Fluffernutter sandwich angers Mass. senator

BOSTON - It's creamy, it's sweet and it's become a staple of lunch boxes for generations of New England school children.

Now, the beloved Fluffernutter sandwich — the irresistible combination of Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter, preferably on white bread with a glass of milk handy — finds itself at the center of a sticky political debate.

Sen. Jarrett Barrios was outraged that his son Nathaniel, a third-grader, was given a Fluffernutter sandwich at the King Open School in Cambridge. He said he plans to file legislation that would ban schools from offering the local delicacy more than once a week as the main meal of the day.

The Democrat said that his amendment to a bill on junk food in schools may seem "a little silly" — but that school nutrition is s0erious.

His proposal seemed anything but silly to Rep. Kathi-Anne Reinstein, a Democrat whose district in Revere is near the company that has produced the marshmallow concoction for more than 80 years, Durkee-Mower Inc.

She responded with a proposal to designate the Fluffernutter the "official sandwich of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."

"I'm going to fight to the death for Fluff," Reinstein said.

3. I tried a fluffernutter sandwich once.

Fluffernutter & peanut butter on wonder bread. I took one bite and declared it one of the most disgusting things I've ever tried. My friends called me...

Un-American.

6. An even worse use

I use fluff and peanut butter as ingredients in peanut butter fudge.

My children never ate a fluffernutter sandwich, but they loved the fudge.

2 cups sugar
2/3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup marshmallow fluff
1 cup peanut butter

Cook sugar and milk to soft ball stage (234 degrees). Add other ingredients. Mix well and pour into buttered pan about 9 x 9 inches. Cool and cut into squares. Makes about 2 pounds.

10. I grew up w/ fluffernutters

but I can understand not wanting them served in a school cafeteria. They are mostly empty calories.

Some students have only the school provided lunch to gain a well-balanced meal. For these students, a fluffernutter is the worst thing they could have. They need tasty and balanced.

IMO: Fluffernutter=great snack on a cold day, not a great lunch for the cafeteria to serve.

(And I bet there is a further push on school lunches again. I read a report where a number of states received "F" ratings for their programs. The best state was actually Kentucky.)
