For those cho can't get peanut butter, you can make your own without too much trouble, especially if you don't mind slightly chunky peanut butter...
Either put salted roast peanuts through a meat grinder (this can even be done twice, to get it smoother), or blend them thoroughly for 2-3 minutes in a good blender, maybe a little longer if you want it really smooth. If you like sweetened peanut butter, you can add sugar, molasses or honey to taste. If it is too dry you can add a tbsp of oil (ground nut is best, canola or soya will also work) The peanut butter doesn't last as well as the commercial stuff (you should finish it in a week or two, or it will taste stale), but is delicious!
