While I do use unsweetened 'natural' peanut butter for cooking, I didn't
grow up with it being a bread spread. The first time I was offered a
PBJ, the first bite nearly got spit out! It's partly the 'raw'
combination of sweet and savoury tastes, with no balance or blending.
Might be a little of the mouthfeel and having the peanut butter sticking
to the roof of my mouth LOL. Not to mention I despise grape jelly full
stop.

Most American cookies/biscuits are too sweet and too soft for my taste.
The texture of oatmeal 'cookies' is unpleasant although I do like cooked
oat porridge (unsweetened).
