That’s right, peanut butter and tomato sandwiches. I used to think everyone ate them, but as I got older I realized my family was the only one who made them. Well if you’ve got the moxy to try one, I highly recommend it. The secret is you have to use whole wheat bread, doesn’t taste right on white bread. Next you must, and I can’t stress this enough, use locally grown in season heirloom tomatoes. It must be deep red, still warm, and almost ready to burst. A hothouse tomato will just ruin the experience. The peanut butter can vary to your taste, but my favorite is Wampler’s Peanut Butter which is made in Manheim, PA and sold at Rhubarb’s Market. The Wamp will beat the snot out of whatever sorry excuse you’re using for peanut butter, it’s that good. Butter both slices and try, if you can to get as much tomato in the sandwich as possible. Then serve with a side of Martin’s kettle cooked potato chips and you have what I ate for lunch almost every day of my childhood from late July to September. Local tomatoes are the awesome, and to not enjoy them when they’re in season should be a crime. Happy Eating.
