Why splenda? I mean, why any sweetener?

Wifes choice. Cannot have sugar and wanted a little sweet. I think it was great with no additives.

That's it. It doesn't need it, it's not particularly good for you, so
why put it in everything? Here too. When I want to buy a supermarket
hot sauce, why do they all have sugar in them as a major ingredient?
When I make my own, I don't add sugar, or maybe a minimal amount. And
it tastes fine.

Because the people who buy it like the flavor.

Can't beat freshly made peanut butter.

I've never had it. My local health food store has a peanut butter machine/station. Just add peanuts. I know that the commercial peanut butter is difficult for me to digest. Very difficult. Yet I love the stuff.

Many years ago, I used to travel into the city (Sydney) to a health
food store for freshly made peanut butter, almond butter and others.
They had a machine and would make it on the spot for you. It's just so
much better than the usual supermarket bought peanut butters. It had a
short shelf life, but it never lasted long enough for that to be an
issue for me anyway.

I made walnut cashew butter last weekend. Just nuts. No salt, no sugar. It
was very good but next time Ill adjust my ratio of walnuts to cashews.

Does it taste very different to peanut butter? All the nut butters
I've tried tasted like peanut butter to me. So I'm sticking with
peanut butter for now.

It is unreal how good it is. Patience needed. Strong fp needed too.

I had American walnuts from ALDI a week ago. They tasted old, dusty
and boring. I bet they were fine to begin with and took too long to
reach the consumer in Australia.

Well....that certainly could be. One never knows how long they were kept in
some warehouse before ALDI bought them for distribution. Not having ever
had any food from ALDI, I cant speak for their quality standards to begin
with. There are certainly other stores and brands I will not buy nuts from
because they taste odd. This is especially true for cashews. You could say
Im picky, but a significant portion of my diet is nuts.
