As someone not allergic to peanuts, but who grew up in Europe, I was probably about 20 when I tried peanut butter for the first time. I agree with you, it's meh. Not terrible, not great.

Nutella, ovomaltine, pistachio or white chocolate spreads are much better. Never tried biscoff, sounds promising.

Wait just a minute! You're comparing sugary spreads to our peanut butter? Imma remember this next time somebody from Europe gives us shit about sugar in our sandwich bread.

I'm kinda the opposite of you. I'm American and grew up with peanut butter. I didn't try Nutella until my 20s, and while it was ok, I didn't think it was nearly as good as what people made it out to be.

While I don't have peanut butter often nowadays, it's still one of my favorite things when added to sweets, like peanut butter cups or peanut butter fudge. Peanut butter + chocolate is a heavenly combo.

The trick to peanut butter on toast is to butter the toast with cow butter first

Also the trick to extra good PB&J

Biscoff butter is great. Absolutely horrendously unhealthy IIRC, but tastes great.
Also, there are so many chocolate spreads out there that are a hundred times better than Nutella nowadays, don't sell your palate short!
