      Peanut butter is so good and I remain gobsmacked it hasn't conquered the world. What do you mean you don't want a rich savory spread full of protein and good plant fats that you can make anywhere with an oven and some kind of grinder?!?

      If I had cooking energy I've been thinking a lot about making peanutbutter with savory spices, especially cardamom for some reason.

          I can't honestly remember the taste very well either.

          And yeah I love that PB is so absurdly calorie dense. I have been "eat peanutbutter out of a jar with a spoon" depressed many times and it's very good when you're that badly off, but it's also good for just throwing in the back of a car when you need to drive for twenty hours and don't want to pay gas station food prices, or for sticking in the bottom of your backpack if you're going to be in the woods for a week and want emergency food that doesn't need to cook. And it's shelf stable, especially the store brands, and lasts forever.

          It's not the perfect food but it might be the perfect food.
