POLL: How do you like your Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich?

[jlazar]

PB, Mayo and Lettuce. Add bacon for a spurge.

[CandySueQ]

Dave's Killer Bread, thin sliced Seedy
Jif extra crunchy
Smuckers Cherry preserves

Won money at a contest with an Elvis sammich. Wheat bread with PB, bacon, nanner & honey smashed on a sandwich press type toaster.

[ecowper]

Anything other than Wonder Bread, a smooth peanut butter, and strawberry jam is really just plain evil.

[DavidNorcross]

I will eat PBJ sandwich any way you want to serve it. If I had to give you my preferred, it would be crunchy Skippy on homemade bread with a blackberry jelly.

[latenight71]

This is how my dad would do it -

Hearty wheat bread
Real peanut butter (peanuts and salt)
Dijon mustard
sliced red onion
sliced bell pepper

When I make it I add fresh preserves and sharp cheddar cheese.

[latenight71]

Heck yeah. Chunky the only way to go.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Cheap white wonderbread, untoasted and uncut w/crust on, skippy or jiff crunchy, smuckers orange marmalade... each heaped on their own slice.

Always a different knife! Both get licked

PB warn and jelly cold

No extras.

Now having said all that I do have a jar of PB in the fridge, the dogs have their own jar of natural stuff.

And even more blasphemous, while my sandwich may seem awfully specific, that's not my go to PB&J.

Large flour tortilla, spread PB across most of it and sometimes a large blob near the center too, microwave about 45 seconds, add cold jelly, wrap it burrito style!

Both ingredients applied with a spoon! And licked

That's my favorite PB&J

[ofelles]

interesting.

[ecowper]

I was with you right up to the "crunchy" … then you lost me

[Greygoose]

Teddie crunchy PB, Welches grape jelly or some home made strawberry vanilla preserve, Cape Cod potato chips nestled between 2 slices of BREAD,,,,white, whole wheat ,seeded,,,,,no rye though

[RichardCullip]

I like my PBJs sans J

[ecowper]

PB with grape Jelly. Gods gift to us mortals.

From the holidays this past year:


this was one slice of bread cut in half before assembly.

1. Welches grape jelly, refrigerated, use a spoon or a squeeze bottle.
2. Skippy creamy peanut butter, unrefrigerated, use a knife.
3. Cinnamon raisin bagel from Bagelwich in Verona NJ, split in half, toasted if previously frozen.
4. Spread thick layer of Skippy on half of bagel using knife. Lick peanut butter off knife.
5. Spread a thick layer grape jelly on peanut butter using spoon or squeeze bottle. If using spoon, lick jelly off spoon.
6. Eat open faced. Get peanut butter and jelly on your face around your mouth. Watch jelly slide off peanut butter onto your shirt and pants.
7. Make Nesquick chocolate milk in a pint glass to wash it down.

When finished eating the first half bagel, repeat steps 1 - 7 for the other half of the bagel. Enjoy!

When done, take a shower or wash your face. Change your clothes and put your jelly stained clothes in the laundry.

🤣🤣🤣

If you aren’t using a knife and fork….you are eating it wrong!

I grew up eating sloppy PBJs. Toasted bread, chunky Jiff and grape jelly. Sounds good to me right now!

[WillTravelForFood]

With all the responses, I’m surprised nobody has brought up marshmallow fluff, aka fluffernutter!!

[Red Man]

I prefer peanut butter and honey to PB&J. Jiff crunchy. Even better is a Nutella sandwich 😋. My go to breads are Dave’s Killer breads…red, blue, or green.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

I love PB and honey
