Not at all! Peanut butter is completely unknown in France for instance. It's just something you hear about in American series without ever knowing what it is. And even in the Netherlands it's not that popular. Most supermarkets sell one brand of peanut butter only, and it's not a thing people run to get (and some supermarkets don't sell any at all!). Even my friend, who by Dutch standards likes peanut butter a lot, hardly buys more than two pots of it per *year*. Not all people have bad taste you know. ;))))))) Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
