    There are virtually infinite things to shit on us Americans for, and most of them deservedly so. But this one ain’t it.

    Give me peanut butter and chocolate or give me death.

    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.

      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?

    Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.

    Deep-fried Reese’s cups. You know you want it. You want to dip them in strawberry jam, and top them with whipped cream, and a chocolate sauce drizzle. It’s okay, we won’t judge you.

    You also want chocolate-coated grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with mint chocolate-chip ice cream. Just… try it. We won’t watch. Just the one time.

    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.

    Peanut butter is an abomination and against the scriptures and an insult to God. Change my atheist mind.

    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.

      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.
