blog!
Yay!
So this issue of my blog is about this great record by Fu Manchu called GODZILLA ('s eatin' dust)! Yeah! It rules! The first track is great! Then there's some less good stuff in the middle, but then you get this old version of Mongoose which you may have heard on California Crossing or on this record if you actually liked Fu Manchu before Tony Hawk's 2 came out (you are in the minority). The whole point of this record is the last track however, which is a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "seminal classic" (never heard it) Godzilla. Dudes! The Fu Manchu version is so much better (I'll bet)! It's just like one riff and it's played through a peanut butter sandwich! Fuck yeah! If you can get their live album, there is a 400 minute version of the song on there as well. It's great!
Also, I haven't seen a blog which addresses the myriad of peanut butters available out there, so I'm going to review different peanut butters as well! Yeah!
This time, I'm reviewing my current staple Skippy Smooth.
(here is a picture of skippy smooth)I like this peanut butter. I remember my mum had a membership to Costco, which is just a big warehouse with a tesco's inside. They had 20 kg of skippy crunchy for two pounds, so my mum would buy up that stuff by the tonne. You can't sniff at a saving like that. So I'd have it in my sandwiches for everyday for 6 months and I did. Not. Like. It.
TOO SWEET
SWEET LIKE CHERRYADE
But that was when I was 12. Now I am a man! And I like the smooth variety, I do I do. It is sweet, but not too sweet (see above). The butter itself does not stick to the roof of your mouth (forthwith to be referred to as it's "cloy factor"), but, unlike many other peanut butters, slides from the bread onto your tongue. It has some kind of x-factor which prevents it from being transferred to your mouth roof though, which is just great.
I find that skippy smooth is complimented best by white bread, FRESH, NOT DEFROSTED. You ever find that when you defrost bread it smells like jam? I fucking hate jam. Errrghh. Don't make the slices too thick! The skippy smooth does not penetrate through a thick slice - you want medium slice at best otherwise you are cheating yourself out of the flavour. Sorry.
Taste: 4/5
Texture: 3/5
Cost: hella expensive, 2/5
Overall this is a great (but not fantastic peanut butter), which I have been forced into eating on a regular basis because the Sainsburys in Beeston does not stock anything apart from that and Sun-Pat. I'm not buying Sun-Pat!
YEAH
