But all ideas are appreciated.<BR/><BR/>I'm allergic to peanuts, but my family is not - what is a tastefully-correct substitute? For peanut butter in a Thai recipe I used sunflower seed butter, but my family hissed and booed. Sesame paste (tahini) seems too grainy on the face of it. Ground up pine nuts or pecans or walnuts seem wrong on the taste scale (though that's based on smell - I haven't really tasted peanuts or peanut butter).<BR/><BR/>Suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
