Who cannot get enough of these? I have a (probably unhealthy) addiction to these things.

So yeah let's talk about it. Any particular preferences to the peanut butter, jelly or bread? I like me just the classic creamy JIF, Welch's strawberry jelly, and white bread. I used to make a smoothie when my jaw was wired shut with a blended PB&J in a glass of milk. Sooooo good.

Kinda like this:

Try it if you haven't.

Never dug jelly (I know, shocking coming from me).

But you give me good smooth peanut butter on some super soft potato bread and I'm a happy guy.

Or better yet, replace the jelly with some crisps.

PB&J cupcakes. Cupcakes filled with jelly, with a peanut butter frosting, all topped with a chocolate covered pretzel. My sister made them for my birthday a couple years back. They were SO good.

Wow, I haven't had potato bread in so long, I forgot it existed. Need to get me some...

For PB&J, the bread needs to be either soft white or wheat bread. Sorry, but no other bread will do for this kind of sammich. Smooth peanut butter is best. Most kinds of fruit jam or jelly are okay, with the exception of marmelade. Homemade is often best.

I forgot to mention that they were banana bread cupcakes.

Being a broke ass college student, PB&J has become quite the delicacy for me and one that I enjoy quite often. Its fast, cheap and pretty satisfying.

I prefer the Reeses brand peanut butter and Welches Grape Jam on maier's italian bread.

You eat PB&J three times a week? Or you eat food only three times a week?

Sometimes I think that I am the only person in the world who hates peanut butter, but since this is an appreciation thread, I will digress.

Neither. He eats 3 days out of the week. So there's only 4 left.

This thread is a stark reminder of the fact that, in my 8 years or so associated with these forums, I don't think there has ever been a time when I have half-way agreed with Kev on anything. Ever. Not once. It is either complete 100% agreement or complete 100% disagreement. There is no middle ground.

Bosk when you introduced me to Nutella, I went out and bought two jars. They were gone in a week.

SO GOOD

I forgot about that. Yeah, we usually buy the 2-pack at Costco.

I remember when Nutella was "underground" and not many people in the U.S. knew about it. Now that it's all mainstream, I don't know if I like it any more. There's nothing worse than a sandwich spread selling out like that.

Orbert · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2012, 02:14:30 PM »

Nutella tastes good, but damn it is so bad for you. It's like 9000 calories per bite and each gram contain three grams of fat. True story!

Anyway, I can't deal with jelly, but peanut butter and jam, or preferably preserves, makes me very happy. When I get home late after rehearsal, I grab a PB&J or two and a big glass of milk and I'm all set. There might even be leftovers from whatever my wife made for dinner, doesn't matter, my mouth is already ready for those PB&Js.

Individually they are great, but I always found mixing the two a bit yuk to be honest.

My favourite bread for french toast. Potato bread plus some cardamom in the egg mix is a great way to go!

Ever try jelly and regular butter? My dutch friend showed me and that's pretty good too.

Peanut butter: Natural is the only way to go
Jelly: Strawberry Preserves, TYVM
Bread: Nature's Own Wheat

However... grilled PB&Js are truly the best them.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #24 on:** November 30, 2012, 06:46:01 PM »

Deep fried Uncrustables.

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

lordxizor · « **Reply #25 on:** November 30, 2012, 06:48:38 PM »

My 3 year old would eat PB&J sandwiches 5 times a day if we let him.

I like crunchy PB with strawberry preserves on the whole grainiest bread you can find. None of that boring styrofoamy soft white crap.

Rattlehead · « **Reply #26 on:** November 30, 2012, 06:52:21 PM »

Good stuff... my ideal PB&J would be on a nice soft, fresh wheat bread with the crust of course

Adami · « **Reply #27 on:** November 30, 2012, 06:54:33 PM »

They had this specific potato bread in Chicago that I swear I could eat with peanut butter all day long.

Sadly they don't make that kind in St. Louis, so I found a less good, but okay brand. However for the last few days, no stores have it.

Help me DTF, you're my only hope!

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #28 on:** November 30, 2012, 06:55:21 PM »

White or Wheat bread, Homemade strawberry jelly, and crunchy peanut butter (probably Skippy's). Maybe some honey.

Peanut Butter and honey sandwiches are awesome too.

Yep. It's amazing how much honey you can mix into PB and still have it spread just as smoothly.

Also, did Nature's Own stop making potato bread altogether or is this a regional casualty? It's been like 10 years since I've seen it anywhere and I hate having to resort to buying those "craft" type loaves like Pepperidge Farm and Oroweat make. The ones that have paper-thin slices and have like only 15 or so non-end slices per loaf. Fuck that noise.

BAM

Those are gross.

Peanut butter is one of the greatest foods in the world and I eat it just about every day in some form or another. I had a PB&J for lunch today. Some days it will be PB&B(anana). Some days I just eat spoonfuls from the jar. Some days I make cookies or peanut sauce for my noodles/stir fry or whatever else I'm in the mood for. Some nights it's peanut butter beer. I just love it so much.

Don't like peanut butter or jelly.

I like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. That is my extent of peanut butter love.

What's even worse is peanut butter and that nasty fluffer nutter shit.

MetalMike06 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 30, 2012, 07:48:58 PM »

Used to like PBJs, but I stopped eating bread and legumes (that of course includes peanuts/PB), so for a snack sometimes I just have a big spoonful of almond butter. Still pretty good. I like it more than PB.
