This is a bit unusual, in that it's not really celebrating a food. Instead, it's really celebrating those who consume it - the lovers of peanut butter, rather than peanut butter itself. For those who love it, though, today does provide another excuse to eat this.
This food paste, which is made from ground and dry roasted peanuts (which, like so many foods with "nut" in their name, is not actually a botanical nut; instead, it's a legume). It is probably most popular in North America, with the US being the world's largest exporter.
The most common varieties are referred to as crunchy and smooth, with crunchy being, well crunch, and smooth not. Crunchy is better for you, if only slightly.
Peanut butter is popular in sandwiches, and is an ingredient in many other dishes, from sweet foods like cookies, to savoury foods, such as many Asian dishes.
