Haha ohh OP, you should have known you can't talk about anything positive about the US while portraying Europe as equal or less than it. The Europeans and a portion of Americans will always tell you how horrible the US is, and how everything here is terrible, and garbage, and shabby, cheap, tacky, uncultured, so many other disparaging adjectives compared to "Europe."

I've never lived in Europe but my cousin married an English girl, and according to her in the UK peanut butter is extremely rare, and there's almost nothing PB flavored.

You never lived in Europe, but felt like commenting on a thread about the things an American would miss being in Europe?

The writer of the article clearly did not live in Europe, more looks like she was on an extended, closely monitored and guided tour of a few select areas.

Yeah, just pointing out that you can't say positive things about the US, without getting told how wrong you are, and how Europe is simply amazing and way better than anything in America.

If you are still in England London does have a Chipotle. Frankfurt got one last year and is the first one in Germany. I agree about the wings. Haven't found good ones in three years. I have seen Sierra Nevada, Founders and a few other craft American beers in the UK.

I find this hard to believe, you can find peanut butter in most supermarket in France, I am pretty sure this is the same in UK.

PB is rare? Hardly. The PB here was bad when I moved here in 2000 but the last few years they've had a brand I really like, better than the American stuff that is loaded with sugar.

I don't understand why anybody should use peanut butter for anything. Tastes foul and destroys the whole sandwich.
