the sad nonexistence of peanut butter and tofu

No, not together. Fear not, I would never commit the atrocity of consuming peanut butter and tofu together (tofu in sesame peanut sauce, though, yes. Mmm). I do, however miss both foods, seperately. But it seems that the Swiss are slightly less advanced in a few aspects. For one, peanut butter is an "American" thing here... you can only find it at the American store (yes, they have one of those), and the only brands they even carry there are Skippy and the like. I have actually seen one type of peanut butter in the normal Swiss grocery store--Barney's Best. Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. It's one of those gross, sugar-filled, hydrogenated oil-loaded, preservative-packed, really, really bad ones. And it's not even a good bad kind (if you know what I mean), like Skippy is, on occasion, when it's just one of those bad days and you're out of chocolate. Granted, I haven't actually bought and tasted Barney's Best, but seeing as it's the only brand sold in a country that doesn't even sell your basic nut and oil peanut butter, I'm confidently hypothesising that it's not all that good.The other product that the Swiss are sorely lacking is tofu. We actually finally found tofu in a small health food store in Rolle, but it's half the size for twice the price as in the U.S. As a vegetarian, I'm practically addicted to tofu, and I've been relying on a lot of pizza and pasta to get by. While I am a fan of those foods, let's face it--we're not in Italy here, and it gets old pretty quickly. So while I'm extremely happy to have found the small goldmine of tofu that we did, I sorely wish the Swiss would wake up and smell the soybeans. Come on, import more tofu, people!
