According to Wikipedia, peanut butter was first patented in 1884 by Marcellus Gilmore Edson, a Canadian. Then patented again in 1897 by J.H. Kellogg, the cereal guy, for something called "nut-butter". *giggles*
If you were referring to George Washington Carver, you would be wrong. Carver did do many wonderful things with peanuts, sadly, peanut butter was not one of them.
Are you suggesting a German invented the car before Henry Ford did? That's silly! Henry Ford had nothing to do with the invention of the automobile. Henry Ford pioneered the use of assembly lines in production.
