I laugh my ass off when every few years someone combines peanuts and jelly on the Great British Bake-off and literally every single time all the other British people are like “wow, you have invented literally a brand new innovative and delicious cuisine”.
There was an episode I remember where they explored Mexican cuisine and a contestant said ‘Gacky-molo’ for ‘Guacamole’ and that has stuck with me since.
I thought I knew what a bad taco was before that episode. They proved me wrong.
Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.
as Katt Williams would say: god made that
You shut your dirty whore mouth
Exactly the kind of lively discussion I was hoping for!
Well, that’s that. Close the thread
Agreed. Close thread.
Happy cake day!
Oh for real? I’ve always rolled my eyes at such a thing, but :-)
Hang on a minute, baby, someone is wrong on the internet.
Same types of people think pineapple don’t belong on pizza. Fucked in the head is what I call em.
There are virtually infinite things to shit on us Americans for, and most of them deservedly so. But this one ain’t it.
Give me peanut butter and chocolate or give me death.
gives you peanut butter and chocolate
That being said, this regeme might still give you death if you happen to be too brown.
peanut butter brown
or
chocolate brown
?Peanut butter brown is an African American with jaundice. So yeah - still too brown for current administration

I was going to comment exactly this, except I’m not American
Isn’t that the same? If you’re eating peanut butter and chocolate together frequently, you’re probably not long for this world…
and banana!
I’ll assume this is a very European take, and point out that Europeans don’t even ever eat peanuts or peanut butter anyways as it was written off as colonist fodder unfit for their ‘queenly’ pallette. They also don’t like corn, which has the juice, so like yea man we know their tastes are stuck in like the 18th century. Go on darling, have your fermented herring and duck pate 😬 we’ll continue actually using the spices and flavors from the new world
Europeans don’t eat peanuts? Or chocolate?
Why not have both? I’ve lived in the western US my entire life, but I think pickled herring is delicious, and I made rillettes (which is like a pate) just the other day.
Eastern US checking in. Three cheers for pickled herring! Can’t get enough!
I’ll make it even better! Chocolate, peanut butter, and a sprinkle of salt
Sub the salt for a thick piece of crispy bacon. Thank me later.
I’ve executed drone strikes in 3rd world countries for less than the absolute anger this post makes me feel
Yeah, but you execute drone strikes in 3rd world countries all the time, CIA_chatbot, how can we tell when you’re doing it out of genuine anger?
…. You know, that’s a good point.
Gotta up the drone strikes to set a spectrum. More strikes is more serious.
I don’t want to upvote anyone and want to downvote everyone.
Whoever wrote this is wrong and they know it.
I don’t like this food.
Ok, there’s lots of stuff I don’t like. Why not grab a Snickers?
It’s an abomination!
Whoa there, it’s just a Reese’s cup…
phillistine depravity!!
Look, that’s excessive, isn’t it? And there’s only one L in phi-
AMERICA BAD!!!
Calm down, psycho! Holy shit touch grass!
Yeah but… Reese peanut butter cups 😍
The same idiots that say this are the ones who think Nutella is some transcendental ambrosia even though it’s more palm oil than either hazelnuts or cocoa.
Sometimes the greatest sins can become part of our most beloved miracles
Nutella mixed with the cheapest American peanut butter is heaven. Thank you globalisation.
Thank you. People love it or hate it but don’t seem to understand it’s just bland palm oil. I want to like it. I’m their core demographic in many ways but there’s not enough flavor to like or dislike, and why would I eat palm oil?
Woah Woah Woah. I’m Canadian and peanut butter and chocolate is also a thing here. Peanut butter may be my favourite thing. Why am I catching strays?
Canada is part of America, just not the USA.
Peanuts and Cocoa are distinctly (South) American, if you can distance applying the term American just to the USA.
Yeah because when I’m aboard ppl always assume I’m Canadian or from Honduras when I say I’m American
I’m not arguing the colloquial use of the term “American” here.
No, I cant
I get that the connotation is Americans are people from the USA but it does erase some of the identity of the rest of the Americas.
All I was saying was it’s not surprising that the person from the Americas enjoys a combination of flavors distinctly from the Americas.
Peanuts and Cocoa are distinctly American, South American to be precise.
When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.
A bar of Hershey’s, you can really taste the butyric acid that forms during their unique process. In a Reece’s cup, the high sugar content of the filling (it’s not really even peanut butter) overpowers it. I actually like Reece’s but Hershey’s is a last resort chocolate.
