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?

I have tea with peanut butter (Skippy/Jif) & jam (black currant) sandwiches most days of the week for breakfast.

Depends on the kind you get. 100% natural tastes very "plain" as it's just peanuts (the only ingredient). Personally, it's a bit too plain for my taste. But as others have said, unless you really enjoy peanut butter, you should watch how much you put on delicate types of foods. Get a slice of bread, a thin spread of peanut butter, jam if it's your sort of thing, and a nice cup of tea. Delightful.

100 percent natural is the best, and it's not bitter at all. Or cardboardy.

I agree with not bitter/cardboard. It tastes exactly like... plain peanuts. Or at least it should if it's natural.
