Talk:Peanut paste

First half of article is wrong

I can attest personally to the accuracy of the second half of the article: "peanut paste" is what I ate as a boy in Perth during 1946-1954. I soon got used to the name "peanut butter" when we moved to Sydney.

However I have reservations about the first half of the article, claiming that "Peanut paste is the main ingredient of peanut butter". Certainly the manufacture of peanut butter and related products begins with the production of a peanut paste, but "a peanut paste" (or "the peanut paste" as referred to in the 1993 patent constituting the sole source for this claim), is not the same thing as "peanut paste", which is simply an alternative name for peanut butter.

Ironically it would almost be reasonable to say that "almond butter is the main ingredient of almond paste", in that the latter as the basis for marzipan etc. is made from roughly equal quantities of almonds and sugar ground together. Almond butter is the same but without the sugar. I say "almost" because almond butter is ground more finely than almond paste, to the consistency of peanut butter, so actually neither one can be made from the other.

Originally this article was simply a link to peanut butter. Since "peanut paste" (without "a" or "the") is simply another name for peanut butter, the conversion of the link to a separate article is misleading. Does anyone have any objection to making it merely a link again? The information about WA and QLD in Australia should be no more than a note in the peanut butter article.
