Peanut butter.... why? (beehaw.org)

Today I made crêpes for breakfast like I usually do....

And I tried some smooth peanut butter inside one of them. It doesn't taste horrible, but after a bit of eating it, I felt like I was in the 3rd circle of hell.

I asked my mother and my grandma for an opinion, and they too agreed.

Why do Americans torture themselves like this?

Yep, when I compare the nutrition labels for the peanut butter I get from the local grocery store to Jif or Skippy (american brands), it has less fat and sugar per 100g. Dunno where you are, but I think that's probably it!

I don't think something bitter and something sweet mix well. If you add too much sugar to mask the awfulness of it, then it's not really peanut-butter anymore but just sugar and some peanuts.

Peanut butter shouldn’t be bitter. It kind of sounds like your peanut butter may be old or rancid. Or the peanuts themselves that made the peanut butter were rancid.

if it went rancid in ONE day I will be very confused
