Given the fluster over PB&J during the weather delay, what’s the proper amount of jelly?

I put it to you that a PB&J sandwich, per its very name, requires jelly.

 

If it contains 0% jelly, it's not a PB&J sandwich, it's a PB sandwich.

 

Logic

 

 

Is anyone else deeply disturbed at the thought this guy scrutinizes his poop in enough detail to determine this?

 

Buddy, if you can see peanuts or anything else in the loo when you poo, you're examining the stuff too carefully.  What are you, a re-incarnated pooch?

I once knew someone whose bloodhound swallowed her Rolex watch.

It came out in 2 days, still ticking.

 

Something tells me Rolex wouldn't consider that an advertising point to its target market

On another culinary note:

It's refreshing to hear that in these trying times we can all agree that American cheese is awesome.

 

Tangy, a bit savory and oh so meltable.

That’s some rich poo…. Not to mention the poor dog … can’t imagine that felt good during the exit.

That reminds me of the satellite phone the dinosaur eats in Jurassic Park 3

[BuffaloBillies]

it depends. if your mom made a PB&J sandwich and put it in your Kung Fu lunchbox not to be eaten for 4 hours at school, you must use less jelly. Mom, I tell you this all the time, it gets too soggy on the jelly side and leaks through to the outside of the bread and make a mess. Can I please just buy my lunch from now on. All my friends buy lunch.

 

... oh, sorry, things were getting away from me.

One of my favourite things in the world.

 

I've tried many many brands and types of peanut butter and many different jams.

 

My perfect snack:

 

2 slices of freshly baked (got a bread maker) Granary/ Country grain 

 

 

Some butter, preferably with some tasty salt crystals imbedded. I like ones like this

 

Thick, thick layers of peanut buter. This will be approx 65-70% of the topping.

 

The best I have tasted. So far...

 

 

Then, the best accompaniment is blackcurrent jam. This then leads to the answer being be about 30-35%. This one is my present favourite.

 

 

Accompanied by a mug of tea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, yes I'm English. And I like to share

as adults, are we really eating this much pb&j?  we have access to so many other sandwich options,  that pb&j shouldn't be a regular unless you're 5 or on food stamps.  

 

There are some things you never outgrow; a PBJ is one of those things.

 

Before I started working from home, PBJ was my go-to lunch sandwich. I got tired of lunchmeats, so unless there were some dinner leftovers that sounded good, I packed a PBJ, a cup of yogurt, and a piece of fruit. Now I often have PB&J on toast or an English muffin for breakfast.

Sorry, but according to the American Constitution you are not allowed to have PB&J.  

[muppy]

Im a peanut or almond butter and cut up apples kinda girl I havent eaten a PB&J sandwich in years but this is a fun thread regardless

 

Now when my kids were small then oh yes.

[Blainorama5]

Wow!  It's really good to be winning.  Clearly we have time to contemplate this mystifying equation.

 

Oh and 50%+ jelly - and PB for sure.

pb&js have no real redeeming quality to me.  the taste is ok, but any more than one a month and it's too much.  this is coming from a guy who eats turkey and mustard on diet bread just for the sake of filling myself up.

 

you want a meal that you don't outgrow?  grilled cheese and tomato soup.  that ***** is for winners.  pb&j is for the dirty kid on the bus that doesn't want to get picked up in front of his house because it's gross.

My goodness, this sounds amazing.  I am going to have to try this.  As an aside, a personal thank you to your side of the pond for introducing clotted cream to the world (at least I think England introduced it).  That, along with Tiptree lemon curd on some vanilla scones served with tea is just about one of the best things ever.

***** jelly

 

0% jelly

 

I do a double stack of peanut butter and sometimes I put some roast beef slices in there.

Hilarious... but what the hell is diet bread?

it's as awful as it sounds.  i think it's 45 calories a slice, low carb, etc.   it's the equivalent of eating cardboard.

Turkey on mustard is good. But the diet bread totally invalidates your opinion on PBJs.

 

I agree with you on the grilled cheese, though, and tomato soup is great if it's homemade - not that disgusting Campbell's stuff.

 

I forgot to add, I often sprinkle crumbled chips (tortilla, potato, Sun Chips, etc.) into my PBJ. The saltiness complements the sweetness of the jam and the crunchiness adds texture. Also goes well on a grilled cheese.

Costco’s (Kirkland’s) chicken noodle soup is very good stuff. Forget about tomato soup.
