I bought peanut butter because /fit/ told me it was good.
I bought peanut butter because america loves it.
It costed 4 dollars.
It's a Great Value product (not like there is any other brand of peanut butter here).
It came with little pieces of actual peanut.
It was all gonna be perfect.
I bought bread.
I put the peanut butter on the bread.
I ate it.

Woah, this... is not what I expected, at all. Now I have a full jar of "crunchy" peanut butter that I'm not sure I like. How am I supossed to eat this thing anyway (inb4 jelly. no thanks, too obvious, also I'm a poorfag). Eating it with bread was the driest thing I have ever eaten.

yah peanut butter is going to be dry on bread alone. try toasting the bread with less peanut butter
or dip chocolate in it for a desert

While you may have gotten an off brand product, there is no reason anyone who likes peanut butter should have found it as revolting as OP did. He probably just doesnt like peanut butter. Fuckin fag.

It always amazes me to hear more stories of people who haven't had peanut butter before. It's just a fact of life for me, it's been around since before the void.
I dunno if you're adverse to buying some real maple syrup, as it's an expensive item, but if you ever want a real treat, mix some peanut butter with maple syrup and eat with bread and apple.
Super unhealthy mode: mix some dairy butter in with the peanut butter and maple syrup, eat with cornbread and hot peppers

OP, normally I would just call you a faggot or not even reply to this thread because you say you dislike crunchy peanut butter.

For the first time ever last week, I purchased Great Value crunchy peanut butter. It's so bland and dry, absolutely disgusting. Buy another brand of peanut butter, or make your own, you won't be disappointed.

FUCK Wal-Mart brand peanut butter. It's bad and they should feel bad.

[Anonymous No.4563162]

>>4563010
While normally I would agree with you, Great Value is particularly horrible. It's literally the only crunchy peanut butter I dislike.

Kroger and Dollar General have some really good crunchy peanut butter, if you want to get it cheap.

I don't really like peanut butter sandwiches either unless I add other ingredients.

Try mixing honey and peanut butter in a bowl before spreading it. It's creamier, not as dry, and has a wonderful taste. You could also put banana or apple slices on the sandwich for moisture and taste.

I've always found it odd how foreigners hate peanut butter. It's like our Vegimite, but I just don't see it. What's so crazy about the taste or texture? It's literally blended up peanuts, which are the most bland and boring snacks aside from pretzels IMO.

I guess all the Reese's Cups and PB&Js helped us Americans acquire the taste?

[Anonymous No.4563271]

>>4563033

Really...

Honey is expensive cause it a lot of work to make it.

Peanut butter is expensive cause lol lots of peanuts in a jar. Besides look at the caloric density of it, it's not like you need to eat 1/4 of a jar to fill satisfied.

Get natural peanut butter (THE KIND YOU NEED TO STIR, NOT SHITTY PALM OIL KIND) Once you eat that for a while, all other peanut butter will taste like it's some kind of horrible 50/50 mix of margarine and actual peanut butter.

[Anonymous No.4563314]

That brand tastes like shit and it's made with palm oil which is really bad for you. Get natural Smuckers or something similar.

[Anonymous No.4563363]

At least palm oil is natural.

Hell I grew up eating that high trans-fat delicious peanut butter. The kind that was shelf stable at 90F for months. So smooth, so creamy.

[Anonymous No.4563382]

>>4563363
It's probably the natural fat source that's the worst for you after lard or something though. It's mostly saturated fat, and as far as I'm aware, it's the only plant derived oil that stays solid at room temperature, hence it's use for "natural" peanut butter.

[Anonymous No.4563404]

Spread it on hot toast next time. It melts the peanut butter a bit.

[Anonymous No.4563435]

>>4563235
Peanuts are a new world crop, and peanuts used to be pretty much universally grown in America (China and India surpassed US production. We're too busy with GMO corn and Soy, I guess).
Peanut butter was invented by an American for American consumers.
That's pretty much the long and the short of it. There's literally no reason why it wouldn't be enjoyed by Europe, but it's never had that push into ubiquity like it has here.

Peanut butter is good...

...if it's creamy and made by Jif.

Unfortunately, you got store-brand crunchy, and Walmart brand at that.

At this point your best bet is to take your cues from Elvis and start making your PB sandwiches with bananas and/or bacon. Toasting the bread will also make your sandwich not be a slimy mess.

[Anonymous No.4563546]

>>4563235
Because peanuts are dirt cheap over here, and may even be subsidized. Since it's a high-protein food that's also high in fat, vegetarian and cheap to grow over here, it makes an ideal food with which to ward off starvation in kids in families that are on welfare. As a result, it's become a kind of common-denominator food here. No matter how poor you were, you still have had peanut butter.

[Anonymous No.4563556]

You can adapt the recipe any way you like, but simple and easy just can't be beat.

Grandma used brown sugar, and thus, so do I. The darker the sugar, the chewier the cookie, and you get a crisp bottom on the cookie too.

Ha. Peanuts went from being pig feed > main staple of slaves > mainstream.

[Anonymous No.4564197]

Think of peanut butter as a spread or condiment. It is best when it is working together with other ingredients. That's why mustard sammich is too tangy, mayo sammich is too greasy, and peanut butter sammich is too dry (give your dog a spoon of it sometime its hilarious. They slurp, smack, and lick the air for 15 minutes all while walking around in circles).

Some things I've found it works well with: milk, bread (plain or toasted), chocolate, grape or strawberry jam/jelly, bananas, apples, graham crackers, cinamon + brown sugar cookies, celery, vanilla or chocolate ice cream, soy sauce... Pretty much in that order.

The milk, jelly, toast and chocolate I cannot stress enough. I can think of anything that goes better with any of those things.

pretty much. Peanut butter is delicious but inedible without a glass of milk.

[Anonymous No.4564537]

>>4562956
Here's my simple peanut butter toast.

Ingredients:
>peanut butter
>normal butter
>bread
>parmesan cheese (optional - any pungent dry italian cheese will work)

First, toast your bread. This works best in a toaster oven because of what we're going to do later. Once your bread is brown and toasty, take that shit out and butter it. Turn your toaster oven back on while you do this. After the butter is melted, slather some peanut butter on there. The more organic and simple the peanut butter, the better. That shit should have three ingredients: peanuts, salt, and oil, or better yet, just peanuts and salt, but I suppose you gotta take what you can get.

Once you have your peanut butter on your toast (not that thick of a layer, you just need enough that it mixes some with the melty butter), pop it back in your toaster oven that has been kept hot. You shouldn't need to turn it on since you had it on while buttering your toast. Once the peanut butter is a silky melted consistency, you're good to go. The optional cheese is dusted on top, something a friend and I came up with one day while we were stoned. It was fucking delicious.

If you don't have a toaster oven, this will be a bit harder. Once your toast pops up, you need to butter it and peanut butter it and then pop it on top of the toaster slots while the toaster is on again. The rising heat will toast the bottom of your bread over the slots, so don't overly toast your bread to begin with. Once your peanut butter is melty and of a silk consistency, you are good to go.
