What is Elvis Presley's favorite food? Keychain Sandwich...?

     I hope all fans of Elvis know the answer. 

Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8, 1935, in a small house in Tupelo, Mississippi.
He eventually captured the hearts and souls of millions worldwide through his music and personality.
Elvis Presley was a man of many talents.
He could sing, he could dance, he could (more or less) play guitar, he could rock rhinestones and white leather jumpsuits like none other,
and he sure knew how to eat. 
The King of Rock and Roll had some interesting tastes in food, and many of his favorite dishes have entered lore.
Today I would like to talk about probably his favorite sandwich
"Peanut butter, banana and/or not bacon".
              Of course, I crocheted this sandwich. Could be different?

Recipes

Grilled Banana and Peanut Butter Sandwiches.

1/2 C creamy peanut butter
2 very ripe bananas
10 slices buttered bread
butter

Blend the peanut butter w/ bananas till reamy.

Spread the mixture over 5 slices of bread. In a skillet melt enough butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
Place sndwiches in pan and grill til the bread is lightly toasted
Flip to grill the other side. Drain on paper towells

makes 5 sandwiches.

According to David Adler’s book The Life and Cuisine of Elvis Presley, eating the sandwich was something of a ritual for Elvis: “Elvis enjoyed eating picnic style. However, he fastidiously used a knife and fork to eat his peanut butter and banana sandwiches.” Probably not a bad call: it’s one of the messier sandwiches you’ll find.

I made as keychain.
Size 1in. by 1in.
The Elvis's Sandwich, I made hard as a rock by using a stiffener.
As long keychain stays dry, it will never loose shape.
I use my favourite 100% cotton yarn and crochet hook 1.65mm/7.
The sandwich was a gift for a friend Elvis's fan.
