Comments by "Cat Lily" (@Catlily5) on "The Crazy History of Peanuts and Peanut Butter" video.

  1. The fact that a food was rare or more expensive made it appealing to the rich. Edit: Which changes over time.

  2.  @magnetospin  He said they were called foreign beans. Past tense. But it is confusing because you don't know if that is still used.

  3.  @GregConquest  The health food store when I was a kid had a machine that ground up peanuts. It did not add sweetener or anything else. This meant the oil kept separating from the rest. Once you stirred it up it was pretty good. I like it better than regular USA peanut butter which tastes too sweet and is too smooth and sticky for me. I guess it is just what you are used to eating.

  4.  @pyellard3013  Some people from India don't believe that chilli is from the Americas.

  5.  @Norm475  Lots of misinformation in school but not as much as on the internet. Edit: I am talking about the internet in general (not this particular video).

  6.  @AdmiralBison  Seems to be true. The Emperor's New Food.

  7.  @pyellard3013  I don't know. I suspect people probably ate a lot of spices in India even before because a lot of them grow there.

  8.  @pyellard3013  Obviously people in India did not have chilies (before Columbus) but they have many other kinds of spices.

  9.  @nielgregory108  This video said that peanuts were in Mexico before Columbus. Mexico is in North America.

  11. Except there is evidence of peanuts in South America (and North America) before the Spanish got there.

  12.  @jrsygrl72  You have to stir the real peanut butter well with a butter knife each time you use it.

  13.  @jrsygrl72  I have not seen it made fresh in years either. It looked gross but tasted good.

  14. Unlikely.

  15.  @gozerthegozarian9500  We ate pure peanut butter from the health food store. You threw the peanuts into a machine that grinds them. You do have to stir the oil back in. If you stir the oil in and mix it well it tastes good. Regular American peanut butter tastes kind of gross to me because I am used to the other kind.

  16.  @mogusmonroe9431  Many populations are commonly lactose intolerant. Most European and South Asian (Indian) people are not lactose intolerant. Many East Asian and West African are lactose intolerant. Usually if your ancestors had cattle for a long time you will be able to tolerate milk. There are varying levels of tolerance as well. Also cheese and yogurt have much less lactose than milk so more people can tolerate eating them.

  18. I looked it up. First evidence of popcorn was Peru 9000 years ago.

  20. Good question. Though apparently being around peanuts as a baby makes people less likely to get peanut allergies. But when a population was first introduced that wouldn't have been possible.

  21. We bought peanut butter at a health food store when I was a kid. We threw peanuts into a machine that ground them. I just stirred the peanut butter up with a butter knife every time I used it. It tastes good freshly ground.

  22. Probably Spain brought the nuts and the name.

  23.  @stefthorman8548  I am not talking about bell peppers. I am talking about chilli peppers.

  24. I was wondering about that.

  25.  @fech  They eat them boiled in the mountains of Georgia (USA).

  26.  @dbmail545  Yeah, they found if babies aren't exposed to peanuts they are more likely to develope peanut allergies.
