As someone not allergic to peanuts, but who grew up in Europe, I was probably about 20 when I tried peanut butter for the first time. I agree with you, it's meh. Not terrible, not great.

Nutella, ovomaltine, pistachio or white chocolate spreads are much better. Never tried biscoff, sounds promising.

    I'm kinda the opposite of you. I'm American and grew up with peanut butter. I didn't try Nutella until my 20s, and while it was ok, I didn't think it was nearly as good as what people made it out to be.

    While I don't have peanut butter often nowadays, it's still one of my favorite things when added to sweets, like peanut butter cups or peanut butter fudge. Peanut butter + chocolate is a heavenly combo.

    Nah, creamy PB is better and I will fight you on that. Creamy PB is better for ants on a log, it's better on ice cream, it's better for dipping or making into sauces, it's better on sandwiches too. Thick layer of creamy PB, black raspberry jam, and some honey-wheat whole grain bread, and I'm in heaven.

    Crunchy PB is better at one thing and one thing only, and that is staying in the jar.

    The trick to peanut butter on toast is to butter the toast with cow butter first
