OK, I see that I'll have to become more adventurous with my peanut butter!
As for neutral foods going either way, some Vietnamese friends once made me ice cream out of avocados and it was very good. Here it's pretty exclusively used in guacamole.

Had a fantastic avocado mousse dessert in Sri Lanka....and peanut butter goes with anything. Date and peanut butter stuffed spiced baked apples, anyone? Not universally received with success last time i served it - I loved it.

When I was a kid, I used to eat peanut butter and cream cheese sandwiches. Always got looks from the other kids. Thank god they never saw me eat breakfast, it turns out a lot of people think my go to breakfast back then (oatmeal with american cheese melted in it) was somehow odd. Never made sense to me, I mean, unflavored oatmeal is a neutral food, neither savory nor sweet, so why do most people think it HAS to have sweet things added? Basically I was eating a cheese sandwitch, just runnier. I put PB on my morning oats which has raisins and apples in it and nothing else. The oats are whole, hulled oat groats which cook up with their own creamy "milk". But my husband puts ground, roasted sesame seeds and tamari on his oats, even though they have raisins and apples too. IMO oats are tasty about any way they are served, even savory. |

Well as the french say "chacun à son goût". Though I've always preferred the British version
"Different people have different 'pinions.
Some like apples and some like 'inions."

I've seen field peas grown with either barley or oats, usually cut before fully ripe to dry for fodder during winter. That was back in 1960 and 1970's, don't see it anymore.

I grew my own poles - bamboo with the side branches left on, but trimmed a bit. I varied the height - a bit over two metres for peas, full-length (four metres) for beans.
( I bend the poles down to pick the beans beyond my reach.)
The poles last for a very long time - twelve years so far.
