Today I made crêpes for breakfast like I usually do…
And I tried some smooth peanut butter inside one of them. It doesn’t taste horrible, but after a bit of eating it, I felt like I was in the 3rd circle of hell.
I asked my mother and my grandma for an opinion, and they too agreed.
Why do Americans torture themselves like this?
I’m not American so I grew up hearing about peanut butter from their media. I made up this amazing idea of it, which was completely shattered when I finally tasted it.
It’s probably one of those acquired tastes like Australians with Vegemite (which I also tried according to recommendations but I probably just needed to go back in time and be born in Australia).
I still dream of tasting my imaginary peanut butter.
The straightforward natural peanut butters, like Adams, that pretty much only have peanuts in the ingredients list, taste much better than the cheaper ones, for what it’s worth. Also unsalted is way better, imo. Some brands add way to much salt and/or sugar and ruin the taste.
The no-stir ones might also taste different - I’m not sure since I’ve always just avoided those.
But ofc maybe it’s just not your thing. Point is that different peanut butters do taste different.
