That reminds me, from what I've seen in pictures and on TV, it seems American peanut butter is way more sloppy and runny than what I'm used to in NZ/UK. Is it really that different?

I don't think so. What brands do you buy?
Do you have Skippy and Jif over there?

 

[Despera]

Sometimes creamy, but mostly crunchy.

mmm...

 

[RedAssedApe]

creamy. maybe im doing it wrong but i hate how crunchy is difficult to spread and destroys your bread.

 

[m3k]

ima roll with crunchy

smooth is alright but if your having it plain, crunchy is the way... i dont mix peanut and jelly or anything like you krazy americans

oh i must qualify that i only eat it on toast

Jif the cleaning product? Yes.

My brand of peanut butter:

 

[DonMigs85]

You need to look for this then (or Skippy).
Look, it's healthier now!

C R U N C H Y!

 

[deim0s]

Creamy

Spoiler

and a sprinkle of sugar for that nibbly crunch.

[RedAssedApe]

I do not. I just have not mastered the art of spreading crunchy PB I guess? haha

 

[Scrow]

i used to be a crunchy man, but eventually i got sick of the bits getting stuck between my teeth. i enjoy smooth now.

 

[Synless]

Crunchy is the only way to go.

 

[ShaneB]

What? You eat peanut butter by itself? :lol

You don't?!?!

EDIT: Also folks, there should only be one ingredient in your peanut butter... peanuts! All natural can take a bit of work at first mixing it all together, but it's worth it!

 

[Baby Milo]

Crunchy all day

 

[Shadybiz]

Crunchy on top of an oatmeal raisin Clif bar...yeah. Provides just the right amount of fuel for my workouts, too.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Creamy. You all who want to taste gravel with your peanut butter, go right ahead. I want my spread to be creamy. When I want nuts to chew, I eat nuts.

 

[pwack]

Honey roasted peanut peanut butter.

 

[andymcc]

Good god this stuff. It is a substance that should not exist. It has ruined men.

it should also be noted that there is a chunky version of speculoos and it, like peanut butter, is better that way.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Smooth...
With salted peanuts on top!

 

[PoweredBySoy]

Peanut butter sucks

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Nope. I live in Mexico, I honestly had no idea it existed.

Que chingaos?

Stay away from it, though. It will make your wang shrivel, like the rest of Crunchy-GAF.

I'm a crunchy convert. Now my passion and vigor in defending all that is crunchy is fierce and impenetrable.

[leadbelly]

I don't mind peanut butter actually, but unlike Americans, I do feel there is a limit to its usage. This limit is completely nonexistent in the US.

 

[Kraftwerk]

I tried..many, many times, but I could never love peanut butter. Tried many versions...no avail.

Forgive me peanut butter gaf :"(

 

[Boss Doggie]

Creamy because there's something delicious eating them, like some filling, and I love creamy stuff <3

 

[I Stalk Alone]

WHIPPED

i also like their chocolate spread but i have since started making my own ganache which i now use as a spread.

this one comes in whipped smooth or whipped crunchy.

Do not get the poor kraft version which is still basically smooth peanut butter, doesn't even have a reall proper whipped consistency . I only seem to find it in Japan for now. You can order them online, so no need to pack so much in your luggage going home.

I will be honest, I still have all three versions of smooth crunchy and whipped at home. I will even eat the crappy kraft version if i run out of the other brands :'(

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Is this the beginning of the next Great GAF War?

Won't be much of a war. Creamy-Gaf is soft and weak, Crunchy-Gaf knows they are supreme and will destroy them. Creamy PB is for children.

And people who put their PB in the fridge should be executed as war criminals. Why would you do that?!

 

[entremet]

I mostly use peanut butter in shakes, so creamy.

 

[Betta Lines]

This thread has surprised me. I suspect that across the pond, this so called 'creamy' peanut butter has different ingredients/additives compared to crunchy, otherwise there wouldn't be so much passion for one or the other. (Then again, this is neogaf)

But in the UK, last time I checked, our 'smooth' and 'crunchy' peanut butters were made from 100% peanut. Nothing else. So the smooth one is simply grinded more. This is why I have no strong feelings either way. I usually get crunchy just for some texture, but in terms of taste they are identical.

US GAF, does your 'creamy' peanut butter have fake cream in it or something?

 

[ShaneB]

All Natural needs to be refrigerated otherwise it just turns into a runny mess with the oil not being mixed.

As for this war.. Creamy-GAF will be spread evenly over the battlefield, while Crunchy-GAF will have strong pockets in places, but spread too thin to win the war! HA!

Yes I am laughing at my own clever analogy

All Natural Peanut Butter! I'm not a fan of crunchy

Crunchy GAF has no huevos!

 

[Maklershed]

Sanwiches and baking = creamy

On bagels, toast, or english muffin = chunky

 

[Log4Girlz]

Congrats on becoming a senior citizen

 

[Wiktor]

I ate peanut butter only once as a kid. I thought it was going to be all sweet and delicous like nutella, it wasn't sweet and I felt betrayed. Never tried it afterwards

 

[Celegus]

I prefer crunchy, but as long as it's just peanuts (no oil or sugar or other crap) I'm good. I usually stick (!) with the Whole Foods 365 Brand.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I like crunchy.
You can even make your own in any blender.

Do it, science, go experiment you fools.

 

[Collete]

Used to like crunchy but then got sick of shards of peanuts in my mouth.
Smooth and creamy is the way to go, especially the homemade stuff!

 

[Mondriaan]

I tried that white chocolate peanut butter and it was overly sugary sweet. It's probably better to buy white chocolate chips and add them yourself. Also, white chocolate chips would probably be "crunchier" instead of being as creamy as the white chocolate chips in that white choc wonder.

I used to buy half creamy and half crunchy when I went out and bought peanut butter, but I've come to the conclusion that if I really wanted crunch, crunchy peanut butter is really half-assing it, and it's better to eat honey roasted peanuts.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

All Natural Peanut Butter! I'm not a fan of crunchy

Beat it, hippie!!

Spoiler

Forgot that it had to be kept on ice. I like all natural too, but CRUNCHY dammit

 

[cyberheater]

Confession time.

I go through about 2 jars of crunchy a week. It's addictive stuff.

 

[pseudomyxoma]

WHIPPED MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

 

[VanquishUK]

Crunchy, but creamy is nice too.

 

[Gong]

Crunchy wins every single time. It's awesome.

 

[gurudyne]

Creamy. Can't savor the flavor if you're choking on brittle mini-caltrops.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Peter Pan creamy.

 

[Bazza]

I must be in the minority i fucking hate the stuff even the smell of it makes me want to puke, i don't mind peanuts though which is strange.

 

[dralla]

Creamy Almond Butter lately for me, Whole Food brand, soooo good. I used to be a crunchy guy, eventually switched over, but I love both.
