Рецепт Elvis’s Hot Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich
Elvis’s Hot Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich
Elvis may have been the King of Rock but apparently this guy was also the king of food as he had one heck of an appetite. They say he had an ability to pack away insane amounts of bacon, honeydew melons, Spanish omelets and peanut and chocolate-topped ice cream cones. I guess that’s why the big guy’s outfits continued to expand in size over the years.
From what I’ve read, Elvis liked to eat but he didn’t do a whole lot of cooking for himself. With that said, there is one recipe that seems to be a culinary creation of the King. It’s a hot peanut butter and banana sandwich and I gave it a try this past weekend. I wasn’t blown away by it nor disappointed. After all it is basically a peanut butter and banana sandwich which I used to eat religiously as a kid. Since this sandwich was grilled I thought it could use a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon to give it the extra Elvis flair it deserves. Overall I would give this gooey sandwich three XL Elvis outfits out of five.
If the thought of bananas and peanut butter gets you all shook up….in a good way…then give Presley’s sandwich a try.
