You can find giant jars of it in the Western African neighborhoods. I'm not even french and I also don't like it but my nephews will eat platefuls. And they are also French, the brown kind.
- carpedimebagjoe 6y agoAh cool. They know what's good. :-) I actually never liked PB&J (peanut butter and jelly) sandwiches, only PB sandwiches. My grandmother would buy the pure kind that had to have the peanut oil stirred back in. https://www.laurascudderspeanutbutter.com https://www.laurascudderspeanutbutter.com (that domain name is not long enough) Many healthy and luxury grocery stores have coffee-type grinders for making your own fresh peanut butter directly from bulk peanuts. I don't eat PB these days because it's a million calories, only a few unsalted roasted peanuts for a snack rarely. Some deserts have peanuts in them but not usually very much.
- simonh 6y agoI’m not a fan of PB&J, but drizzle maple syrup on toast and cover in Sun-Pat and it’s irresistible.
- carpedimebagjoe 6y agoOooh! French toast (pain perdu) with real maple syrup is good too. The other thing I make is to prepare two whole slices of French toast to make a French toast grilled cheese sandwich. 2-3 kinds of good cheeses and it's perfect brunch food.
