As someone not allergic to peanuts, but who grew up in Europe, I was probably about 20 when I tried peanut butter for the first time. I agree with you, it’s meh. Not terrible, not great.
Nutella, ovomaltine, pistachio or white chocolate spreads are much better. Never tried biscoff, sounds promising.
Wait just a minute! You’re comparing sugary spreads to our peanut butter? Imma remember this next time somebody from Europe gives us shit about sugar in our sandwich bread.
Nah, creamy PB is better and I will fight you on that. Creamy PB is better for ants on a log, it’s better on ice cream, it’s better for dipping or making into sauces, it’s better on sandwiches too. Thick layer of creamy PB, black raspberry jam, and some honey-wheat whole grain bread, and I’m in heaven.
Crunchy PB is better at one thing and one thing only, and that is staying in the jar.
I’m kinda the opposite of you. I’m American and grew up with peanut butter. I didn’t try Nutella until my 20s, and while it was ok, I didn’t think it was nearly as good as what people made it out to be.
While I don’t have peanut butter often nowadays, it’s still one of my favorite things when added to sweets, like peanut butter cups or peanut butter fudge. Peanut butter + chocolate is a heavenly combo.
Biscoff butter is great. Absolutely horrendously unhealthy IIRC, but tastes great.
Also, there are so many chocolate spreads out there that are a hundred times better than Nutella nowadays, don’t sell your palate short!

I also included pistachio spread.
nutella and biscoff pretty sugary from what ive tasted. peanut butter is better when its the crunchy version.

Yeah, might be a different category, but even for savory spreads I prefer a cream cheese, alioli, sobrasada or paprykarz.

It certainly has a nostalgia component

I buy ovomaltine, it has little crunchy bits and a nice aroma.
The trick to peanut butter on toast is to butter the toast with cow butter first
Can I use milk butter instead?
Yes, but not butter milk
Also, depends what the milk is made of
Also the trick to extra good PB&J
