Years ago, there was a little shop near us which sold freshly-ground
peanut butter. You'd select your peanuts, have them weighed up, and
they'd be ground right in front of you.

I think that's all you need. I buy peanut butter from ALDI.
Ingredients: roasted peanuts and salt. Not organic, not expensive,
from humble ALDI. Why is it so much harder for Americans to get
something decent?

Can you name a few generally available brands?

Sure, if googling for "natural peanut butter" means "generally

Smucker's Creamy Natural

That's a good one. I'd buy it.

Crazy Richard's Creamy Natural

Also great. Also available at Walmart.

Santa Cruz Organic Dark Roasted Creamy

Good, maybe less available

Yes, organic is always a solution

The words "peanut butter" have been elided from the product names

I don't eat very much peanut butter, just a few times per year.  I
buy Jif, just as my mother did.

The strange thing is that when you do a search at Walmart for peanut
butter, they bombard you mainly with crap brands. Maybe those are the
most popular ones, like Jif.

Yes, they are.  The vast majority of Americans like their peanut
butter a little (or a lot) sweet, and they don't like to have to
stir in the oil.
