I just tried peanut butter for the first time in my life. Why are Americans so crazy about this stuff? It's one of the blandest things I've ever tasted, I'd rather eat a fucking cucumber sandwich than this stuff.
It just tastes of fat and nothing else. It tastes like I'm eating some sort of flavourless oil (e.g. vegetable), except with a much different texture.
I thought to myself "maybe I'm just not meant to eat it on its own" so I tried it in a sandwich, I tried it with icecream, I tried it in porridge. It adds no flavour, just makes everything fatty as if I'm eating McDonald's. I guess that's why Americans love it so much.
Pic related, the brand I tried. Tesco only had this brand and a local brand.

Tastes like peanuts to me.

i dunno i guess its something you have to grow up with
it might've been the brand you tried. if you care enough, its pretty easy to make as long as you have a food processor.
i like to take granola and mix it with peanut butter and chocolate chips and eat that instead of like dessert

I love eating chocolate chips instead of dessert. Do you ever eat potatoes and steak instead of dinner? I highly recommend it.

Tastes like peanuts. Also, try smucker's natural, just peanuts and salt.
It doesnt taste like fat, it tastes like peanuts you mad cunt
And i dont even like peanut butter that much, i'm just stating facts
Get your taste buds sorted out m8, pronto
>>7713891
Well of course it would taste awful to something as refined as the British palate.

You probably ate creamy like a faggot
Crunchy is where its at

It's a kid food for the most part. It's bland sure (but kids like it bland), it's easily digestible and it's just within their skill level to handle using it to make their own sandwiches with.
I'd also say they probably put extra shortening in there to keep it from separating. "Natural" peanut butter separates out into oil and sludge pretty quick and you have to stir it to get it back together.
If they sold you that, you'd probably be bitching about having to stir it instead of it tasting like shortening. They also tend to put loads of sugar in the things too, mainly because anything with more sugar increases sales and profits.
Just stick to your marmite and your baked beans on toast. If you really insist on something with taste, get a jar of dry roasted peanuts and grind them in a food processor until it forms a paste.

>WHAT THE SHIT
If a person never has tried peanut butter, you could convince him that's how peanut butter tastes. It was absolutely inedible and with so many ingredients that you can eat like a fucking nutella without drinking anything.
Got back to the 100% peanut butter like I am used to eat.
OP - Get some proper PB, try it with jelly or bananas+honey. Divine stuff
Peanut butter is sublime, but then OP is from a place where they eat eels.
I am Russian and just discovered this shit 1 year ago. Now every breakfast pb+banana on toast. It's tasty.
>>7713891
Fuck off you shit posting, American cunt.
>>7714118
Did some research and the Russian palate just doesn't get peanut butter.
Yet.
American marketing needs to solve this.
There's a fortune to be made here, boys.

erhm... nah
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches on white bread (buttered before the application of peanut butter) followed by flamin hot monster munch and a can of coke is the gourmets lunch imo
It's not exactly an obscure item here either, you silly goose. Tesco's crunchy own brand isn't oily in texture, or you can get Meridian which is widely available and is made from 100% peanuts and nothing else. If it's not the oil and you just dislike the taste of peanuts, then peanut butter is perhaps not for you. The good news is that it's not exactly a dietary staple, you don't need to sit there with a face like a slapped arse eating it in every combination imaginable to prove to the world you don't like it.
OP, I've been thinking about this thread for over 4 hours. I'm now drunk and upset.
I can ship you some decent it butter, just to know I've improved a life. Do you actually like peanuts?
>>7714276
