My mum spent a couple of years in the UK and refers to peanut butter as peanut paste. Could be a term for ‘spread’.

Us UK people call peanut butter "peanut butter" - it's what's written on the jar.

It definitely isn't a term for 'spread'. It specifically refers to meat or fish paste sandwiches. The paste comes in little tins. Meat is most common, but when I was a kid I loved crab paste.
