"Little Richard is best-known as the flamboyant rock 'n' roll pioneer who gave us classic hits like "Tutti Frutti" and "Good Golly Miss Molly," always delivered with incredible gusto. With a performance style defined by explosive piano playing and electrifying exclamations, it's no question that he probably drummed up quite the appetite between all that yelping, screaming, and shouting. So when he wasn't changing the face of modern music, it's more than likely that he was indulging in his favorite snack:"
"In a 1998 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Richard talked about his love of the nutty spread and some of his favorite ways to enjoy this simple treat. When he was younger, he 'liked peanut butter and honey, but sometime [sic] honey [got] too sweet' for him. So at some point, Richard started adding natural peach preserves to his peanut butter - something he could eat 'for every meal' - as well as bananas to his peanut butter sandwiches before frying the entire thing."
Little Richard combined high-energy rock 'n' roll performances with a strong fondness for peanut butter. He initially liked peanut butter with honey but later favored natural peach preserves and often added bananas, sometimes frying peanut butter-banana sandwiches. He called vegetarian peanut butter "terrible" and said he would rather just eat the peanuts. His vegetarianism may have influenced his views on certain peanut butter products and could reflect confusion between vegetarian and vegan ingredient sources such as cane sugar refined with bone char, honey, or fish-derived omega-3s.
