my co-worker brought in a jar of "peanut" butter made of soy. It was surprisingly good; it looked, smelled, and pretty much tasted like peanut butter. I know there's another one made with peas, anyone try them? any good?

I haven't tried those but I do love almond butter. I like natural types (like at trader joe's or marathana) and I really like barney butter (crunchy)
Haven't tried the soy or the peas, but I'm a big fan of almond butter + raspberry jelly sandwiches.
sadly I don't like almond butter. It just doesn't taste right to me for some reason. Cashew butter's a bit better, but I still prefer peanut butter over both of them.
What's pumpkin or sunflower butter like?
I just can't imagine anything tasting anywhere near as perfect as real peanut butter. Though I just came upstairs from eating the "monster cookie" ice cream by archer farms/target, which is a peanut butter ice cream with stuff in it, and was thinking to myself how amazing foods with peanut butter are :)
If I ever have a kid with a peanut allergy I don't know how I could deal.
i found an almond butter where the almonds were roasted first. OH! that was good. Hazelnut butter is also good
I love almond butter, either raw or toasted. I'm not a big fan of sunflower butter, but some people really like it. Tahini - also raw or toasted - I think is best homemade, though I've never been able to get it to flow without adding a little extra sesame oil.
I love peanut butter - it is a comfort food :oQuote:

I am allergic to peanuts; hated the smell as a kid, started eating peanut butter in my early thirties, and developed the allergy in my mid thirties. I can be around it, touch it, with no ill effects, but can't eat it.
I didn't like any of the other "butters" until I found Simple soy nut butter. I saw a story about it on a local news show (it's made here in MA). It tastes pretty close to the real thing, although I sort of forget what peanut butter tastes like. I am finally able to bring a smooshed soy nut butter and jelly sandwich on long rides.
I think Justin's Almond Butter is the best!!! They make a maple almond butter that I have a really hard time keeping my spoon out of....

I love peanut butter too. And coconut butter which I can't have in the house as I can eat 1/2 a jar (if not more) in one sitting.
I like packets of justin's and barney butter - I keep them in my saddle pack and also at work to top their boring water+oatmeal they sell in the cafeteria.
OMG. Coconut butter! I can see where that would be very, very dangerous. Glad I've never seen any.
oh it is out of this world! my whole foods sells it. if only it didn't taste so good right off the spoon!

Which non peanut butter's the healthiest???
I have some in my fridge and am now wondering...
Coconut butter??! I want to try some! Although, that'd be the start of a very terrible addiction...
walnut butter would be super healthy (walnuts have omega).
Then there is nutzo which has lots of omega - I didn't care for the taste though.
fyi I have no idea why that coconut butter link is so expensive. I get it for around 9-10 a jar at whole foods.

Good thing I can't find that, or I'd be eating it out of the jar. (Maybe with some chocolate thrown in.)
