My Conclusion: creamy peanut butter is better than chunky

Red said:
Compliments has a peanut butter that is 100% peanuts. I buy it. Love it.

Never heard of Marmite, but there is a British store here. I will have to drop in there and see if they carry it.

They will most likely carry it.

I buy a peanut butter that is purely peanuts, oil and salt. No sweeteners of any kind.
 

Red, could you tell me roughly where the British shop is in Toronto? I'd like to visit it sometime as I live in uptown TO.

It's better that way. I just tell everyone when they're laughing at me, I'm not going to mess around with the bread. I'm going straight to the good stuff!!!! I'm glad to know I'm not by myself!

Hi Cookie, it is in the Tomken Plaza at the corner of Rathburn Road East and Tomken in Mississauga. They also have stuff from Scotland and ireland.

Probably shortbread, tablet, haggis, Baxters soups? FYI Scotland is also British. :)

Silly me Ameriscot, I should have thought about what I was saying, being as my mum is from Glasgow. :love_heart:

Is she? When did she emigrate? My husband was raised in Glasgow. It's very common for people outside of the UK to equate British as English only. :)
 
"They will most likely carry it. "

Don't bank on it. I know there were moves afoot to raise the ban in Canada, but I'm not sure if they succeeded.

The reason for the ban is an additive, which is banned in Canada (and Denmark, though I;m not sure how they manage that as mebers of the EU).

For the interest of our American friends, Marmite has actually entered British English as a comparison idiom.

If something is a Marmite experience then you love it or hate it, no middle ground.

Margaret Thatcher was, and still is, referred to as a Marmite politician.

(For the record I thought she was the best Prime Minister since Pitt the Younger!)

My mom and two brothers came to Canada when she was 16. Another brother went to Australia. One sister stayed in Scotland. She had a thyroid problem and she was over 600 lbs and couldn't get out of bed. She died in bed reading a book.

No way to control her thyroid? How sad.

My dh had a great uncle emigrate to Massachusetts from Ireland, the other moved to Scotland and married a highland girl (hub's grandparents). One of hubby's brother moved to Australia back in the 70's.
 
I used to love Skippy, Jif, Peter Pan when I lived in the US. Last time I tasted one of them I didn't like it. Too sweet and oily which is a weird thing for me to say I dislike! I guess I've just become used to mine with no sweeteners at all.
 
P & J and P and Marmie is yummy as is peanut butter and banana sandwich, I've also love had peanut butter and apple slices sandwiches or PNB & celery. Delish.
 
While we're on the subject of Nuts... I for one couldn't stand Thatcher, I remember very well the day she became prime minister and I had the most horrible feeling of dread in the Pit of my stomach. History proves that I was right... one of the most despicable of British leaders.

Anyway just thought I'd mention it...but better get this back on topic...(oops sorry for the unintended pun).. :p
 
She called Nelson Mandela a terrorist! She was a racist who accepted Apartheid. She broke the Miner's Union. She viciously ridiculed members of her own government, and ignored her own daughter because she disliked females. She was a brilliant sociopath.
