Oh they are! Tacos is their name, brick is their taste. Be proud of mexican-american tacos, they are the real deal.

Peanut butter is just non-existent because there are an amazingly huge number of jams, marmelades, local honeys. Ok this is theory and what people tell you. In fact, everyone is just totally addicted to Nutella. The one and only.

That’s interesting - those are all sweet. Most peanut butters (except natural) are slightly sweetened, but are often used as the savory counterpart to jams, jellies, and/or honey. I’ve (an American) only ever had Nutella on whitebread or added into a dessert.

Yes those are all sweet. And it goes with the french(continental) breakfast which is awfully saturated in sugar (for kids mostly): chocolate milk, bread with jam/Nutella, orange juice, viennoiseries, even biscuits. Same for the "goûter", 4pm meal for kids. A lot of sugar...

Imagine that: there were riots in supermarkets because of a huge discount on Nutella, a few years ago. (try "émeutes Nutella" on youtube)

That's just a normal American Black Friday at Walmart minus the guns and boxing fights.

Nutella is great chocolate, hazelnut, and palm oil, but peanut butter (peanuts) has its own umami that adds something other than desert. Peanuts in pad thai, for example. How can you have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups without peanut butter? Blasphemy! Or Snickers, the vaguely almost food, emergency post-workout energy bar? Don't even touch my Peanut M&M's unless you want to lose a hand or an arm.

Anything tastes better than crisp bread or lutefisk.

Or Speculoos!

US Walmart carries the real stuff but Canadian Walmart doesn’t. Can’t cross the border and I refuse to pay the extortionist Amazon.Ça prices...

[carpedimebagjoe]

Nearly every store around here in the US caries Nutella. Costco has enormous multipacks: 1890 g for 11.30 € (167 g / €).

the President's Choice stores seem to carry the good stuff!! :)

Haven’t found the Lotus/Biscoff stuff there. Everything else isn’t the same!
