I hate allergies
so for a long time peanut butter has been one of my "safe foods" that's a frequent meal option, but my flatmate is allergic (to both peanuts and nuts)... I don't ever ask her to do pb stuff, but I feel guilty even using it in the same apartment.
Recently I got sunflower butter to see if that works as a substitute, and I tried it in a sandwich today. It's ... edible but not the same at all, either flavor or texture. The only non-peanut non-nut thing I've /ever/ found that works texturally is cookie butter, which tastes amazing but doesn't have a good protein base. (I just checked ... the pb I like has 7g protein per 2tbsp, cookie butter is 2g.)
I don't know what to do. I want to be respectful and avoid allergens ... and I also want peanut butter.
