Do you guys eat PB&Js? (Peanut Butter 'n Jelly Samwiches)

[Minnie_the_Minx]

yes
but only if there is banana involved in my case
and
it
is
called
JAM

not if it doesn't have seeds in it

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Jelly is this:

Quite different from Jeelie:

That's Jello

 

[electrogirl]

That's Jello

what are you doing?

 

[danny la rouge]

That's Jello

It is, yes. Also known as jelly.

Jeelie is any fruit preserve, seeds or not.

 

[damnhippie]

the correct accompaniment to jam in a sandwich is cheese.

I stand corrected

the correct accompaniment to jam in a sandwich is cheese.

Mmmmmm cheese and jam

 

[Strumpet]

It has to be STRAWBERRY jam?!

 

[jayeola]

J-a-m. Peanut butter and j-am. JAM. Jam. Jam. And yes, peanut butter and JAM is very nice. In fact I'm going to have a toasted peanut butter and jam bagel right now!

I'd forgotten that jam is sometimes called jeelie.

I wonder if the american thing came from Scottish immigrants saying jeelie or because they take the pips out making it look like our jelly.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Sounds vile

 

[electrogirl]

I don't know why people still think it's a weird combo.

 

[PacificOcean]

do you remember snickers spread?

Tesco still sell it.

Along with Milky Bar spread and Galaxy spread.

 

[D]

blech.

mind you, I might like it as a treat now and then if it actually involved:

home made bread
sugar-free/crap-free peanut butter
sugar-free/crap free jam

but it never did when I was a child. You couldn't get me near any sort of fruit preserve/smush thing because I'd never tasted an all-natural variety of it.

but anyway, I don't eat bread, peanuts, or smushy fruit much these days

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

what are you doing?

Pretending to be American

You can buy peanut butter with Welch's Purple Grape conserve already through it, in stripes like toothpaste.

i've had that, its not that good...better to use separate jars of each

I sometimes eat Peanut butter and jam, but on toast not in sandwiches.

thats weird, the peanut butter would melt

peanut butter and jam is what the good Earl had in mind when he invented his snack

i see

It has to be STRAWBERRY jam?!

strawberry is traditional but many do grape flavour or others....whatever you like

 

[Detroit City]

last nite i came home and made a HUGE peanut butter/jelly sandwich with half inch thick peanut butter and half inch of strawberry jelly on soft white bread. also had a big glass of milk with ice in it.

that was the progenitor for this thread

that and the booze in me brain

I think you've fooled everyone.

You can't have jam without sugar, it would be wrong - and disgusting!

 

[Maggot]

Peanut butter doesn't melt.

 

[felixthecat]

Its one american import I think is great, but it has to be crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam and fresh white bread.

I also agree its even better on toast

 

[DotCommunist]

Disgusting

 

[Detroit City]

Peanut butter doesn't melt.

yes it does...

i don't do crunchy

Disgusting

 

[Ozric]

I like peanut butter and apricot jam, also not quite the same but peanut butter and marmite

 

[kalidarkone]

Well?

Or is it just an american thing?

If you don't you're missing out.

I prefer peanut butter and honey and also peanut butter , honey and cheese!!

 

[kained&able]

its rank!

Love peanut butter but with jam its nasty.

Yup, the "jeelie piece" is well-ensconced in scottish culture.

Although once again, I am truly disturbed to see another peanut butter thread on here.

 

[strung out]

i want one of these...

 

[pogofish]

yes it does...

It should not. If it melts, you an be pretty certain that your spread includes a whole load of extra crap - Usually hard fats in this case.

 

[Detroit City]

I like peanut butter and apricot jam, ...

thats ok, anything sweet will work

I prefer peanut butter and honey !!

that would work too, innit?

It should not. If it melts, you an be pretty certain that your spread includes a whole load of extra crap - Usually hard fats in this case.

indeed, but i can't make me own

 

[trashpony]

i want one of these...

It wouldn't look that clean and tidy if you actually used it. I bet that thing's shit and it doesn't work. If it were that easy, you could just mash some peanuts in a pestle and mortar and hey presto! peanut butter.

In Trader Joe's in California, they sell cashew nut butter and almond butter. They piss all over peanut
