All I have to say is WTF. So apparently the Germans don't seem to understand the concept of peanut butter very well. Of all the fattening food that they eat, you think they would have discovered the joy that is peanut butter. Most grocery stores don't carry it, and if they do, it's most likely in the organic section for whatever reason. Maybe they think that only crazy hippies would be interested in consuming a product that has taken an already tasty roasted peanut mashed it into glorious splendor.
Anyway, I only bothered to write about this since I got a really bad craving for PB&J last Thursday that couldn't be satiated. Nevertheless, I finally found some PB by accident (next to the Almond Butter, eww) in the BioMarkt in der Hauptbahnhof on Saturday night. I also found some 70% dark chocolate complete with chili pepper infusion, which has become one of my new loves. So when I got back to the apartment I was really excited for my PB&J + chocolate find. However to my dismay, this peanut butter was blech. I mean it was still peanuty and decent enough when combined with the jelly, but on its own, it was not at all the amazing I had hoped for. Granted, it probably had a lot to do with the fact that it was natural organic peanut butter, but still very sad. I guess I will just have to ask my mom to send me monthly shipments, alternating between Regular Jif Creamy and Regular Jif Extra Crunchy. Or if you love me, you will send me some PB. I am feeling the desperation already, so I would settle for Peter Pan, Skippy, or even Goobers at this point.

Aww, the world does not understand the American love of peanut butter - I paid roughly $4 for a container of it that was about the size of those candles we got a formal, which is depressing. (hug) Otherwise, I hope you're having fun!
Oh yeah, that's me (Allie) btw...
