Hazelnuts are gaining some traction in the US. I think it will be a more popular nut in America in the future. I shall not partake though, I think it tastes kind of weird. I think that the Ferrero Rocher chocolates are okay. This is living proof that I'll eat anything if it's got enough sugar on it. :)

No! I do go to restaurants but have noticed that some over-salt their
dishes, perhaps to make up for other shortcomings. My comments in the
past on the subject have had to do with obvious water retention due to
excess salt after eating out.
Just watch TV shows where the likes of Oliver and Ramsay are cooking and
see them throw gobs of the stuff into the dishes.

Probably because what you tasted wasn't peanut butter, but a mixture
of hydrogenated shortening and sugar passed off as peanut butter. The
ingredient list on the real thing says "peanuts, salt".
 
One supermarket stocks one brand of real peanut butter, but it's
ground into a sticky paste. I think that the Rentown market has
peanut butter that isn't ground quite so fine -- almond butter that I
bought there was superb -- but it's really, really hard for me to get
to Rentown, and it's been so long I can't swear the store itself is
still there.

Don't be silly. They use a fine salt on them. You have to watch out
for places that use Kosher salt and try to make you a religious follower
from it.

Ooooh, I like hazelnuts, too. Carnation, I think that's the brand, makes a
hazelnut flavored coffee creamer. I don't care for flavored creamers in my
coffee but that stuff mixed with a glass of milk is the bee's knees to me!

I thought they were called filberts in the US.

As much as I like peanuts and peanut butter I just don't like peanut butter
cookies *at all.* Baking them just does something to the flavor that I don't
care for.

You don't notice much because you have your politically correct

What would happen if Christ Killer replaced Christ with the prophet
and started posting in muslim forums? He'd better hide his address
well.

I don't care for thigh unless it's female... 'bout the only Oriental

can't come close to Brooklyn Chinks from the '50s. Sorry but I ain't
into PC fakery, if yoose Chinese you're a Chink, Japanese you're a
Jap, Korean yoose a Gook, etal... and this Brooklynite ain't ever
never gonna change. I know all the ethnic foods better than the
ethnics... truth is most ethnicities much prefer Jewish foods... I've
yet to encounter a black person who didn't prefer a potato k'nish, to
chitlings... actually black people despise soul food.... go to
Nathan's Coney Island any evening and see what black people gorge on,
and sho nuff ain't warty melon... much more likely Schaeffer brewskie

yoose, black peeps do not eat collards, they HATE greens.

I call that my goulash only I use oregano. I break up uncooked
spaghetti and push it down into the goulash juice, cover the pan and
let it cook. I've tried it without the zucchini and it just isn't the
same.
