Call me mad, but you should try to put Nutella on on “toast” and peanutbutter (pindakas in dutch i guess) on another “toast” and build a sandwich with these. That tastes a bit like a candybar (i think it was Snickers or something) and is so damn unhealthy sweet.

By the way, my grandfather can´t even take the smell of peanutbutter, ´cause as a P.O.W. he had plenty of peanutbutter sandwiches. When i tried to eat some in his kitchen when i was younger, he kicked me out of it
Its true, german “real american” peanztbutter isnt the same at all, i tried american and dutch pindakas, they tasted much more “real” By now, im buying peanutbutter at walmart, the crunchy stuff, its all right.

Maybe you can´t get that stuff in germany because people doesn´t accept “gen-food” (denglish?)

The Butterfinger candybar weren´t really a big seller over here, too.

Im lovin´ Mountain Dew, but that crappy stuff im gettin on gas stations over here, semm to have another taste, also.

A country without Peanut Butter? What do mothers feed their children?! I didn’t realize that Peanut Butter was an American thing. You learn something new every day.

We have skippy in our grocery here as well, although the jars are a ridiculously small size (smaller than those small jars of nutella that come in the glasses you can later drink out of once they’ve been emptied and wash). I’m a creamy girl, however (although they do have both).

I am so happy that in Australia we are big fans of *both* peanut butter and nutella. Sadly, I cannot have Nutella in our house, as I am wont to eat it by the spoonful from the jar. I know, disgusting (but oh so very good!)

We have Josta berries in Connecticut, Jamie!

And Renee, I am so glad you enjoyed the first jar of peanut butter. Rest assured that I will be happy to bring you some whenever I come to Munich. I sure appreciated all the folks who brought it to me while I was living over there!
