I tasted peanut butter

[MashaSobaka]

I've never had eat peanut butter before. That is, the real thing that americans also eat. Here in europe, chocolate and hazelnut sweet creams are the most common (Nutella etc), the store shelves are full of them, there is maybe 1 peanut butters.
This afternoon I saw it on the store shelf and remembered ZV and peanut butter. So I bought one and tasted it.
It doesn't taste good. I thought it would be a sweet, flavored cream, like the choco cream, but it tastes 100% like peanuts available in a bag, which I put a handful in my mouth and chew. It's just spread on bread.
Chocolate and sweet hazelnut creams are much tastier.

Put it on bread, slap some jam on another piece of bread, put them together and you have a pb&j. Honey works for a jam substitute too. If you still don’t like it you may just be broken ?

I'm broken then. Peanuts are pretty bleh.

 

[Schuppentier]

Yea, I tried it multible times, I tried it raw, and with different kind of jams. It's always disgusting stuff, because the peanut taste just overwhelms any other taste. It just makes anything taste worse than without it.

 

[Shadow86]

I've heard some of our easter counterparts have vomited at the taste of a Pb&J

 

[MashaSobaka]

Honey is a good idea, I'll try it. I like sweet.

 

[Gohnny]

And with marmalade strawberry is really nice ( depends on his/hers taste ofc )

 

[amorousdog5]

I've got the exact opposite taste. For me, putting jam or anything sweet on a peanut butter sandwich ruins the peanuty goodness. Although outside of sandwiches, I don't mind peanut butter and chocolate combos.

there are many kinds of peanut butter, I get the smooth creamy type, it is sweet

I've never tasted maple syrup before. If I see it in a store, I will buy it.

It's described as creamy and sweet, 90% peanut butter, 10% sugar and palm oil.
And... I don't find it sweet.

I tried it with honey, so it's better. However the peanut flavor is still very strong and the texture is sticky.
Nutella is a soft cream.

If you do, make sure you get REAL 100% authentic maple syrup, and not any of that artificial stuff. It costs a little more, but it's twice as good as the artificial stuff.

So, I'm curious what brand you purchased and was it a brand that was made in your country or the US? Or were you in the US when you bought it? All of these can make a difference. Especially if you somehow bought "all natural" peanut butter. Now that's gross.

Like every kid in America had a PBJ at school

 

[FoxandtheHounds]

I love peanut butter. I am the weird type of American that usually doesn't add jam or jelly to my sandwiches though.

 

[dartel]

It's still literally just ground up peanuts, with oil added to make a smooth emulsion.

I don't know that I ever did. We ate school lunches.

That’s why it’s so good!

 

[dartel]

No, that's why it's bleh.

Are you also one of those plebeians who likes pineapple on pizza?

Damn straight.

 

[Daneζ]

Damn straight.

That explains a lot ?

Back on topic tho, peanut butter on pancakes is another thing you can try. And if you like it sweet, put some syrup on top of that. They go good together ?

 

[MashaSobaka]

No. No pineapple on pizza. No. No.

 

[Constantine999]

I really enjoy a peanut butter sandwich with a slice of American cheese. Don't judge me!

 

[Reconscope]

Peanut butter tastes bitter

I can totally understand not liking peanut butter if sweet spreads are what you're used to. It's like that one time I took a drink from my glass of milk, and nearly spit it up when a sharp acid taste hit my mouth. I was thinking, "OMG, did this milk turn?!"

...turns out it was orange juice. Expectations. If you're thinking it should be sweet and it's not, that can make a big difference.

I dont like nutella, but I like peanut butter. Probably because I dont like sweet things.

 

[shernibeast]

I could not agree more.

That's actually a common thing I hear from Europeans it's honestly cheaper to get peanut butter here. That and it's a good source of protein for broke people it's somewhat sweet it comes in different textures there's the chunky version and the smooth version. Goes well with custard, jams, jellys, and chocolate. There's even recipes to make pie out of it. Peanut butter pie ? one of my favorite desserts honestly.
