PrintWould you rather give up pizza or peanut butter?
If you had to make the choice, which way would you go...never again eating pizza or living without peanut butter? I would do without pizza. I figure the peanut butter is always convenient & less expensive:)

I could give up peanut butter....I don't think I could live without a weekly pizza fix! lol

it's a toss up for me .. I'm not crazy for either.

I'd sacrifice peanut butter any day vs. giving up pizza. I can make many different meals out of pizza by changing the "works" or the crust. Peanut butter is peanut butter is peanut butter and then for a change of pace, it's peanut butter.

I'd 86 the PB.

Are you kidding? I'd miss it on apples, and Reeses, but bye bye PB!
Cary at 9:30AM on 02/05/08
I don't eat PB. When my kids were little, I was buying a 5 lb bucket of the stuff every other week. That's 10 lbs of PB per month. Now, the smell of it makes me gag!

Do you stay up late every night thinking of questions to use as torture devices?? :)
I'd say peanut butter because I don't order peanut butter sandwiches in restaurants. It would be truly difficult to visit one of my favorite places- CHICAGO- and not be able to eat pizza.
AuntJone at 9:32AM on 02/05/08
I hope this is a choice I would never have to make.
savecara at 9:33AM on 02/05/08
What about cashew or almond butter? I like those better than p.b.!
HeartofGlass at 9:55AM on 02/05/08
This is easy for me. I don't even really eat peanut butter at all as it is. So long peanut butter, hello pizza.
feep at 9:56AM on 02/05/08
Terrible question! Hee hee hee.
I think it would be the PB since I probably eat it once or twice a year, as opposed to pizza, which I have about once a month (and actually crave).

Peanut butter! I have a sensitivity to wheat and have searched high and low for a good slice of pizza that wouldn't destroy my stomach. Wouldn't have done the same for peanut butter.

Goodbye Pizza. Must have peanut butter.
Elizabelle at 11:03AM on 02/05/08
Peanut butter is out. I can't live without a good slice (that's what growing up in NY will do to you!).
charm city cupcake at 11:08AM on 02/05/08
easiest. question. ever.
i love peanut butter but a world without pizza isn't one i want to live in.
sloppy at 11:13AM on 02/05/08
If I still lived in NJ, I could never give up pizza. Where I live in PA, can't get a decent slice, so I never get it anymore. Boy, do I miss good pizza....sigh.
So, although I don't eat it often, I'd keep the peanut butter to spread on my granny smith's and fuji's.
Oh, and I keep peanut butter crackers for emergency hunger attacks.

I don't eat PB at all. I used to adore it, but haven't been able to eat it ever since I started having trouble with it during my last pregnancy more than a decade ago.
Pizza is a once-in-a-while thing for me. If I could never have it again, I wouldn't miss it much. But, when I do eat it, I just love me a really good slice of super thin, crisp-crust plain cheese (with awesome sauce) or margherita.
So, definitely PB would go.
LoCo at 11:30AM on 02/05/08
I'd give up pizza. But I hope I never have to really make this choice.
Dughis at 11:32AM on 02/05/08
Either one! I guess I don't eat PB really, so that's easy. Pizza - I like, but I could definitely give it up too!
alyssazor at 11:45AM on 02/05/08
A no-brainer in this house. Adios, peanut butter.
hatlady at 11:46AM on 02/05/08
I have to have my PB! I crave a piece of homemade wheat bread with crunchy PB and a tiny bit of honey almost nightly lately. It's even knocked my one true love, cereal and soy milk, out of the game for a while now. Pizza I don't crave. I will eat a piece of it when the kids beg, etc., but I cannot remember the last time I specifically sought out a pie. I also am in near constant possession of those PB cracker snacks. They have just enough carbs when my sugar drops off too quickly.

No contest, I could and will live my life without peanut butter. Timely question since I just found out that my son most likely has the dreaded peanut allergy.
izzy's mama at 12:18PM on 02/05/08
Ciao, pizza. I cannot go with out my four or five weekly fixes of the brown stuff.
Dee at 12:48PM on 02/05/08
I would give up pizza. I love pb on toast or pbj sandwiches, pb cookies, apples, celery, crackers, it makes good sauces, and if you are creative a tortilla with pb and j with fresh fruit is like a pizza or would I have to give that up too? :) :(
mommyme at 1:20PM on 02/05/08
That's an easy one for me since I don't really fancy peanut butter:-). Frankly, I could give up both, but even though I could live without pizza, I do enjoy a slice from time to time, so if I'm allowed to keep it, I'll do that:-).
brooke29 at 1:37PM on 02/05/08
My husband is a pizza-holic, so I'd have to kick out PB. Of course, I'd kick out PB anyway because I don't eat it much (though I recently mixed it with melted choc. chips to make a yummy dessert sauce for ice cream. Heavenly!). Plus, pizza comes in so many varieties. Oh boy, I'm going to want pizza now...
misseditor at 2:46PM on 02/05/08
Funny--when I lived in Italy as an 8 year-old, I would have done/given up *anything* for PB. It's true, I didn't live int he Italian pizza belt, but some version of it was availabe (and pretty good). I'd give up p-butter in an instant if I could get the pizza I had in Naples and Capri, though...
Lilla at 3:16PM on 02/05/08
I would gladly give up peanut butter! I like it from time to time but definitely don't enjoy it as much as pizza! I hate to admit it but whoever came up with the idea to combine bread, tomato sauce and cheese is a genius!

I'm still keepin' my peanut butter....just think of all creative near pizza Italian-type recipes/dishes you could make with similar ingredients!! Yes, I'm looking for ways to get around my own question--ha!
JEP at 4:21PM on 02/05/08
Only have pizza 6 times a year and wouldn't trade that for Jif or Skippy
bessfour at 4:25PM on 02/05/08
By the way, I know someone who died eating peanut butter: Sondra Roberts, the handbag designer. She choked on it, poor thing.
bessfour at 4:26PM on 02/05/08
i've given up peanut butter and never miss it, but i eat a slice at least once a week. {and anyway i would cheat and use sunflower seed butter instead!}
cybercita at 7:34PM on 02/05/08
I'd give up peanut butter for sure!! I love the stuff (on apples, bananas, sandwiches, pretzels, etc), but it definitely can't compete with a great pizza margherita!
ChristineB at 7:41PM on 02/05/08
I don't eat either very often, but I find myself craving PB more often than pizza. Though pizza is way more versatile and, often, healthy.
JEP, you're a fiend!
Christina at 9:56PM on 02/05/08
no contest. good-bye peanut butter.
beth1 at 11:08PM on 02/05/08
Oh JEP - why do you torture us??? OK, if I have to give up one, it would be PB (I can still have almond butter or Nutella -- bwa ha ha ha ha ha!).
I'm with sloppy -- I don't want to live in a world without pizza.
CookiePie at 11:50PM on 02/05/08
Peanut butter--hands down
