Saturday Poll - Fluffernutters

[PollyannaMom]

If you love Slo's weekday polls, or love wacky holidays, or both, this one is for you! I heard on the news this morning that it is National Fluffernutter Day:

So, what are your feelings on Fluffernutters? And are they just a New England thing? (Or if not, how did you learn about them?)

 

[Carol_]

My cupboard isn’t full without a thing of Fluff in it, and I haven’t had any in a while. I guess I can put off getting back on my successful Keto diet for one more day to honor my favorite sandwich and pass on a family tradition.
Thanks. I was struggling to figure out what I was going to do for breakfast.

I’ve known about them my whole life. I’m in New York (NYC suburbs), not New England, so maybe it’s the whole northeast? Had no idea it was regional until reading it here. My best friend in grade school ate a fluffernutter every day, sitting across from me in the school cafeteria. As for myself, I don’t care for them, as I’ve never been a fan of anything marshmallow. However, I do buy a jar of Fluff once a year to make fudge for Christmas from an old family recipe.

Nope - I don't like, or ever buy peanut butter so this is a total non-starter. I have heard of them though, but I had no idea they were considered a New England thing.

 

[NAB]

Never buy fluff. I’m not a big marshmallow person though.

I’m not a fan of marshmallow so I’ve never had one. My dh used to eat them all the time. I can’t remember if my kids ate them or not. Haven’t bought fluff in years so I guess dh hasn’t craved them lately. Not the New England area but we’re from NY.

I love marshmallow, and I am from New England (born and raised until 22 years ago), so I love fluffernutters. I also like to add jelly to them sometimes. Always have a jar of fluff, and my favorite peanut butter (Peter Pan) in the cupboard!

Posting to add that I still remember this commercial jingle from my childhood.

I've heard the name before but did not know what they were. Google showed me what they are now. I've had Fluff before, though maybe 50 year ago. I do like and have peanut butter now and then. Never had the combination. I'd give it a try though. But that Fluff recollection seems so sweet.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

This is something new to me!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Not for me - whole family from New England - I currently live in Midwest - my vote is New England thing as peeps out here don’t know about it or other New England foods ! With that being said New England doesn’t know about Midwest foods either !!
Thank You for the Poll !!! I so enjoy them !!

 

[mjkacmom]

I haven’t had one in decades, but I liked them. I’ve lived in NJ my entire life, and they’ve always been a thing, I didn’t know they were a new england thing, we had the commercials.

Not something I would ever eat. Like peanut butter but don't like that marshmallow fluff and never buy it. I can recall my mom buying it when making homemade fudge in the past. Have no idea how else you would ever use it.

 

[fly girl]

Heard of them, but never had one. Wouldn’t rule out trying though.

 

[Southernmiss]

Had a weird craving for creamy filling and bought a jar of fluff not too long ago. I've smeared it on Graham crackers and between 2 chocolate chip cookies.

 

[SM1992]

New Englander here. I used to eat these as a kid, but haven't had one in years. A little too sweet for me now. I do eat PB&J every week though, and use Fluff in hot cocoa sometimes.

 

[design_mom]

I have heard of them before but I have never had one. I'm in the Midwest and I don't think I've ever been offered one (and I think I've only bought marshmallow fluff once, for a recipe.) I don't love peanut butter though, so I probably wouldn't care for them.

But HOLY COW! There's a marshmallow plant?!?!?! I've made homemade marshmallows before and didn't use a plant! I googled it because that seemed like something I would have heard about if it was true... but sure enough, it's true!

 

[disneychrista]

I've never had one but would try one just for the sake of trying something new. I have heard of them before but ONLY because of them being previously mentioned here on the DIS.

I've heard of it but never had it.

Now that sounds kind of good!
