Funny; I have a Polish friend who lives in France and LOVES peanut butter. When she travels to the US she always maxes out her luggage weight with peanut butter on the return trip. I'm sure there are outliers everywhere.
An Italian friend said his mom would say "who puts peanuts on bread?", but she'd slather hazelnuts and chocolate (Nutella) on bread all day long. I think it's just what people get used to.
- morsch 5y agoIn France and Germany the per capita consumption is about 1 kg, in the US it's about 4 pounds. So twice as much. Not as big a difference as I'd have expected going by this thread. If the sources and my interpretation of them are correct, anyway. Fwiw it's available in every supermarket in Germany and for me it's a pantry staple. https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery/chart-detail/?chartId=78829 https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery... https://www.globaltrademag.com/the-european-peanut-butter-market-dropped-to-1-4b-losing-previous-growth-momentum/ https://www.globaltrademag.com/the-european-peanut-butter-ma...
