Peanut Butter & Banana Flavored Heart Attack
In honor of this, the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s portly death August 16 1977, we here at the Urban Cannibal are publishing the rotund recipe for the King’s famed Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich. Please be advised that if you choose to partake of the artery hardening snack and die as a result; please consider allowing us to eat your yummy remains and please be safe, the King had his treat grilled in bacon fat instead of butter so don’t burn your house down (we don’t like our meat charred).2 slices of white bread
2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
1 small ripe banana mashed
2 tablespoons butter
Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the mashed banana on the other. Press the slices gently together. Melt the butter (or to be truly Elvis-like, melt bacon fat!), over low heat in a small frying pan. Place the sandwich in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Eat it with a glass of buttermilk.
Please note: Elvis tended to eat 12-15 sandwiches a sitting! So belly up!

I find it hard to believe that after the all-American normal childhood her parents provided her, Lisa Marie is soooooo frickin' weird. Look at her father-- it's not like she was the one who found him naked on the toilet. And her mother--a publicity whore--sure, but I see no reason why her mother's need for fame and money should affect her daughter. But there she is: nuttier (and at times greasier than her papa's favorite sandwich.

12-15 sandwiches in a sitting...Elvis was a shining example of the overconsumption of everything in America.
I've never actually fried one in bacon grease before, but a peanut butter and banana sandwich is pretty good. The grease probably just makes it even better!

Ah Elvis. I take a moment and pause...in mid-bite...as a show of respect for the King. Urbancannibal, I have it on good authority that this version of the PB&J is fine!
Good Hunting.
