This is truly a shitpost. That man is wrong and should feel bad for ever having uttered that nonsense.

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.

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
FishFace@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Europeans don’t eat peanuts? Or chocolate?
rockstarmode@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Why not have both? I’ve lived in the western US my entire life, but I think pickled herring is delicious, and I made rillettes (which is like a pate) just the other day.
VicVinegar@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Eastern US checking in. Three cheers for pickled herring! Can’t get enough!

Real. Peanut butter in general is so ass. Basically every other nut butter is superior yet Americans love to shove that gross, musty shite into everything.
Ibaudia@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.

It’s okay. I prefer dark chocolate with peanut butter rather than milk, but Reese’s gonna reese.

Yes, though they aren’t usually available at the concession booth in that format. Trader Joe’s has a nice basket of DC cups.

Pineapple on pizza
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ham and pineapple complement one another with saltiness and sweetness. One amplifies the flavor of the other.
If you put canadian bacon next to the pineapple, its delicious. Also, really important to have pineapple that’s not super fibrious in a mixed dish.
dmasterp@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah but… Reese peanut butter cups 😍

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”.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
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 thought I knew what a bad taco was before that episode. They proved me wrong.

I’ve executed drone strikes in 3rd world countries for less than the absolute anger this post makes me feel
redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah, but you execute drone strikes in 3rd world countries all the time, CIA_chatbot, how can we tell when you’re doing it out of genuine anger?
CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 5 months ago
…. You know, that’s a good point.

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.
BanMe@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
psycotica0@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Woah Woah Woah. I’m Canadian and peanut butter and chocolate is also a thing here. Peanut butter may be my favourite thing. Why am I catching strays?
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Canada is part of America, just not the USA.
Peanuts and Cocoa are distinctly American, if you can distance applying the term American just to the USA.
Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah because when I’m aboard ppl always assume I’m Canadian or from Honduras when I say I’m American

I don’t like this food.
Ok, there’s lots of stuff I don’t like. Why not grab a Snickers?
It’s an abomination!
Whoa there, it’s just a Reese’s cup…

Peanut butter is an abomination. Change my mind.
D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
A gazillion years ago I was in a shop that had an american aisle, so I bought some some american chocolate that had peanut butter in it. Reese’s, I think?
Anyways it tasted slightly like chalky chocolate vomit with peanut butter on it.
I thought I’d got a bad batch so the next time I saw some I got something from Hershey’s. Again, chocolate vomit.
Never had any of that shit since.Cadbury’s in the UK have been adding extra things to their chocolate bars for years now. My cynical brain tells me it’s to mask the fact that they’ve changed things and lowered the quality of their products.
When did this happen? A few years after it was sold to Kraft, an american ‘food’ company…AA5B@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Hersheys has always been horrible but we never had any choices when I was growing up. We have much better options now and I haven’t voluntarily had Hersheys in a couple decades.
However I object to Your criticism of Reese’s. It’s fair to say it’s not quality chocolate, fair to say the filling isn’t really peanut butter, fair to say it’s ungodly sweet, but chalky? Yes, I love it: why?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 months ago
American regular grocery store brands of chocolate are horrible. Hershey’s and all the rest. Of course it’s the cheapest ingredients drowned in sugar to cover the otherwise poor taste. Cadbury’s now tastes waxy to me. Used to be pretty good. All in the name of profit.
Aldi in the US actually has really decent chocolate, their Choceur label for milk chocolate is quite good. Good luck finding it, I think the tariffs killed the availability, haven’t seen any for weeks.
BlueAure@infosec.pub 5 months ago
The common explanation is that Hershey’s chocolate contains some amount of butyric acid which tastes/smells like vomit. Adam Ragusea on YT did a pretty solid video on it.
Why Hershey bars taste like vomit (and I love them)
Not all US chocolate tastes like Hershey.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I thik a lot of the US stuff are things you have to grow with. If you taste them once you’re an adult, you see them for what they are and they’ll never work for you. Reese and Oreo being the obvious examples for me.
Honytawk@feddit.nl 5 months ago
Chocolate and jelly sandwiches are much better than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches though. Fight me.
ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Explain… what chocolate is spread on bread? Or do you simply mean hard chocolate sandwiched in the middle?
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Chocolate spread, like Nutella.
It is basically fruit and chocolate taste, with tons of sugar.

I do partake but it’s not for the faint of heart.

The same idiots that say this are the ones who think Nutella is some transcendental ambrosia even though it’s more palm oil than either hazelnuts or cocoa.

AA5B@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Thank you. People love it or hate it but don’t seem to understand it’s just bland palm oil. I want to like it. I’m their core demographic in many ways but there’s not enough flavor to like or dislike, and why would I eat palm oil?
ynthrepic@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nutella mixed with the cheapest American peanut butter is heaven. Thank you globalisation.

To whom it may concern:
Please be advised that your meme will be slathered with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with melted chocolate. Afterwards, you may immediately go and pound sand.
Should you decide to spread this misinformation further, we will be forced to place a bounty on you. When you are captured, you will be taken to Hershey Park and doused with Hershey’s chocolate syrup in front of many peanut butter & chocolate lovers.
For good measure, the public will be armed with crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in milk chocolate if you attempt to escape (dark chocolate covered peanut butter balls sold separately).
Sincerely,
The American Committee for Chocolate & Peanut Butter Advancement
and
The Reese’s Foundation

Barbarism! Coating the villain in Hershey’s. You are an animal, not fit to live among civilized men!
Maybe some dark chocolate?

Dark chocolate sold separately, my friend.

I dunno about that, but I do know Reeses cups taste bad. Too much sweet and salty.
