Hey man.. your offending all the dutch members on this site... which consist of me... and... myself...

and yes Pindakaas = peanut cheese...  the dutch name for Butter.. Boter was actually a protected name..
the peanut paste with no name was compared to "Liver Cheese" a Austrian delicacy that contains no cheese
so in the end they called it Peanut Cheese like Liver Cheese and it became Pindakaas..

You mean like a trademark?


Neh.. more like it could be only used for real diary butter products cause margarine was coming up back then.. they didn't want margarine to be confused with butter

At one time, margarine here in the US was pink so people wouldn't confuse it with butter.

i can't believe it's not pink butter



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
