ITT: Interesting food trivia about other cultures

>Did you know peanut butter (and peanuts in general) are really only grown and eaten in America? When surveyed, 70% of Japanese people did not even know what a "peanut" was.

Interesting stuff. Everyone outside of America is missing out because peanut butter is delicious! What about you /ck/, any international facts or wisdom?

It's a food that is the closest in texture and composition to human faeces.
That's why children love it, reminds them of eating shit.
Among adults most normal people stop eating peanut butter at maturity.
It appeals to an immature person with a juvenile palate.

'''Marcellus Gilmore Edson (1849 – 1940) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada obtained a patent for a method of producing peanut butter from roasted peanuts using heated surfaces in 1884.[5] Edson's cooled product had "a consistency like that of butter, lard, or ointment" according to his patent application which described a process of milling roasted peanuts until the peanuts reached "a fluid or semi-fluid state'''

Peanuts are grown in the warm climates of Asia, Africa, Australia, and North and South America. The United States grows 10% of the world’s crop. The rest of the world’s peanut production comes mainly from Argentina, Brazil, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Sudan.

World peanut production totals about 29 million metric tons per year.
