minus-squaretrem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoWell, whenever I’ve talked about this in the past, there was always someone who asked “You put (sweet) peanut butter into your savory food?!”. Wikipedia also says that it commonly contains sweeteners: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter But yeah, not sure if that’s maybe specifically a thing in the US. They do love to put sugar into everything and I just came across this article, which mentions that when PB&Js became popular in the US, sugar was still seen as good: https://www.thetakeout.com/why-americans-love-peanut-butter-best-vs-rest-of-world-1850648598/
minus-squaredubyakay@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·20 hours agoInteresting. When I’ve tried pb&j for the first time (during the aughts), I thought regular peanutbutter complemented ham (or marmalade) really well already. Maybe even better with some salt. Mixing sweet with more sweet is a very kids thing to do.
