Europeans tend to dislike it. Southeast Asians love peanut sauce, so they probably like peanut butter. It would be pretty ironic if Latinos hate it, given that it was invented by Mesoamericans.

>>11745396
I love peanut butter. Especially that kind that you have to stir for "hours" to mix. But I was born here in the U.S., so I couldn't consider myself a foreigner.

Peanut butter is so fucking good, why do Euros hate it?

>>11745396
I don't know anybody in my family who hates it. We don't love it though. We usually eat things like flan, caramel, dulce de leche, tres leches, etc

>>11745442
Because they're too lazy to figure out how to make actually good peanut butter.

If you ever go to Europe try their peanut butter. It's fucking atrocious. So rather than being actual fucking productive humans and thinking "oh we should improve on this" they just assume all peanut butter is bad.

>>11745469
Are you sure because I've heard of Euros tasting and rejecting American peanut butter too. Or saying things like "it makes you choke"

>>11745404
>It would be pretty ironic if Latinos hate it, given that it was invented by Mesoamericans
That's probably why they hate it. They all pretend they're direct descendants of Queen Isabella.

>>11745404
George Washington Carver, a black man, invented peanut butter

I literally sometimes just take a big spoonful of peanut butter (smooth of course) and lick it like it were a spoon of the smoothest tastiest icecream. Crunchy peanut butter lacks the richness and unctuous texture that I love about smooth peanut butter.

>>11745442
American Peanut Butter is usually made with shitty hydrogenated vegetable lards. It's very bad for you and tastes really bad.

The really weird thing is Europeans like nutella, cookie butter, and a lot of different weird "spreads", yet they still hate peanut butter. Making it a rare case where Americans choose a healthier option, because penut butter is a lot more nutritious than cookie butter and such.

>>11745396
Colombian here living in the USA. I love peanut butter, add it to smoothies all the time. Family loves it too, bro was too lazy to cook an hour ago and ate peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon.

>>11745523
Get off /ck/ you potato. Just causs you live under a rock doesn't mean the US consist of burger lard and soda only, there's natural peanut butter for a dollar more without the hydrogenated oils (you just have to stir it everytime). Taste is subjective.

>>11745396
My parents like it (or tolerate it at least), but whenever I've gone to Mexico to visit my cousins, they never have any (or any strawberry based preserves for that matter)

>>11745473
I mean it goes both ways.
If they get a jar of trash "peanut butter" that's actually 40% palm oil to dilute the product and cut costs, not liking it makes sense.
On the other side, they don't actually make good peanut butter.

if you go to europe and end up with super overpriced terrible peanut butter blame ridiculous eu import tariffs and such

>>11745494
No, he didn't. But was an inventor of other things.

>>11745523
That's only if you buy the really cheap basic bitch brands like Skippy or Peter Pan. Just take a second to read the damn ingredients list. You can get natural peanut butter with no added bullshit at pretty much any grocery store down to a bumblefuck general store (who might have extra fresh homemade peanut butter with nothing added).

I dont know why Euros who travel in the US insist on buying the shittiest pleb tier brands we have, then declaring our food sucks. I'm pretty sure our food is already cheaper than theirs on average, so why are they penny pinching when it comes to the food?

Pic related it's a locally made peanut butter in my state and it's pretty much crack cocaine in a jar

gtfo peanut butter shills.

I've noticed both blacks and whites dislike peanut butter due to allergy.

>>11745581
IF you were American you'd know every American loves peanut butter so much they'll defend it any time anywhere. The only exceptions are allergic people and stuck up almond butter hipsters

>>11745396
Eurofag here. Not everyone dislikes peanut buttter. I would guess 50% do, while the rest generally like it.
Personally I dislike it. It's not so much the taste but more the consistancy. Unlike other spreads, it sticks in your mouth like Tar, and dries it out.

I'm not passing a value judgement on it but personally I stay clear of it. Mayby its because I didn't try it until adulthood.

>>11745654
You're supposed to eat the peanut butter while sipping on milk or some other thick beverage, the milk washes it down and it wont dry out the roof of your mouth then

>>11745469
Imagine been so hurt over a continent not liking peanut butter

>>11745396
People here would call me a spic and I love it.

Maybe because spics use leche de dulce more often they don’t bother with peanut butter? Everyone loves peanut butter and Euros probably don’t like them because of the film at the top since they are pretentious

>>11745396
I'm Euro, been in the USA. If by peanut butter you're talking about jif or any other hydrogenated shit, then no it tastes like absolute shit. If you however mean what your picture shows, I will eat it out of that fuckin jar with a glass of milk, I even make my own, that stuff is magic.

>>11745494
found the nigger

it was an ethnic that invented the peanut

>>11745396
I'm Nordic and I find it kinda boring. I don't like peanuts so that might have something to do with it. There are so many better tasting nuts.

It was invented by John Harvey Kellogg, of breakfast cereal fame.

Probably True
Latino here, they don't really make peanut butter here so you have to buy imported ones that are expensive as fuck.
They actually sell some here, but it's sold as protein supplement to gym rats, it's also pure peanut butter with sugar salt and all that shit, and you have to mix it since it's not hydrogenated.
Sucks for me since i love peanut butter, PB & Jelly is god tier food.

>>11745396
>especially Latinos
its very expensive here because of the importation. high quality peanut butter is actually delicious and if i could i would fill the entire kitchen with it.

the low quality peanut butter is still expensive but your sugary hydrogenated oil "peanut butters" taste like pure shit.

>>11746788
I've fapped to that video several times. I'm probably due for another round with it.

>>11745494
Peanut paste has existed since medival times.

you dont have these in us?

>>11747547
Here in Argaytina peanut butter is extremely expensive, same goes for nutella and other imported butters.

>>11745396
Based on my extensive research of Youtube videos with the topic "[Person from Country of origin] tries American candy," I have noticed the following trends:

Seems mixed in Australia. Some like it, some are pissed off that "Americans stick peanut butter in every candy."

Asians tend to think peanut butter is weird, but a few are obsessed and think it's the greatest thing ever

Germans find it polarizing. They either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it.

Brits seem to like it.

Seeing as how peanut butter is a mesoamerican invention, I don't imagine they dislike it.

>>11745396
Russian here and yeah I don't really get it. I tried to explain it to Russians in Russia and they don't get it either and why you wouldn't just use Nutella.

>>11745396
It's a common spread here in New Zealand. I like some on toast with honey.

The only things I love peanut butter in is with celery sticks and in peanut butter banana smoothies.

>>11745396
My family's been in the US for at least four generations (probably more, but I'm not one of those ancestry autists who would know about it that far into the past), European (German) ethnicity, and I can't understand the appeal to peanut butter. I've tried making myself eat it more than a few times just because it seems like something that's supposed to be really good to incorporate into your diet that gets enough praise from people to make me think I should be able to like it too.
But every time it starts out kind of tasting OK but then leaving me with a feeling like I've been poisoned.
>inb4 I was using the wrong kind of peanut butter
I've tried the most stereotypical / generic Jif peanut butter, the basic plain kind like Smucker's Natural, the higher end organic stuff like Peanut Butter & Co., the store brand shit like Trader Joe's, etc. So no, I'm not just having some reaction to an added artificial ingredient or a poor quality brand or whatever. It's peanut butter in itself.
In contrast I love salt to the point where I've never even encountered a case where I felt a food was too salty. I notice salt is used heavily with peanut butter to try to make it more palatable and sodium and potassium have some sort of opposing relationship with one another, with peanuts being a potassium heavy food. You see something similar with V8 juice where the regular version is heavily salted to try to balance out a very potassium heavy drink. So my tentative head canon is that people who don't like peanut butter like myself might be more geared towards operating with a higher sodium to potassium ratio compared to people who do like it.

For me it's shit tahini substitute, I use sometimes to make humus.

>>11745396
Southeast Asian here. It's okay, I guess.

>>11746743
>If by peanut butter you're talking about jif
Fellow Euro here, jif was indeed the first peannut butter I tasted (and the last, too). I absolutely hated the texture and the way it seemed to coat my palate, but it did indeed feel like chewing a mouthful of one of those solid white blocks of cooking fat.

shitalian here
people just don't know what it is and the ones you can find in the supermarket are usually jiff or calvé
however it is popular amongst fitfags&co and so there are some local organic natural blabla brand
all the people who i know which have tried it did like it, however the traditional hazelnut's spreads or pistacchio's spread are too big to let space to another product

>>11750804
>pistachio nutella

Boner

is there a more kino snack than celery+peanut butter?

>>11750438
pb is food
nutella is candy

Peanut butter gives me horrible gas (I'm white) so I make sure to eat a bunch when I will be in a long car ride with someone else.

Eastern European here. I absolutely love peanut butter and most people I know love it too

South-Eastern Yuropoor. I only like the smooth version, and the people I know either absolutely hate it, or like it, but, again, only the smooth version.
I need to try sunflower seed butter, since it sounds interesting. Besides, sunflower seeds are a traditional snack for working-class filth like me.

Why do you act like this is unique to peanut butter? Have you ever seen a "muh homemade spaghetti sauce" thread? The vast majority of Americans are too dumb to read a label.

>>11747609
You should never eat a kraft product

>>11745396
I'm Danish. I don't know anyone who really dislikes it, but people don't usually go crazy for it either.
And it's kind of expensive here.

>>11745575
Just buy a food processor you fucking hipster

>>11750796
that's the problem with peanut butter. outside of the US/Canada it's mostly just imitation Kraft/Skip/Jif shit.

europeans are used to nutella which is hazlenuts

not a wild departure from peanuts but it does taste different. also its a freakish chocolate base. i think its disgusting, personally.

>>11745396
Frenchfag here. People here hate it I don't know why.. I love it personally.

>>11751454
spaghetti sauce is stupid easy to make, I don't see why anyone wouldn't make their own.
chop chop shove it in a pot and wait
It's pretty reasonable to get crushed tomatoes in a can though.

>>11745575
I can see wanting to live like the common man does when travelling, but I can't see doing that in America--that's completely pointless.
I mean, if you want to live like a peasant, then the vast majority of effort America has spent on food culture has been exactly towards improving industrialized processed food for consumption by poorfags.
But people shouldn't be surprised when food for poorfags doesn't meet your expectations for taste.
I'm sure it didn't 200 years ago and I'm sure it never will.

>be in high school (US)

The Aztecs invented it. But he rediscovered it and a bunch of other uses for peanuts. Iirc he was actually trying to see if he could make adhesive from peanuts and realized it tasted nice.

>>11745396
Latinos love peanut butter though

>>11755471
I want to make Russian qts fat ;_;

>>11745396
I’m beaner and love peanut butter. Stop being a faggot

>>11745404
Here in Norway is pretty uncommon, but several people like it. Personally I find it quite disgusting, but its probably an aquired taste.

>>11756076
>but several people like it

So about half of Norway?

Only with something sweet, it's pretty bad on its own

>>11746851
Hollander

I've never had any and never had anyone tell me they did. Manufacturers use hazelnut for sweet products, whereas peanut is usually in savoury stuff, I guess we're used to that.

>>11745442
We don't you credulous nigger.

South Korean here. We usually have no problem with peanut butter because it goes well with coffee made from Colombian beans.

mole sauce is a traditional mexcian sauce that is used widley in mexico and other parts of central and south america, so no latinos don't hate peanut butter, but many europeans do for some reason, i know peanut butter is also really popular in parts of asia and idk about Africa

>>11756785
ever bang any south korean girls?

>>11745442
Because Islam forbids it.

when I buy peanut butter, I buy a bunch when it's on sale and then I leave it in my car trunk
it moves around a bunch back there so I never have to stir when I open it

>>11745396
I'm a white American and I have no love for peanut butter. I don't think it's disgusting, but it's not something I want to eat.

>>11757348
A fellow intellectual I see

>>11745396
Frenchfag here. People hate it and I can't understand why. Since I was a kid and tried some Pindakaas for this place call the Netherlands, I'm hooked. Those fuckers also have some custard called "Vla" or something like this. Truly interesting people.

So yes, people hate penut butter in France. I like it and the dutch one is way above all the other.

>>11746851
I was talking about this shit. 10/10.

I don't like it, on the other hand I'm not a fan of peanuts either so maybe not that much of a surprise

>>11756061
