Wow, 100 votes in less than a hour. I don't think I've posted anything before that got that many votes total. I guess peanut butter is a hot-button issue here.

@blp Grew up in the US, *LOVE* peanut butter. Extra Crunchy.

@blp But my peanut butter comes from Argentina, so it's acceptable!

@blp Nonsense! I don't like peanut butter, but as far as I can tell, that makes me unusual. It's been a staple in the UK (including Scotland!) for at least as long as I've been alive.

@blp didn't grow up in the US, never had peanut butter

@blp my guess is that American peanut butter is more likely to have sugar in it than other places.

@blp Historically, peanut butter sandwiches got a *huge* boost in the 1930s-40s, as United States cities started providing school lunches and needed stuff that could be made in central kitchens and distributed without spoiling or cooling, and then as soldiers needed food that was easy to make and eat but still calorie-rich. So there's history behind the US peanut butter thing.

@blp I went to school with somebody from Bulgaria who tried peanut butter and liked it before she found out what it was. I’m told peanuts are just animal feed over there.

@blp Grew up in the US, only like the natural peanut butter that doesn't have sugar or palm oil.

@blp just wanted to clarify that while I do like peanut butter, American peanut butter is an abomination. The acceptable ingredients are peanuts and (preferably but not necessarily) salt.

@blp *waits for #dutch people to see the poll*

@latlondev@fosstodon.org 2026-02-12 22:11
@blp there are some other hotspots, e.g. the Dutch eat a lot more peanut butter than all their neighbors

@blp US and no thank you. Peanut butter cookies are not my favorite but ok. Peanut butter sandwiches? Nope.

@blp That's... An insane claim. 🤨 Maybe it's not a thing in Scotland, but lots of countries around the world like it. Mexico included. 🇲🇽

@blp when I was in high school, I was an exchange student in France. Before I left a bunch of people told me to make sure and take jars of peanut butter with me as a gift because they didn’t have it typically over there. It was a huge hit. I was astonished that every place didn’t have peanut butter.😂 I the other hand, discovered Nutella while I was over there which wasn’t easily available in the United States at the time. To me that was infinitely better than peanut butter!
