    Peanut butter is going too far but american fucking cheese is fine? I don’t even wanna know what they put in that shit to make you call want to eat it so much.

    Peanut butter is used in noodles and asian cooking plenty and it’s great.

      Well, we’re talking about ramen or other similar soup packets. Both are abominations for that IMO.

      American cheese has it’s place when you need it to melt into things. A base for other cheeses to be added but not the sole flavor.

      Peanut butter? I’ll just eat that shit out the jar. Won’t be without a jar in my house.

        Interestingly enough, I spent a summer interning in France. I got homesick and was craving peanut butter, looked for it at the store, learned the word - they had no idea what I was talking about. Showed them it written down and a picture and everything

        My host family told me you could find it in the international isle, but looked at me weird… They said they only ate it as a high calorie snack when they went skiing

        My point is, even though I’m constantly disappointed by even “fancy” wine and cheese a decade later, a spoon full of peanut butter is a fantastic way to shut down hunger pangs for a few hours.

        Honestly, it’s better without bread or toast - that’s just empty carbs anyways. I started getting coconut flakes to sprinkle on top… It’s an easy way to class it up without adding calories or effort… It’s basically a no-bake protein cookie at that point

        Again, peanut butter is used plenty in noodles and noodle soups and it works great. Each to their own though. Just saying. Abomination is literally exaggering it. Literally learned to use peanut butter with noodles from Asian people.

          For sure,Peanut butter is just a cheap way to do satay noodles/chicken/etc. (rather than proper satay sauce)
