BECAUSE, it’s delicious and filling and good and perfect, or more accurately because most of us ate it a lot as children, and it’s very cheap. Though, i am not sure how good it would be on something delicate like crepes. Peanut butter belongs on toast or english muffins with honey. It belongs between slices of cheap preservative-filled bread. It belongs on spoons and in cookies. American peanut butter (things like jif) is also usually full of a bunch of sugar and nonsense that makes it a very different food from natural peanut butter. One is a much higher quality product than the other, and the texture is not at all the same. I think most people eat the processed kind, but if you want to make nice things like crepes or quality recipes, the natural kind (which is basically a different food) might taste a lot better to you.
Does it taste like bitter cardboard? I read somewhere on this thread that it is supposed to be salty....
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.
