    Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.

    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’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

    I’ve executed drone strikes in 3rd world countries for less than the absolute anger this post makes me feel

    I think we think it goes together because of Reese’s. Like we see it as some classic combo. Ill say I’ve tried the combo several other ways and it really only works when the peanut butter is extremely, extremely sweet.

    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.

    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.
