In Sweden, it's pretty easy to find in shops, but at least for me, jam is an
everyday sort of thing to have on your breakfeast bread, honey I use perhaps on
a Sunday (no, there's absolutely no sense in having more luxurious breakfeasts
on Sundays. I do it anyway), and peanut butter is unusual.

The essential difference between jam and peanut butter is that while the first
sandwich with either tastes good, the fourth with jam also tastes good, while
the fourth with peanut butter makes me want to vomit.
