I do think, to some people, all peanut butter might taste that way. Some kinds are saltier, but it’s not usually that salty. The natural/fresher stuff is closer to “crushed peanuts and their oils + a little salt” and is a lot less sweet and less smooth, but “better” and more peanutty. If you get in a regular jar you will be closer to “thick stubborn substance of indefinite origin that is great on toast”. But maybe I’m overselling the difference- it all tastes like mashed up peanuts and it all definitely sticks to your mouth. It’s a very distinct vibe. Describing it does sound a bit gross haha
Well it did stick to my mouth but... it tasted like bitter N O T H I N G
Either it was off or you have/had Covid.
I am an absolute peanut butter apologist, so my instinct is to tell you to eat it with something sweet. See, in the grand poem of life, peanut butter IS the cardboard, the base if you will, the foundation, upon which jams and honeys and chocolates can be allowed to shine. It elevates them BECAUSE it is nothing, because it is mashed protein giving you an EXCUSE to eat the sugars and condiments on top of it and still be full afterward. The nothingness of peanut butter is its GLORY. It’s a humble condiment, it needs a dance partner. It cannot taste like anything alone on CREPES.
