How Familiar Are You Europeans With Peanut er?

i�m german and yes, you can buy it here (it�s called "Erdnusser" in german), but i�m not surprised that your friend�s host family didn�t know about it. it�s not very popular here. i�ve tasted it once and i didn�t like it at all. that�s nothing compared to nutella, a famous hazelnut-chocolate-cream-spread which is very tasty.
