I suspect a decent amount of the European disdain for peanut butter comes from the majority of it being god-awful here, with decent quantities of sugar, palm oil, and salt added in. Until recently it was very difficult to find "pure" peanut butter (at least in Spain and Portugal).
- UncleSlacky 6y agoWe just make our own, it's cheaper and no added crap.
- carpedimebagjoe 6y agoYeap. In the US, there's been commercial of natural kinds and grocery store PB peanut grinders for decades. Could grind it at home too. My grandparents used to make their own beef hamburger from sirloin beef and trimmings because the junk in regular hamburger, even from an excellent Italian-American supermarket's butcher counter, was disgusting, to say the least.
- sanedigital 6y agoRight, but if your only exposure to the stuff has been the super market crap, why would you think to make your own?
