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.

That is why in germany words like "Peanut Butter" are not allowed

Do explain...

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

They call it butter because one of the definitions of butter is a "soft creamy spread", which would be applicable to peanut butter, hazelnut butter, as well as almond butter.  Nutella is just a brand name of a hazelnut butter.

Say if you visited earth from another planet, was a hermit for many years or American, and you didn't know what Jaffa Cakes were and you felt like some cake. You see the Jaffa Cakes in a shop so you buy them, because on the box it says cakes. Now, this is the intense part, you open the box to discover a biscuit (in american = cookie) like snack. This could push any average man over the edge. This is exactly what happened to Hitler. Before being a mad man butter, he enjoyed long walks and making daisy chains and one day he bought Jaffa Cakes.

Now I suggest we take Jaffa Cakes off the selves before we have WWIII. OMG keep the Jaffa Cakes away from Obama. The last thing we want is our own turning against us.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!

Jaffa cakes are dangerous because the UK doesnt earn money when people buy them. Its a cookie named cake and cakes dont have VAT so the country doesnt get monaaaaay. (no VAT on ESSENTIAL GOODS)


BTW This is also a Jaffa cake

“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.”

There is a huge rivalry between the margarine industry and the butter industry.  So careful.
