Interestingly enough, I spent a summer interning in France. I got homesick and was craving peanut butter, looked for it at the store, learned the word - they had no idea what I was talking about. Showed them it written down and a picture and everything

My host family told me you could find it in the international isle, but looked at me weird... They said they only ate it as a high calorie snack when they went skiing

My point is, even though I'm constantly disappointed by even "fancy" wine and cheese a decade later, a spoon full of peanut butter is a fantastic way to shut down hunger pangs for a few hours.

Honestly, it's better without bread or toast - that's just empty carbs anyways. I started getting coconut flakes to sprinkle on top... It's an easy way to class it up without adding calories or effort... It's basically a no-bake protein cookie at that point

Again, peanut butter is used plenty in noodles and noodle soups and it works great. Each to their own though. Just saying. Abomination is literally exaggering it. Literally learned to use peanut butter with noodles from Asian people.
