  I dunno about that, but I do know Reeses cups taste bad. Too much sweet and salty.

  I’ll assume this is a very European take, and point out that Europeans don’t even ever eat peanuts or peanut butter anyways as it was written off as colonist fodder unfit for their ‘queenly’ pallette. They also don’t like corn, which has the juice, so like yea man we know their tastes are stuck in like the 18th century. Go on darling, have your fermented herring and duck pate 😬 we’ll continue actually using the spices and flavors from the new world

    Why not have both? I’ve lived in the western US my entire life, but I think pickled herring is delicious, and I made rillettes (which is like a pate) just the other day.

  I think we think it goes together because of Reese’s. Like we see it as some classic combo. Ill say I’ve tried the combo several other ways and it really only works when the peanut butter is extremely, extremely sweet.

  Real. Peanut butter in general is so ass. Basically every other nut butter is superior yet Americans love to shove that gross, musty shite into everything.

  Pineapple on pizza

    Ham and pineapple complement one another with saltiness and sweetness. One amplifies the flavor of the other.

    If you put canadian bacon next to the pineapple, its delicious. Also, really important to have pineapple that’s not super fibrious in a mixed dish.

  When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.

  source

  • BanMe@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    A bar of Hershey’s, you can really taste the butyric acid that forms during their unique process. In a Reece’s cup, the high sugar content of the filling (it’s not really even peanut butter) overpowers it. I actually like Reece’s but Hershey’s is a last resort chocolate.

• D_C@sh.itjust.works ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  A gazillion years ago I was in a shop that had an american aisle, so I bought some some american chocolate that had peanut butter in it. Reese’s, I think?

  Anyways it tasted slightly like chalky chocolate vomit with peanut butter on it.
  I thought I’d got a bad batch so the next time I saw some I got something from Hershey’s. Again, chocolate vomit.
  Never had any of that shit since.

  Cadbury’s in the UK have been adding extra things to their chocolate bars for years now. My cynical brain tells me it’s to mask the fact that they’ve changed things and lowered the quality of their products.
  When did this happen? A few years after it was sold to Kraft, an american ‘food’ company…

  source

  • BlueAure@infosec.pub ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The common explanation is that Hershey’s chocolate contains some amount of butyric acid which tastes/smells like vomit. Adam Ragusea on YT did a pretty solid video on it.

    Why Hershey bars taste like vomit (and I love them)

    Not all US chocolate tastes like Hershey.

    source
  • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    American regular grocery store brands of chocolate are horrible. Hershey’s and all the rest. Of course it’s the cheapest ingredients drowned in sugar to cover the otherwise poor taste. Cadbury’s now tastes waxy to me. Used to be pretty good. All in the name of profit.

    Aldi in the US actually has really decent chocolate, their Choceur label for milk chocolate is quite good. Good luck finding it, I think the tariffs killed the availability, haven’t seen any for weeks.

    source
  • AA5B@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Hersheys has always been horrible but we never had any choices when I was growing up. We have much better options now and I haven’t voluntarily had Hersheys in a couple decades.

    However I object to Your criticism of Reese’s. It’s fair to say it’s not quality chocolate, fair to say the filling isn’t really peanut butter, fair to say it’s ungodly sweet, but chalky? Yes, I love it: why?

    source
  • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I thik a lot of the US stuff are things you have to grow with. If you taste them once you’re an adult, you see them for what they are and they’ll never work for you. Reese and Oreo being the obvious examples for me.

  To whom it may concern:

  Please be advised that your meme will be slathered with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with melted chocolate. Afterwards, you may immediately go and pound sand.

  Should you decide to spread this misinformation further, we will be forced to place a bounty on you. When you are captured, you will be taken to Hershey Park and doused with Hershey’s chocolate syrup in front of many peanut  butter & chocolate lovers.

  For good measure, the public will be armed with crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in milk chocolate if you attempt to escape (dark chocolate covered peanut butter balls sold separately).

    I’ve genuinely never understood how people can stand chocolate and fruit together. Or fruit and coffee for that matter. Chocolate and coffee taste kinda similar to me though so those mix well…

    But fruit with either is just super nasty to me.

    All that said, the best chocolate I’ve ever had was some imported thing that tasted vaguely of raspberry, but wasn’t actually supposed to. It was just chocolate that got stored with other candies.

    source

    • proudblond@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If chocolate and coffee taste similar to you, I can see why you wouldn’t like it with fruit!

      I like chocolate with my fruit (berries, apple even) but I don’t care for fruit in my chocolate bars, funny enough.
