To ask this absurd question?

Is peanut butter (100% natural peanut butter) sweet.. or savoury?

im having a debate with one of my siblings about how sweet and savoury food do/don’t belong together. I mentioned cheese and craps, apple sauce on pork, soft cheese in cheesecakes..

all while I’m eating my apple and peanut butter.. it got me thinking. Peanuts as a snack would be savoury, so why does peanut butter seem like a sweet?!

*I’d

Also another one thinking WTF at Branston Pickle on Madeira cake.

I find it sickly in a way I don't find other savoury foods sickly. I'd say it was sweet/salty.

It's both and I love it. My favourite is Whole Earth Dark Roasted.
I use it in place of butter to make healthy fruit and nut flapjacks, eat it with apple, have it on toast with raspberry jam. Sometimes I just have it in sandwich on its own.

Oh thank god. I thought everyone had just glossed over the hilarious typo! 😂

@Hidingawaytoday and all other doubters, it is delicious. My nan made a Madeira cake every few weeks, always served with a dollop of pickle on the side. I only realised it wasn’t ‘normal’ when i served it to my inlaws. A couple of them are eating it the ‘right’ way now!

@MisguidedGhosts first time I’ve been called sick on mumnet! Whoohoo!

I find it sweet, too.
Don’t have a sweet tooth at all and salty snacks are my go to.

Good lord.

Well, I have some Madeira cake in the cupboard that a neighbour brought round for the bells which we haven't opened yet, so I'll give it a shot - I'm nothing if not open-minded. 😄

"Is peanut butter sweet or savoury?"...I'd say YES !
I'm putting in the same category as baked beans, BBQ pulled pork and sweet chilli relish. The combo messes with head. I prefer solo flavours
But cocoa/chocolate + salt + (a bit of) sugar and nuts....perfect 😋

I'd say they were 'fluid' rather than neutral or binary.

@AffIt Glad you’re going to give it a go. Please come back and let us all know how lovely it is. You’re welcome!

Savoury. Love PB on Apple, and chocolate with nuts.

Both. I make my own. Roast peanuts, chuck in food processor, done.

Definitely sweet. It's great with apples, and on toast with banana slices.

Peanut butter is savoury

it is often paired with sweet things like apples or preserves.

now I would really like an apple and peanut butter, which might be the most perfect snack ever invented.
