    This doesn’t sound terrible? Maybe not good, but not awful? Especially with a very mild onion and slightly sweet variety.

        I have actually done this, 6/10, not horrible but not something I would actively make again unless situations were dire. It is slightly above average because it is better than what your brain is telling you while you’re making it.

          Dylan Hollis, Tiktok food screamer atter guy, among the many depression era baked goods he’s tried was a “peanut butter onion.” Recipe: Hollow out an onion. Mix some bread crumbs into some peanut butter. Pack the peanut butter mixture into the onion. Bake. Eat.

          One of many depression era recipes where I’d rather eat the ingredients individually than try to make something out of them.

    Hey, don’t knock it!

    We have a pretty decent snack around here, buttered toast topped with a bit of sliced onion and a pinch of salt, and a chonkily diced tomato on the side for zest!

    Edit: well, in all fairness, the traditional snack uses preserved cooking fat obtained from roasting sausages and such (we roast the sausages at once when preparing stockpiles and store the fat in jars for later use in different dishes), but I prefer it with a nice and thick milk butter.

    My uncle’s favorite sandwich is onion and strawberry jelly.

      I bet it would taste good if you cooked the onions down until they are caramelized. I think the sweetened would complement the peanut butter similar to jelly.

        goddamnit i have to do this now.

        e: ok so instead of caramelized onions i have a smattering of diced onion and jalapeño, fried in olive oil with a small amount of mostly burned parmesian. it’s sweet and spicy and bitter, and i’m going to make it into an ill conceived grilled cheese + peanut butter.

        god give me strength.

    That looks awful!

    You just slice the onions and you get flat little circles prefect for sandwiches. You don’t need to chop them up like that. It’s not a hot dog.

    I’ve never thought to add onion to pb toast, but Id be willing to try, (Dont knock it till you tired it?) the most questionable thing in this is, is that the floor?

    This is only tangentially related, but in Wisconsin they have a local delicacy called a “Cannibal Sandwich” that consists of raw ground beef and onions, and this just looks like the vegetarian version of the Cannibal Sandwich to me.

        Oh I’ve never heard of that! My dad grew up in West Germany, and he would always have Braunschweiger and brown mustard on rye, which I sometimes liked sometimes didn’t, but I’ll have to get my meat eating roommate to try this Mettbrötchen and report back. Seems like a classic working class lunch

    I’d caramelize the onions. I bet that would be pretty good on a toasted peanut butter sandwich.

      Hi from the Netherlands. We do fries with weird and copious amounts of sauces. Also we do weird snacks.

      From our colonialist past we have appropriated peanut based satay sauce. We put that on fries, together with mayonnaise and chopped onions, we call that ‘war sauce’.

      Also we have a snack that is called the ‘bears paw’, which is a meat ball, cut into slices and skewered intermittently with sliced onion. This is deep fried and often served with peanut sauce.

      So both raw onion and caramelized onion can work with a peanut based sauce.

          I meant more underrated as a sweet treat or toast spread, it’s very common as a meal ingredient.

    This was a minor plot point in the Little Monsters movie from the 80s. I never did try that sandwich… maybe I’ll give it a shot some day since I love both peanuts and onions.

    I actually prefer penut butter in savoury foods, so not at all offended by this sandwich (properly seasoned).

    Meh. I’d try it, if the peanut butter is not sweetened. Just love onion in a sandwich so much, and don’t like the peanut butter and jelly at all.

    My favourite topping for fries is Patat Oorlog where you have mayonnaise on one side and peanut sauce on the other, with diced raw onions sprinkled on top. Based on that, this sounds delicious, especially if you put a squirt of sriracha on there too and ate it with potato bread.

    Eh, I would try it. I don’t think it would taste -great- but could be a unique flavor I hadn’t considered before.
