I’d say you’re wrong because I’ve been able to find it in most supermarkets in the countries in Europe I’ve visited. And it’s actual peanutbutter instead of peanutbutter + a bunch of sugar or weird supplements.
Just checked my kitchen, the store brand peanut butter from German Aldis has around 9% of additives (sugar, palm oil and salt) and it’s the only one they stock. This whole comment chain made me look up where to find 100% peanut butter and that ratio of additives unfortunately seems to be fairly common. There are brands that are 100% peanut, but for some reason these are almost exclusively sold in 1kg jars, i guess people who look for that are really into peanut butter. I mean, i am as well, and this stuff keeps good forever, so i may just go big next time i have to restock.
you don’t have to buy sugary versions, they’re the most popular because sugar is popular but no sugar added is right next to it at the generic supermarket I go to
this is what I usually get, it’s everywhere in New England but I think it’s nationally available tho unfortunately I think whole foods is their national distributor so probably more expensive elsewhere. idk, I was just responding to the sugar thing, but it’s not worth looking through every store’s products in multiple major cities to argue the point, like yes it’s harder to find food that’s not filled with the ubiquitous bullshit, was just saying it’s not the only stuff you can find.

Neat! The one I bought in Germany was just peanuts and salt. Bought it in a Netto

No I’m pretty sure my wide generalisation of an entire nations consumption habits is correct
tone clarifier
not trying to be dismissive. Trying to admit fault in a cheeky way.
It’s difficult and expensive to find ones that don’t contain palm oil.

Sure. Just it’s difficult and expensive. :)
