This is not a sandwich I have heard of and I will be FIRST in line to buy one.

Yum!

[Sarah J]

Fluffernutter and boston cremes. Where's that list of official state foods?

[Cheryl]

Today's story in the Daily News was titled "Fluffernutter in Nutty Kerfuffle." Gotta love the Daily News ...

[Sarah J]

found it

[TCK]

is it just me, or does a fluffernutter sound dangerously close to the same thing as a herring fart?

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

I'm in favor of any legislation which includes peanut butter.

Sarah J-I would have thought Florida would have something on that list--cumquats or key limes...
Obviously our public officials need to examine their priorities.

[blurkernomore]

I was thinking that fluffernutters were people employed to aid with the study on...ahem...hardness grades.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

"...Fluff -- a staple of New England lunch boxes for generations"

This explains how Ted Kennedy is able to stay in office.

[fivver]

Or at least why he ways 800 pounds. "Scotch and fluff please."

[fivver]

Weighs not ways. Sheesh.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Here's a contender.

[Juggler of Geese]

This whole Bruhaha was caused by another Mass state senator's sone being fed Fluffernutters five days in a row. I agree with the reducing the amount served. On the other hand, maybe the parents could try to send the child to school with a proper bagged lunch like my mom did.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Foghorn - that may also explain why Ted Kennedy floats.

[Annie Where-but-here]

This may also explain the size of Big Papi.

[Straw]

Geez, I bet it's the teachers that want to limit it to only one time per week. The legislators oughta try scraping these sugar-jacked kids off the ceiling and see how they like it.

[Juggler of Geese]

*tries to grab that errant E of of son.

[Suzy Q]

Lisa Bisa: Did you purposely misspell kumquat to being with c-u-m? If so, this is NOT that kind of blog! (well, not all the time, anyway)

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

angene-Looks like key lime pie won. The cumquat lobby is probably drowning their sorrows. ;-)

[Sarah J]

angene15's link

And now you can link too!

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

suzy-No, I spell checked it and it said either way was correct. But I think you're right, the "k" version is preferred. ;-)

[O. the U(manity)]

They staple their sandwiches in New England?

Is that for a high-iron diet?

[WoosterGirl]

Fox 25 in Boston reported last night that fluffernutters contain the same nutritional value as a peanut butter and jelly samwich.

I don't feel so bad sending Eldest Spawn with a fluffernutter in his bag lunch for, oh, a whole school year now.

[queensbee]

you know, i saw this story this morning and nearly sent it in, but i thought, nah, this is just a piece of fluff with no substance....

[muffles]

Speaking of food, check out #5, 6, and 7 on this list. Gosh, I play with my food when I'm done, I admit it, and I can come up with some weird combinations (leftover pile of ketchup in my leftover soup, leftover burger bits in my leftover key lime pie), but I never consider eating it.

[Chaz, in Wade County Florida]

i got nuttin'

[Sarah J]

I must say the butter burger thing is not too unlike what I do with my turkey burgers (I'm allergic to beef and accept all pity) Turkey has no flavor and almost no fat, so the burgers tend to fall apart unless I put butter medallions in them. I mix herbs and spices into softened butter, roll it up in a log, fridge, then cut thin slices that I wrap with ground turkey. YUM!

[random thunking]

Fluffer Nutter

[KDF]

Oh, fluffernutter!

I'm proud to live in a state of such distinction.

[Sarah J]

During the discussion on the adoption of a state donut by MA I stated that I was proud to live in a state with no official foods (jello is the unofficial state food), but it has come to my attention that Utah has an official state cooking pot- the dutch oven. I am saddened by this new information. :(

[muffles]

Whoa, Mr. Thunking. How about a warning next time. That does give a whole new meaning to Fluffer Nutter though. Funny, it still even makes sense.

[Punkin Poo]

KDF, Juddler, WoosterGirl - UNITE!! We must fight for our right to Fluff!!!!

(I can't believe a fluffernutter is a regional thing. Poor neglected rest of the country....)

[Punkin Poo]

Juddler?????????? Sorry, Juggler - my fingers were white and sticky.

[fivver]

our right to Fluff!!!!
my fingers were white and sticky

Why did I have to read this AFTER clicking on randum's Fluffer link?

[Kathybear]

Aren't fluffernutters what Elvis used to eat a lot of?

[Addicted to 24]

Why is the Dicks Deluxe not the offical state food of Washington. And yes for all of you who wish yo visit Seattle we can not get enough of our Dick's Deluxe's why are you all laughing?

[fivver]

I think those were peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

[orcel]

I always thought teachers would think fluffernutters were great in school, for while the kids may be getting a wee bit to much sugar, their mouths would all be glued shut by the fluff/peanut butter mixture. That stuff is stronger then brick mortor.

[Guin]

fluffernutters are heaven, but once a week is probably enough. I defy anyone to stop me from putting fluff in my cocoa, though!!

PS Fluff also comes in Raspberry.

[Punkin Poo]

Guin - are you my long-lost-cocoa & fluff-loving twin???

[Laura Vona]

Unfortunately, this story sounds pretty representative in general of our political priorities here in Massachusettes.
We'll get around to minor issues like feeding the hungry after we nail down the major issues,
like what our state sandwich is going to be...

[Guin]

Punkin, it must be the Massachusetts genes. Something about cocoa with fluff keeping the winter germs away, or something. Nevermind that I drink it from September through May.

[Eleanor]

fivver, and I read that the PB and banana sandwiches were coated in batter and deep fried - yum!!

[Juggler of Geese™]

Eleanor just beat me to it. Deep fried anything is dangerous. I still want to try a deep fried snickers when I go to Dollywood next year.

[T R Anslator]

SQ & LBFF.
Cumquat is also the German word for what Paris Hilton did a few items back. Actually, she did a cumquat and raunchen.
Hmm..cumquat & raunchen, w (that) bagnfarb?

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

T R - Uh oh, I'm afraid to look. ;-)

[djtonyb]

We've come this far and nobody's mentioned the Never Fail Fudge? That should be the official dessert after a meal of fluffernutter sammiches!

*begins to bounce off the walls from the contact sugar high*

[«LabSpecimen»]

I loves me a fluffernutter sammich. And never fail fudge. OMG... this weekend I'm making...

The Never Fail Fluffernutter Sandwich. It *will* be deep fried.

[CreamyGoodness]

Above site has video and audio of ad jingles and The Fluffernutter Theme Song, performed by The Flufferettes. Sample lyrics:

"For something delicious
You know well enough
You'll get your wishes
With Marshmallow Fluff"

"Tune in next week at the same time for more Flufferettes melodies"

ps: Raspberry Fluff is an abomination!

[djtonyb]

*books a flight to Lab's for dinner*

[Kat C]

And President Regan officially declared Catsup an appropiate vegetable for school lunches.

[sloan]

Massachusetts has the lowest rate of illiteracy, and the students eat a lot of Fluff. As a teacher who is origiannly from Massachusetts, I can't help but wonder if this is a coincidence.

Also, Elvis ate a sandwich called the Pot O'Gold. It was one gutted loaf of bread, one jar of peanut butter, one jar of jelly, and one whole pound of bacon. I just recently saw it on a documentary. I'm still having trouble thinking of what that might taste like.

[sloan]

Sorry about the mispellings... it's 2AM and I;ve had a lot of Fluff and Diet Coke.

[wendell]

It is a business. Unfortunately, it is a business that does not always understand that a cell bleeds printers black when pricked. Probably too much pressure with the NY post being sold in the Midwest.
