PEANUT BUTTER SRIRACHA TOAST
Bored with avocado toast? Get super-weird with this recipe from Bon Appetit that combines peanut butter, sea salt, sriracha, scallions and cilantro. We're subscribers to the notion that sriracha makes everything better, so much so that we're willing to take a chance that it may do the same for peanut butter.

Again, this just seems wrong in all possible ways. But the Food52 writer Sarah Jampel writes that "one bite and we understood: The sweet peanut butter tames the sharp raw onion, which is crisp and pungent enough to cut the richness of the spread. It's our new favorite way to eat raw onion (and scare off possible suitors)."
If only John Harvey Kellogg had known what he started.
Today is National Peanut Butter Day, and to celebrate — in addition to probably buying and consuming far too many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, or Hearts, or Eggs or whatever shape they're currently selling — we've looked for some of the weirdest recipes we can find involving PB.
And if all else fails? No one ever complained about peanut butter straight off the spoon.
