Um... in what world do hard-boiled eggs and peanut butter work together?
I've been pretty drained by the heat this week, so this is a short post and a short recipe...
You know, this wouldn't have been so bad if it had just been the eggs and pickles. Kind of like egg salad on a cracker, right? But why, for the love of [insert deity here], did they think it would be wise to mix peanut butter into this spread? Were they looking for a touch of saltiness? There are other ingredients that can lend that flavour... for example, salt.

I think my husband said it best when he said, "At least it's not as bad as the banana one." God help us all if I ever come across anything worse.
Pickle-Peanut Butter-Egg Spread
Mash 3 hard-cooked eggs.
Combine with 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet pickles and 1 tablespoon peanut butter.
Season with prepared mustard and pickle juice.
(I chose to garnish my batch with olives...because I like olives.)
This recipe is from the appetizer section of the Mary Margaret McBride Encyclopedia of Cooking, published by Homemakers Research Institute in 1959.

I eat boiled eggs and peanut butter together all the time. I have even made a sandwich with soft boiled eggs (runny yolks) with peanut butter and hot sauce. DELICIOUS!!!I will need to try the pickle though. I could see why it would be weird.
