Grew up in the US, only like the natural peanut butter that doesn't have sugar or palm oil. -

@blp just wanted to clarify that while I do like peanut butter, American peanut butter is an abomination.
The acceptable ingredients are peanuts and (preferably but not necessarily) salt.

@KitL You can get peanut butter like that here. It's what I buy. I imagine we mostly export the worst stuff though.

@blp to be fair, with hindsight most of my attempts to buy groceries in America were from petrol stations, which may not have been an unbiased sample.

@KitL For a year or so I subscribed to a service that mailed me snacks from a different country every month. It got monotonous because it turns out that the snacks you can mail internationally are pretty limited. Once I showed them to someone from that month's country and they said, "Yeah those are our snacks, if you shop for them in a gas station." I think that gas station groceries are a little like that.

@blp I'm from Portugal, have no US ancestry/background whatsoever, and while I don't eat it often, I do love peanut butter.

@tshirtman I have no idea how #dutch people feel about peanut butter

@blp there are some other hotspots, e.g. the Dutch eat a lot more peanut butter than all their neighbors

US and no thank you. Peanut butter cookies are not my favorite but ok. Peanut butter sandwiches? Nope.

@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!

@blp
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.
