I think peanut has been available in the Spar stores for a good many
years. I remember finding it in a store in Garmisch-Partenkirschen back
in the early 90s, and a Spar store we shopped in while in Estonia 10
years ago even had it! But we haven't found it in Italy.
We have enjoyed being able to get the mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise
in the squeeze tubes for years because they are so handy for picnics and
easy to carry around in your backpack. I've wished they would catch on
in the US, but the closest we will come will be the big fat squeeze
bottles they now use!
