Do explain...

Not sure I was just doing some lame joke there. I was trying to look it up but no luck. This about all I found.

"Most Germans find peanut butter too "exotic" to eat regularly, but I believe in time the preferences of younger and more worldly wise people will be catered to."

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Germany-141/Peanut-butter.htm

Also, Peanut Butter used to be a lot worse a few decades ago. Maybe there is a stigma against it due to when it first came out.

Let's harass Porcupine till he answers! :D

Do explain...

you can't call something butter that isn't actually 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.”

Better then "Liver Cheese" a Austrian delicacy that contains neither liver or cheese

btw, it's peanut creme in Germany

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..

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
