Which tastes better? Crunchy peanut butter or creamy peanut butter?
And for you, UKers & Aussies? How come you don't eat it?
I have to vote for crunchy. But in a pinch, I'll eat creamy right from the jar.

Every time peanut butter has come up in this forum, Brits wrote that they couldn't understand the American fascination with peanut butter, and they never ate it. :unsure:
So Aussies like peanut butter. :)

Eh? Brits never eat peanut butter? Where did you get that from Fuzzy? The Brits definitely eat it as well as cook with it. ;)

My daughter loves the stuff since being a nipper, although can't remember if it's the crunchy or creamy version.
I don't like peanuts, so don't eat it - but LOVE the almond butter one, creamy not the crunchy. When I do buy it, which is infrequently now, I eat a spoonful straight from the jar, don't like it spread on anything :giggle:
 
I like both creamy and chunky but usually buy the creamy because it's more versatile.

I used to eat the natural kind for years but I got tired of refrigerating it, and it being hard and hard to stir.

I moved to Skippy with less salt and sugar, the creamy version. But that got harder to find.

I tried Jif which has a low-salt version. I bought a lot of that. Then there was a recall of it within the last year or two. Skippy also had a recall.

I got tired of the peanut butter recalls (there were a bunch in the last couple years), so I gave up on it. I've been eyeing a nut blend of 7 nuts and seeds called Nuttzo that looks good. Expensive but maybe no recalls?

fuzzybuddy: I have been eating peanut butter ever since I was a young girl in school. We never had it at home until I asked one of my school friends what was she eating, and she told me 'Peanut butter' I did like the smell of it and immediately told my mother. She bought a small jar of it, smooth, if I remember correctly and fed my sons with it in their growing years. I do buy the crunchy variety as well..:giggle:🇦🇺👍

Smooth, though will buy crunchy if that’s the only option. I will only buy natural - no sugar, no salt, absolutely nothing added. It is a pain having to stir it. Worth it though.

I'm with you-- just ground up peanuts (although I like it with some salt). I used to buy it from a natural foods store that had a grinder. You could simply turn on the machine to fill up your container and pay, minus the tare weight. They used freeze dried peanuts though.

I buy it in jars. Then, like you I ladle the "butter" out into a bowl, then stir it up. I use half and half creamy and crunchy. Eating it with apples is one of my favorite meals.
