Peanut Butter: Crunchy or Smooth?

[IdleRich]

Peanut butter has to be crunchy, put on top of loads of butter and normally I put Tabasco sauce on top.
What about the marmite peanut butter thing? Don't think you can buy it here but every time someone comes from UK its the first thing I ask them to bring.

You put peanut butter on top of butter??

my brother lives in america and his family eat peanut butter by the bucket load. except, it's not exactly peanut butter. the american version is a weird substance that ought to be the same but somehow isn't. very off-putting.

Correct

 

[luka]

Yes. It makes it ten times nicer. A thousand times. You absolutely have to have butter underneath. It's mandatory.

Wait what

what about with jam, like a PB&J, do you guys do that? if you guys don't have PB&Js, then I've been sold a pack of lies about "globalization" and "monoculture"

Padraig was talking about the America version being mixed with motor oil and corn syrup

No, we've seen them on tv but we don't eat it and would never eat it under any circumstances

 

[sus]

"That's different. I don't like... the difference. Oily and lingering... not good."

 

[luka]

That family look unhealthy. Out of focus faces. Too much corn syrup probably

 

[sus]

American peanut butter is already so smooth and sweet and buttery, you could eat it off a spoon, maybe that explains the difference

 

[luka]

Yes, that makes sense

I'm aware of this admixture but I do not eat it.

Marmite seems to be a taste that is too conplex and sophisticated for non-UK types

 

[sus]

that's the one that tastes like a chemical spill?

I'll have to pack some PB&Js in paper napkins this weekend before I board my flight for Londy to see Luka... Luka do you prefer raspberry, apricot, or boysenberry jam? I've been told you may call these products "conserves."

 

[luka]

I like blackcurrant I think. And I like raspberry. We usually call them jam. Conserve might be a French term?

My mum bought me a tub of marmite mixed with peanut butter. I liked it. It's basically just an insanely salty peanut butter isn't it.

having a raspberry PB&J on a Dutch Baby as we speak

Very dainty seductive foot. Almost feminine. Lovely.
