@blp That's... An insane claim. 🤨
Maybe it's not a thing in Scotland, but lots of countries around the world like it.
Mexico included.

@blp when I was in high school, I was an exchange student in France. Before I left a bunch of people told me to make sure and take jars of peanut butter with me as a gift because they didn’t have it typically over there. It was a huge hit. I was astonished that every place didn’t have peanut butter.
I the other hand, discovered Nutella while I was over there which wasn’t easily available in the United States at the time. To me that was infinitely better than peanut butter!

Crunchy PB with no preservatives or sugar is great. PB cooked into stuff is shite though. -

@blp I don't know about Scotland, but here in Lisboa all the major grocery stores have quite a bit of shelf space devoted to PB. I don't think there are enough expat Americans here to eat the amount of it they're selling.

I don't know about peanut butter anywhere else but here in the US it typically has a metric-fuck-ton of sugar in it. (I checked, that's an actual unit of measurement.

You would think so but, in fact, the only time we're willing to use metric measurements is when we swear.

@blp I grew up in England, live in Scotland and love peanuts and peanut butter. Though I'm picky...I only like smooth peanut butter, rather than the one that has bits in it.

@blp @erininstereo oh yeah, peanut cream is definitely a thing, usually in bready foods
I'm a fan of it though I can also see why some might not be a fan
