In the meantime, the whole bottle became empty. By the end, I started to like the taste, but I'll stick with Nutella.
Outside of the very limited brands they have in some small health food stores, the very best peanut butter is Crazy Richards. It is 100% peanuts, no salt added, no oil added, just peanuts.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.
My only problem with 100% peanuts is that the oil will separate, and you have to remix it. That's why I prefer peanut butter to have a bit of palm oil mixed in, which helps to keep it all together.Crazy Richard's peanut butter is the very best peanut butter I have ever had outside of the context of small health food stores. It's 100% peanuts and nothing else, no sugar, no salt, no oils except the natural oils that come from crushing the peanuts.

You do have to do a ton of stirring. It's almost as much work as jacking off. LOLMy only problem with 100% peanuts is that the oil will separate, and you have to remix it. That's why I prefer peanut butter to have a bit of palm oil mixed in, which helps to keep it all together.
I certainly agree that the big brands can't compete taste wise or quality wise with the smaller - house brandsI've noticed a significant variation between brands (I only use single ingredient, for context). Some taste amazing while others almost taste like they're burnt. The big brands here in the US usually taste the worst in my experience, while the random unknown brands are more likely to use a better quality stock. It's worth spending an extra dollar or two on a jar.
Lol. What an awful description of a delightful food! There's a marvelous passage in Kingsley Amis' Lucky Jim describing the taste in the character's mouth when he wakes up with a hangover. Your description reminded me of thatI think it's an acquired taste. If you have it in your childhood at school, and you have to decide, it's either PBJ or nothing, you'd eat it. It than gets tethered to childhood nostalgia, so you can eat it as an adult.
Here in Europe on the other hand, as a kid, you never get exposed to peanut butter, and when you than taste it as an adult, you just get that awefull bitter taste that also sticks to your moth, just overpowers any other flavor and makes your tongue feels like it's covered in carped. It's absolutely disgusting if you never had it as a kid.
It has an unusual taste, but it's not that bad. I ate the whole bottle, it wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad either. Next time I will only buy it if I find a flavored version of it.you just get that awefull bitter taste that also sticks to your moth, just overpowers any other flavor and makes your tongue feels like it's covered in carped.

Here in central curope, there are german, french, british and dutch shops, but three quarters are german.The big brands here in the US usually taste the worst in my experience, while the random unknown brands are more likely to use a better quality stock.

Lately I've been on a kick - Run a couple of your favorite "toaster waffles" (Be that "Eggos", or whatever store-brand) through the toaster, butter 'em good, then lay on a coat pf peanut butter. One on the plate, add syrup to taste, then grab a "ready for the microwave" sausage patty (Walmart actually sells a reasonably decent "frozen pre-coooked maple-flavored pork sausage patties" product at a price that isn't ridiculous), nuke it, drop on bottom waffle, add a bit more syrup as "glue" to hold the stack together, put second (already buttered and peanut-buttered) waffle on top, drop on a slice of "cheap yellow american cheese", spritz with a bit more syrup, and gnosh.Or waffles!!!
Sounds like some stoned munchies shit right there...Lately I've been on a kick - Run a couple of your favorite "toaster waffles" (Be that "Eggos", or whatever store-brand) through the toaster, butter 'em good, then lay on a coat pf peanut butter.

Probably a cholesterol nightmare, but that's never been much of a concern to me, and it fills the belly nicely
Mickey-dees sells what amounts to the same thing under the handle "Sausage McGriddles", or "Saussge McGriddle with egg" - only real difference between theirs and mine is that they don't use peanut butter, and their syrup is "built in", so you can eat it like a sandwich without having syrup running down your face and arms.Sounds like some stoned munchies shit right there...
I had same expierence like you as child when watching American shows I always believed its sweet and very good like hazelnut but it was just like you said.I've never had eat peanut butter before. That is, the real thing that americans also eat.
