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
