I just came in my pants!
Peanut Butter Really?? I guess I'd try it. You were missing one or two ulimate burger ingredients - but I realize your were limited to what was on hand. I applaud your effort. A fried egg and a sweet pepper would have gone along famously! Well with the peanut butter.... we'll have to try that later.

Fatty would throw a couple fried chicken tenders on there!
I say get a Snickers bar in that bitch!

Yes, I'm always limited to what's in the fridge. That's what makes it fun! We made burgers tonight, and no bacon in the house, but the pepperoni was tasty...
We always use the lowest-percentage fat content for our burger meat, so we don't get any shrinkage - can't recommend it enough!
For the above Swerburger, what I was missing was mushrooms and fried or grilled onions. Maybe a red or green pepper. And a fried egg? Geez, whaddaya think I am, a sicko?
No worries Fats, I'll still be up for a burger for lunch on Tuesday!

Pepperoni on a burger? I say Yes. I love a good pizzaburger with 'roni, ham, mushrooms, pizza sauce and lots of mozzarella.
Good stuff.

Peanut butter does sound a bit suspect. I'm not saying that it would necessarily taste terrible, but you're just getting too far away from the original concept of a burger to still call it a burger when you start throwing in legumes.
I do love the picture, though. It's as though the "burger" came together in a whirling dervish... with some collateral damage in the surrounding area (chip gut, Swerb?).
And if you had any potatoes in the house, you really should have cooked up some fries to throw into the thing, like the Fat Darrell:

Chip gut!!! Hahahahahah! Sweet!
Actually, I think the residuals were from my crumbling bun. It was a little on the stale side, but it soaked up enough juice for me not to care...

Emm, Hem, now that's a tasty Burger! I agree with Bert though, peanut butter does sound a bit dubious.

Thank goodness for the random photo tool. It gives us a chance to re-hash old, but important topics..... Is peanut butter tasty on a burger? I am still a bit skeptical, but thinking of a new example makes me lean more towards the Swerb.
Let me posit this question.... Would you like peanut butter on your chicken? I sense a hearty - HELL NO! But, what if we are talking a Thai chicken satay with peanut sauce? Now that is tasty! Peanut sauce is a bit different than the butter, but I would wager peanut sauce is tasty on beef. So now I am more open to peanut butter on a burger.
Fatty will try it... but only in the states where burger quality control can be carefully monitored. Swerb, we will have to include a Stacyburger in our burgertown rounds. We will put the peanut butter on the side.

I won't shit on the idea in concept. I do love chicken satay and that's close enough to peanut butter on chicken. So the idea isn't silly. Peanut butter isn't as universally appetizing as, say, bacon, but it is applicable to a wide variety of dishes, IMO.

Shit.... I think I just had a Reese's peanut butter and chocolate breakthrough. We all know the Reese's commercials.... but now we carry it further. Chocolate is good, peanut butter is good. Together they are sweet. Bacon is good..... so now I would think that chocolate covered bacon would be tasty. Not because I am simply moving the Reese's logic towards bacon, but just being inspired by that senario. Try thinking outside the bacon. A sweet and salty mixture can be tasty. I am even leaning towards peanut butter and bacon. It would be a salty-salty combo thing.
F-it. I have some bacon in the fridge right now. This week, I am going to try it with chocolate. Unfortunately, peanut butter is not big in Yurope, so that will have to wait. It is too bad. I'd rather try PB and bacon rather than Chocolate and bacon.
Stay tuned for my review.

I can confirm that dates (sweet)wraped in bacon (Mmmm bacon) are delicous and even beter if you stuff the date with an almond. Coincidentally it happens that I bought some just yesterday. (for Fatty, I saw PB in LIDL yesterday, they had it as part of their "American product week")

Tonight I tried the bacon and chocolate combo. Nothing fancy, just some chopped bacon with some milk chocolate chunks. I tried two different ratios of bacon to chocolate. The results did not vary much. It was unremarkable. Not at all bad. The two flavors held their own, but neither complemented the other flavor like PB does with chocolate. I was able to enjoy both the chocolate and the bacon flavors separetely, at the same time. The bacon forced me to chew more, and prolonged the experience... I'd make that a plus though.
So, bottom line. Sure, I'd eat it again. It was no big thing. I was eating bacon AND chocolate at the same time. Not a bad deal.
I have higher expectations for PB and bacon...... Hmmm that sounds good on a sandwich.

I can vouch for the peanut butter and bacon sandwich... got it at a restaurant once, and it was called The Elvis. It had sliced bananas on it... AWESOME.

I'm constantly doing this. I have a great idea, and either building a prototype isn't practical or we hear about someone else doing it days (sometimes hours) later. My wife likes to tell me I'm 'minutes ahead of my time'. Witness the charging station that's popped up all over (the link is an example, but not a very good one). Basically a case/box/stand with a single internal power supply to plug all your cell-phones, gameboys, battery-chargers, PDAs, etc. into that manages cords, is portable, etc. I actually worked up a prototype over 4 years ago. But lacking any business experience and sufficient motivation, I never looked into producing it. /shrug. Some day....

Robo - I feel your pain. I am always coming up with great ideas for shit. But there is already some a-hole with the same idea, doing something about it. The internet sucks. You get to look up all the great ideas that someone else is doing already. Kinda like Bunky.... great idea that someone else is already doing..... Boooo YAaaaaaa, can I get a high five???
Next time I am in town we can put our noggins together for a little brainstorm. Maybe we catch a drizzle.
BTW - I told you bacon and chocolate ain't bad! Now who wants to make cash on the PB idea??

Fats, when are you the States? I will be at a concert near Santa Cruz Oct. 11th. I can see if there is a way to ship some chocolate bacon back to Michigan. I haven't been to the boardwalk since I was kid.
