Correct me if I'm wrong, but peanut butter is generally not very common in Europe. It's usually in the "American food" section at European supermarkets.
One of Europe's many failures.
It's so simple. You roast peanuts, grind them, add salt to taste, bam, a rich, thick, tasty spread you can put on everything, or just eat with a spoon if you're terminally sad.
Europe: "how about some overly sweet hazelnut paste with chocolate added??!?"
Nutella is delicious and I will die on this hill
But it's not vegan
Hold up
It's ground hazelnuts and sugar
What the fuck is porky adding to it to make it not vegan, I hate capitalism goddamn
Milk powder. Also it's mostly palm oil, which is very destructively farmed.
I hate capitalism goddamn [2]
You can make your own pretty easily though!
Yeah it sucks, but it's very easy to make your own vegan variant
Nah also got to add a terminal amount of high fructose corn syrup
I'm sooo bitter that most stores near me don't carry actual real peanut butter, and the ones that do charge $9 a jar
Word. It's so silly. I used to live near a fancy hippy store that had a bin of roast peanuts and you'd pour as much as you wanted in to a grinder and it'd poop out fresh peanut butter. Never did it because it was kinda $$$ but i thought it was funny.
I used to know a guy who knew a food scientist and sometimes he'd show up at work and be like "my buddy had to make 20lbs of peanut butter for an experiment and he gave me the leftovers who wants some?" It was usually sooooo good.
They used to have these in regular grocery stores like A&P and Kroger. My mom used to use these exclusively since I was ADHD and wasnβt allowed anything with sugar or artificial color. It would have been fine except SHE KEPT THE PEANUT BUTTER IN THE FRIDGE π
Source: am old and remember when cigarettes were sold on a regular aisle.
Now what have I done that you come after me personally?
Edit:
It comes from a place of love. I have a jar of peanut butter on my bedroom table right now.
I'd say you're wrong because I've been able to find it in most supermarkets in the countries in Europe I've visited. And it's actual peanutbutter instead of peanutbutter + a bunch of sugar or weird supplements.
No I'm pretty sure my wide generalisation of an entire nations consumption habits is correct
tone clarifier
not trying to be dismissive. Trying to admit fault in a cheeky way.Itβs difficult and expensive to find ones that donβt contain palm oil.
Sure. Just itβs difficult and expensive. :)
Just checked my kitchen, the store brand peanut butter from German Aldis has around 9% of additives (sugar, palm oil and salt) and it's the only one they stock. This whole comment chain made me look up where to find 100% peanut butter and that ratio of additives unfortunately seems to be fairly common. There are brands that are 100% peanut, but for some reason these are almost exclusively sold in 1kg jars, i guess people who look for that are really into peanut butter. I mean, i am as well, and this stuff keeps good forever, so i may just go big next time i have to restock.
Neat! The one I bought in Germany was just peanuts and salt. Bought it in a Netto
