So I checked the local grocery store last night to see if they had any of this. (Decorah isn't the largest of small towns.) To my surprise, they had several different brands of it! I imagine it's the fear of trans-fats that is driving people to try it.
I went with Smucker's, as that seems to be the preference here. The girl at the checkout counter noticed the oil separation and said, "Hmm, that's kind of a suspect container of peanut butter!" I mumbled a very unsatistactory explanation of what it was and went home.
Once there, I stirred it up a little and tried some. It was WEIRD at first! The tongue expects it to taste really sweet, and I didn't immediately like it. After it had been in my mouth for a while, I realized that it tasted just like chewed-up peanuts anyway, so it wasn't that weird.
So that's my story. I hardly notice the difference when I make my peanut butter sandwiches, but I think I can almost hear my arteries thanking me...
