Roger,
opinions welcome, so here goes.
I have always preferred crunchy peanut butter over creamy.
Yet crunchy is prone to tear fresh bread, so one must be careful when spreading, no rush job nor late night "fog of sleep" snacking. Also, if unsure, best not to keep it in the refrigerator, although this storage method is de rigueur in our household.
Just a word of warning, - NEVER buy one of those jars of "Natural" Crunchy Peanut Butter, you know the ones where the oil and all that golden goodness have turned their backs to each other and parted ways. You will never know a minute of happiness from that point on. And God forgive! if you refrigerate it! It will remain a permanent mass of oily goo incapable of reconstituting. (I speak from sad experience here, Brother.)
Solamente mi dos centavos.
