Is peanut butter an American thing?
 

Any non-American feast on peanut butter regularly?

Canadians do.

I'm English and I eat it almost every damn day :thumbsup

My dog is German and she loves it :winkwink:

The English and the Dutch.

All the time here. Chunky.

It's the choice of champions.

i've traveled the world, its hard to come by in some countries which was odd, like italy, but they love it and wish they could get it.

To make peanut butter:
1) Crush peanuts
2) Tada!

I had it first time in England, got some in the cupboard and since you start about it I think I will go and get some.:xomunch:xomunch:xomunch

So weird, eating a pb&j right now!

I love it.. MIght just make some French Toast and put some on for dinner.. Love it that way. Covered in Maple Syrup.

I loves my peanut butter :) The old fashioned kind made with just peanuts, of course! The kind you have to take out of the jar to give it that initial good stirring.

Chunky or smooth? (the peanut butter, that is)

A toasted PB&J is one of my most favorite snacks.

peanut butter yes, Nutella no!

its dutch, but originated from indonesia

I like peanut butter (smooth) -- but I am more of a Marmite man myself...

I can only eat PB & J on white toast and I have to dip it into milk.

I was raised on Peanut Butter.

I eat it almost every day love natural PB. Italy it is hard to come by but they have Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread all over! :)

Source? This indicates it comes from Suriname:

Isn't Nutella like peanut-butter?

I had never seen it until i moved to Canada

Not even close

Nutella is hazelnut/chocolate. Not even close to peanut butter.

I tried that once when I was a little kid and it didn't spread so good.

I like nutella but can only do it in small doses because it is sooo sweet, I usually mix it with a little PB to even it out. I made a nutella sauce once with butternut squash ravioli that was pretty good.

Marmite I can't do, gives me shivers. I think you have to be raised on the stuff to dig it.

They usually add oil as well.

thats more about the word

I eat peanut butter most every day (I'm Australian)...love the stuff. The crunchier, the better. Not a fan of Nutella though as some are in the thread. I find my teeth ache from it's sweetness.

Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter and Cajeta for me. :thumbsup

haha, ya, I know. I just remember being a little kid and smashing a bunch of salted Planters peanuts on the table with my fist and thinking I was going to make them into nice creamy peanut butter. Didn't work out so well.

Most British people think I am crazy for liking peanut butter. Plus,they are all afraid their kids are going to explode if they have nuts. Personally, I just think it is because good peanut butter is so hard to get over here.

The lady at a non-profit I used to volunteer for sent peanut butter cups to Sweden for someone, I don't think they have those over there.

I love peanut butter, Nutella is good too.

Here's a chocolate peanut butter I have:

I also want to try their white chocolate variety:

Hell no. My sister loves that shit. It looks like chocolate but tastes like dirt.

Then you need to tell them a peanut is not actually a nut is a legume. It's closer to a pea than a nut.

Peanut butter and jelly on toasted white bread is haute cuisine as far as I am concerned. :)

same here man that shit is just too sweet :2 cents:

Sarah look out for "Whole Earth Crunchy Organic" (they do smooth too if that's your thing) Has a green lid...

Available in most of the bigger supermarkets here, and WAY better than Sun-Pat, that tastes like shit imho - too sweet :2 cents:

I've never tried peanut butter but an au pair girl got addicted to it.

:thumbsup

Had it and it is okay but still not as good as American peanut butter. Even the stuff British brands call American style just isn't the same. For starters, it is never creamy enough. Even chunky peanut butter should be creamy.

I grew up a smooth Jiff gal...a freshly opened jar of that is one of the best smells ever.

Can't you get it online? http://www.americansweets.co.uk/jif-...tter-203-c.asp

I eat organic peanut butter on a regular basis.

For those of you that don't have any in your cabinets... I have two in mine. Always be prepared!
