Today I made crêpes for breakfast like I usually do....

And I tried some smooth peanut butter inside one of them. It doesn't taste horrible, but after a bit of eating it, I felt like I was in the 3rd circle of hell.

I asked my mother and my grandma for an opinion, and they too agreed.

Why do Americans torture themselves like this?

BECAUSE, it’s delicious and filling and good and perfect, or more accurately because most of us ate it a lot as children, and it’s very cheap. Though, i am not sure how good it would be on something delicate like crepes. Peanut butter belongs on toast or english muffins with honey. It belongs between slices of cheap preservative-filled bread. It belongs on spoons and in cookies. American peanut butter (things like jif) is also usually full of a bunch of sugar and nonsense that makes it a very different food from natural peanut butter. One is a much higher quality product than the other, and the texture is not at all the same. I think most people eat the processed kind, but if you want to make nice things like crepes or quality recipes, the natural kind (which is basically a different food) might taste a lot better to you.

Does it taste like bitter cardboard? I read somewhere on this thread that it is supposed to be salty....

It really shouldn't taste bitter at all.
