If you eat a bunch of peanuts all at once, like chew them up real good but DO NOT swallow, then grab some salt and swish it around in there, why the heck doesn’t that chewed up jumble taste anything like peanut butter?
If you eat a bunch of almonds all at once, like chew them up real good but DO NOT swallow, then take a BIG gulp of water, throw in a generous helping of salt, and swish it all around, why doesn’t the resulting mishmash substance taste anything like almond milk?
life's two greatest questions

PLEASE I BEG YOU ALL, DO NOT TRY TO ANSWER THE BRAIN BUSTERS I POSED OR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS IN THIS THREAD. THE LAST FEW PEOPLE WHO TRIED ENDED UP AT THE BRAIN HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEIR BRAINS HURT SO MUCH.
I have an answer. In a word: process. Like great art and emotional breakthroughs, almond milk and peanut butter aren't just the sum of their ingredients, they're the product of good process. You had the right ingredients, and your mouth-based process had the gist of it, but peanut butter and almond milk, like great art and emotional breakthroughs, take a lot of time because the ingredients need a lot of work to be transformed into something beautiful. It's all process, Alex. Well, process and ball bearings.
