Peanut butter.
Peanut butter? It doesn't sound too appealing, but it is. Peanut butter is truly one thing I could never live without. There is so many ways to eat it, and I admit Americans have some weird ideas about what is eatable and what is not, but when it comes to combining peanut butter with another ingredient - they know something we don't.
First of all there is the simplest way to eat peanut butter; Take a spoon, open the jar, stick the spoon in it and put it in your mouth. That is pretty much it. It can though, be too much for some people, but a true peanut butter lover - loves this.
One of my personal favorites is cutting a banana into pieces and then eat it with peanut butter. Why is this good? First of all you get moist to what can feel like a sticky blob of peanut butter, and second of all it's great. Other variation is with an apple (very recommendable too). Once I tried with a nectarine - but it wasn't very good. I'm sure others have more ideas, but these are defiantly what I would choose to pare my peanut butter with.
My all-time favorite combination is the reese cup. Never would I have thought a spoonful of peanut butter with a thin cover of chocolate around it would be this...delicious. But it truly is. A reese cup don't sound to be something extraordinary, something extremely fancy or even an eatable subject. At first I didn't dare tasting it - although I liked peanut butter I would never "just" eat it , but I thought to myself; "Hey, this can't be to shady, these American people eat it all the time..." so I took a bite, and since then I been in love with them.
Opening this little orange package, taking out the oversized capsule shaped chocolate piece filled with creamy peanut butter can make any day turn a little better. And if you aren't in the mood for this much peanut butter - reese pieces is a great alternative. They're like M&M's - but with peanut butter. Fantastic.
Many more words could be said about peanut butter, but to truly understand the love behind it all - you have to feel the love.
So go grab a spoon and get going on a lifelong obsession.
