    Sometimes I feel like my job is going to drive me to drink but...I'm not a drinker. My vice is definitely anything sweet...cookies, cake, candy...just non alcoholic sweets. :)

    Me too. I only really like alcohol when it doesn't taste like alcohol. There's only been one or two times in my life where I was "driven to drink" but I think it that case making the drink helped me more (as a distraction) than the actual drink.

    @RelCanonical @pancakerunner Once we had a client bring us these mini liqueur filled chocolate bottles.

    That...was...a...dilemma...and a half!

    Same, something about it is revolting to me. Ironically love cashew butter and tahini though

    regular peanut butter is to sweet. I love fresh ground dry roasted peanuts made into peanut butter with nothing else added.

    I feel the same about lobster. It needs, like, a whole bowl of butter to even taste good, and it's far too much effort to eat for just a little bit of meat. I agree...crab>lobster

    I actually like lobster, but not enough to pay a high price for it.

    There's a restaurant that we used to go to that had a weekly lobster tail special. I would get it because it was a good price and they prepared it properly, so it was quite good.

    Lobster bisque is good, but lobster mac-and-cheese is just a gimmick and not good at all.

    If you find yourself in Maine or Canada's east coast, you kind of should try some there. It's not as expensive, and fresh out of the ocean is a different experience.

    Same! I love fresh ground nut butters🙂 we sell all kinds of flavored ones with protein powder, etc. Not my thing- plus the ingredients aren't great. Smuckers crunchy 100 percent natural is awesome too! I do not want oil or sugar added in any form.

    I love run-of-the-mill store brand peanut butter, smooth or crunchy!!! A big spoonful! Bring it on! (OK, a smaller spoon, ‘cause, calories.)

    I like it (so long as just peanuts and salt) but do generally prefer other nut butters.

    If its peanut butter, how can it be sweet? If its peanut butter spread, fully agree.

    Yes, agree that peanut butter is not especially sweet. If one chooses peanut butters with sugar added, than the sugar is sweet (I also don't care for sweetened nut butters, but I don't blame the nuts).

    I grew up thinking peanut butter (jiff et al.) was awful, and only realized I actually liked it when I tried the peanuts and salt only kind.

    Even the small spoon is still WAY too many calories for my liking. When you place that small spoon on a scale, you start to question life.

    ...life is not fair and this supports that! That is why I always have a jar of 'PB and Me' on hand.

    That’s why I eat almond butter — or one reason.
    You grind it fresh yourself in the store, vs reading labels trying to find the peanut butter that’s closest to just peanuts.

    Sounds great...except that the calories still exist😥
