well I didn't rush to the kitchen to try those and they make PB&O look pretty tame to me at least!

路Two words: pork roll. Anybody who lives in Pennsylvania or New Jersey knows that bacon is pork roll鈥檚 poor cousin.
I grew up in NJ with Taylor Pork Roll all the time! I used to fry it up until the sugars in it caramelized and I'd make a sandwich with it. Now as an overweight diabetic it's off the menu. Costs a lot to ship here too!

SUBJECT: Peanut Butter and Onion Sandwich
I tried this for lunch today. Here's the photographic evidence:
(Please note the presence of bacon, for the sake of thread sanctity.)
The sandwich was surprising! I liked it until I got to a stronger part of the onion - I would agree that the onion needs to be sweet for the sandwich flavors to work. Given that this is a childhood favorite, I understand completely how this would have an appeal. Trying it for the first time with adult taste buds, it's a bit different ... the same for you trying the PB with bacon.
I was reminded that what I like about the bacon version is the sweet/salty contrast. But your point about the onion adding moisture is true - not dry at all.
Thanks for the fun experiment!
(Now my wife is suggesting we all try peanut butter and mayo ...)

Thanks giving it a try! Sometimes different taste combinations can be surprisingly good. There's a burger joint I've been to that put peanut butter on their burgers - it works way better than you might think it does.
So, is this PB&M something your wife eats? I don't mind trying people's strange sandwiches, but not just randomly selected ingredients...then again it doesn't sound any worse that mayo and banana from that video above.

My wife reminded me that our late brother in law used to love the PB&M combination. (I tasted it ... not my preference.) But like our own, it was his childhood version. No wonder he loved it.
I think it might be time for PB and banana (Elvis liked 'em batter fried, I understand).

路Ok, literally bought bacon the other day because of this thread (not that I need a thread as a reason to buy bacon). Fully intended on making the PB&Bacon sandwiches and then the wife and I just ate all the bacon once it was cooked... never got to the sandwich part. Now more bacon is needed (oh darn) and I guess I have two sandwiches to try: PB&Bacon and PB&Onion. @Archer I am definitely not much of an onion fan, so this will be a real test. Always up for trying things at least once though. My high school Economics teacher liked PB&Mayo... heard of that one before but never tried it and I think my mom used to eat PB&Pickles... never tried that one either but a burger place around here has that as one of the options. Ok, so maybe more like four sandwiches to try...

路Ok I鈥檓 a man of my word, the PB & onion sandwich challenge has been completed. Not bad, I鈥檓 a yes on onions kind of guy, at in&out.
Npw as a side note to the PB, I had total disdain to it for pretty much my whole adult life. I eat pretty much anything, this sandwich proofs that. A few years back, I started eating PB again now in a conversation with mom she told me what happened ions ago. One day when I was 3 or so, I ate a whole tub of it don鈥檛 recall the event.
Soon I鈥檒l post my wacko childhood sandwich, by the way it wasn鈥檛 homemade.

路Cheese and onion with mustard on rye bread. Peanut butter and crisp bacon on whole grain/wheat toast. That's good eating.
