Peanut butter

Peanut butter is great! In cookies, with jelly on bread, on a piece of chocolate....

i can't believe they don't know about peanut butter & jelly sandwiches in england...

I think peanut butter is far more of an American than British delicacy. For this we no doubt have to thank George Washington Carver...

We have peanut butter in Germany now, too. But it is not at all as common as in the US. We prefer Nutella :-)

But I do love peanut butter & jelly sandwiches - I tried them in the US years and years ago. I found them very exotic at that time.

MMM, I was inspired by this thread to go home and have a pb&j for lunch!

What about peanut butter pie - yummy!

First, what is Nutella? And second, pb&j, exotic? I think that's funny considering it's a staple for American kids.

What about peanut butter and fluff? I used to love that.

WHAT IS NUTELLA?!?! Honey, you haven't lived yet! Nutella is a hazelnut cream that melts all problems and obstacles away instantly. Nutella is a dream you can taste, is a completion of your inner self, is a deep breath of calmness....

uhmmm

back to work...

Very well put, dagmaraka!

Bella Dea, Nutella is that staple for German kids.

Linkat, fluff? Is that that strange white or pink stuff?

Yeah - it comes in pink or white - basically it is marshmallow - I believe only one company makes it and sells it only regionally so that many places in the US do not even know about it.

Marshmallow Fluff is still produced by the same batch process developed over 75 years ago - it's the only marshmallow creme made in this manner. It's what makes Durkee-Mower's product so fluffy, white, and smooth; it's what makes the difference. Because Marshmallow Fluff is made only with the finest ingredients under the most demanding sanitary conditions, it requires no artificial preservatives.

I guess I was wrong - you can buy fluff in much more areas than I thought "… Business continues to expand with the recent growth of our young school-aged population wishing to enjoy Fluff the same way their parents and grandparents did before them. Additionally, fluff is now enjoyed in Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Holland, Israel, south Africa, Belgium, and the UAE. Although Fluff enjoys wide distribution in the United States, there are still a few places where we are not located. If you happen to live in such a place, or cannot find Fluff locally, it may be ordered directly from our factory using the Order Form located in this site."

Don't like Hazelnut so I don't suppose I would like Nutella.

Bella, do you like chocolate?

<shields self from violence of agreement>

Then you'll like Nutella.

Trust me.

Yes, but am lactose intolerant.

Ohhh.

Bummer.

Did Kicky ever report on his lactaid experiment?

This has got to have less milk than ice cream, and if you can risk ice cream occasionally, you MUST try Nutella sometime.

Yes, I could probably try it. I risk ice cream with about 4 pills and usually end up with minor discomfort (for both me and hubby)

I really only like all natural peanut butter. Just peanuts and salt, nothing else. Can't stand the big national brands - full of sugar.

Nutella is good, but it's awfully sweet. I suspect the european version isn't as sweet.
