Today I made crêpes for breakfast like I usually do…

And I tried some smooth peanut butter inside one of them. It doesn’t taste horrible, but after a bit of eating it, I felt like I was in the 3rd circle of hell.

I asked my mother and my grandma for an opinion, and they too agreed.

Why do Americans torture themselves like this?

Yep, when I compare the nutrition labels for the peanut butter I get from the local grocery store to Jif or Skippy (american brands), it has less fat and sugar per 100g. Dunno where you are, but I think that’s probably it!

I don’t think something bitter and something sweet mix well. If you add too much sugar to mask the awfulness of it, then it’s not really peanut-butter anymore but just sugar and some peanuts.

Bitter? Hmm I’m pretty sensitive to bitter tastes, but I wouldn’t call peanut butter bitter 🤔 it’s only bitter to me if the peanuts were roasted too much or the oil has gone rancid. Are you sure the peanut butter was still alright?? It should really just taste like smooth, oily peanut.

I think any nut butter is nice with or without sugar, but yeah, with sugar I’d call it something like peanut spread, not butter.
