Why do Americans eat peanut butter?

[insurgent]

I visited America a couple of weeks ago, and, as I had also seen on TV, they ate peanut butter. I regret that I didn't taste it, but I'm told it tastes salty. Does it? Why do they eat it then? It's not something you usually see here in Europe...

Peanut Butter is great!
It tastes slightly salty but that only gives it more character.
Mmmm... Peanut Butter and jam on white bread...

 

[CurtSibling]

I know why!

'Jif' smooth peanut butter rules!

I was introduced to it by my American colleague at work!

 

[insurgent]

Yes, but it doesn't make sense to me to put some salty thing on bread, and perhaps even something sweet on top or inside a sandwich...

EDIT: Post no. 700! [dance] [dance] [dance]

Peanut Butter is great, it ranges from smooth and creamy to very crunchy, I eat it almost everyday, it's great on sandwiches and toast and it never really occured to me that it was salty, I guess I didn't ever notice!

 

[insurgent]

I don't know, never tasted it.

 

[HotDog Fish]

Well let's juset say it's not as salty as they say it is...depending on the peanut butter company, some just taste diffrent from others

We have Peanut Butter in the UK, everybody eats it adn I love it! Although i don't see the point in mixing it with Jam

 

[amadeus]

I hate peanut butter.

Bah! Peanut butter-eating infidels!

Hey, I like PB + Chocolate and I'm NOT American!

 

[insurgent]

*stunned* okay I just found out it can be bought in Danish shops... Will taste soon! *determined*

If ye think that peanut butter is salty, I shudder to think of what ye would make of Vegemite.

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Now Vegemite, what can i say?

I am glad that it safely tucked away on the othe side of the world

Peanut Butter is one of the greatest foods ever, and it's not all that salty. For those of who question mixing it with jam, you need to try just 1 PB&J sandwhich, they are great. Then any type of Peanut Butter Cup is good, with the peanut butter covered in chocolate. So if you haven't had any do your self a favor and go get some.

 

[IceBlaZe]

Do you know the terms "Be a happy little vegemite" or "Drilling for Vegemite" oh dark one?

Damn australian slang.

But hey, no worries mate

 

[anarchywrksbest]

You flaming Galar!

 

[dannyevilcat]

Peanut Butter is good, especially the smooth variety. Vegemite and marmite is a foul, nasty abomination!

The best spread I've ever had is french canadian maple butter. If you've ever had it, I'm certain you agree with me.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

It's 'Galah', you silly Pommy bastard. (another great piece of Australian vernacular)

Iceblaze, what do you think? I've only lived here my whole life.

And what is so frightening about it anyway. It is great to eat, and can also suffice as preservative goo.

Another good sandwich is peanut butter and chocolate chips, mixing the peanut-butter and chocolate combination with a sandwich. Mmmmm.

I'm going to have to agree, adding chocolate to anything with peanut butter makes a nice meal/snack.
