Yeah yeah I know you guys invented it but modern american peanut butter isn't even peanut butter. That shit just tastes like icing sugar holy shit. It's fine in something small and chocolatey like a reeses cup but I can't eat that shit in a sandwich without feeling sick.
It's supposed to be a savory spread of mashed peanuts in oil and salt, it's not fucking cake frosting
If you can afford it, the higher quality organic stuff doesn’t add sugar. Same goes for cashew butter and almond butter.
I use it sparingly because of cost, but the occasional nut butter and jam I do get to have is absolutely divine.
To use an analogy, you are criticizing all American beer using bud lite as the benchmark.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the European cheapest possible no quality control brand is better than the American equivalent, but that’s hardly fair considering you have a functional government and ours allows rat shit greater than zero per gram.
I tried organic once and the texture was too grainy. I wonder if they make nice smooth stuff that just isn't sweet as all hell.
Trader Joe's has a smooth and creamy one that's not too bad
I mix the organic with the fake stuff to retain the peanutty flavor of the natural stuff while adding creaminess from the hydrogenated oil kind
I’ve never had the chance to try grainy, never considered it to be honest. As such I won’t comment on it other than that the notion of a new of trying a new a thing would be pleasing. It’d have to be large grains to notice in a Sando though.
fuckin love almond butter. too bad its so water intensive
