I dunno about that, but I do know Reeses cups taste bad. Too much sweet and salty.
This is truly a shitpost. That man is wrong and should feel bad for ever having uttered that nonsense.
I don’t want to upvote anyone and want to downvote everyone.
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
Europeans don’t eat peanuts? Or chocolate?
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.
Eastern US checking in. Three cheers for pickled herring! Can’t get enough!
L + ratio
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.
Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.
as Katt Williams would say: god made that
It’s okay. I prefer dark chocolate with peanut butter rather than milk, but Reese’s gonna reese.
Or even better:
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
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.
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”.
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
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?
…. 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.
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.
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?
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.
No, I cant
I get that the connotation is Americans are people from the USA but it does erase some of the identity of the rest of the Americas.
All I was saying was it’s not surprising that the person from the Americas enjoys a combination of flavors distinctly from the Americas.
Peanuts and Cocoa are distinctly American, South American to be precise.
Yeah because when I’m aboard ppl always assume I’m Canadian or from Honduras when I say I’m American
I’m not arguing the colloquial use of the term “American” here.
