I hate that skippy shit with icing sugar and vegetable oil added. It tastes like sweetened, oily ass.
Carrefour used to have a good organic peanut butter, but apparently it has been discontinued. In Canada, you just go to an organic food shop and they'll grind your nuts up into a nice flavorful paste with a special machine. Or you can get good stuff in the supermarket. Who cares if you need to give it a stir? It tastes goood.
Can anyone help?
WCIF natural or organic peanut butter in Taipei?

I can't help but I can tell you that some of the nicest peanuts I've ever had are grown in Taiwan in Miaoli, it's the red clay soil you see....

I feel your pain. Yes, my Carrefore doesn't carry it anymore either. Don't know if Costco hasit but they didn't for a while over the summer and I stopped looking.
The only place I see it now is in organic shops but it's NT280 or something for a half size jar.
I saw that 50/5o stuff today at City Super. Just peanuts and a bit of hydrogenated oil (rape, cotton, and soy). Not perfect but better than Skip my way to an early grave.

It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

I buy a brand labelled 五惠 (Wuhui). There are two kinds - red label (sweet) and orange label (salty). "Salty" just means "not so sweet," so that's the one I get. It's made in Longtan township, Taoyuan County.

I bought some at the Jason's in Banqiao before, it was in the organic food section. Haven't bought in some time, because I brought some back from Trader Joe's this summer.
