Not sure if serious, but canids generally seem to be really enthusiastic about peanut butter. Really, really enthusiastic. Maybe it's the fat content. There's also a lot of salt in it, which dogs tend to like. Most brands sold in the US are sweetened with molasses, which a lot of animals really like.
Also I think it is probably more accurate to characterize peanut butter as a byproduct that has been converted into food. Peanuts were cultivated fur generations in the US mainly so that the very expensive, very profitable peanut oil could be squooshed out of them in big mechanical presses. The solid matter that's left over after this process is called a "pomace" in the trade. Fur generations the peanut pomace was used mostly as animal feed. Late in the 19th Century various smart fellers figured out that you could mix the pomace with cheaper oil to make a paste, add salt and molasses, and get cheap food that people would eat, and started selling it commercially, though it didn't become really common in the USAian diet until World War I and food rationing made people regard it as an inexpensive meat substitute.
But to get backon track, a lot of animals really like peanuts. Peanut farmers in some parts of the US have problems with wild boars and feral hogs digging up and eating their crops. Peanuts are very nourishing. They're high in protein, and the fat content is something a lot of animals instinctively seek out.
...should any non-USAians be reading, they tell us here that peanut butter is acceptable fur feeding pets occasionally as a treat, unless it is sweetened with a sugar substitute called xylitol. Xylitol is very toxic to a lot of animals, so maybe don't do that. They don't put it in a lot of foods here, but elsewhere in the world that isn't true, and I have read that in Australia, fur example, a lot of peanut butter has xylitol in it.
Anyway, peanut butter sammiches are simple and nourishing, and some days one is my breakfast. I have spent entirely too much time reading the labels of the various brands. If Averi likes peanut butter sammiches, I am not the least bit surprised.
