Title: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich appreciation

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:(https://healthiersteps.com/Portals/0/pb%20and%20j%20smoothie.jpg)


Try it if you haven't. :drool:

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.

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.

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.  :lol

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.
Title: Re: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich appreciation

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are like the System of a Down of food for me. I forget it exists for a while (normally 2-3 months) and then one day I suddenly want it again. When I eat it, it's delicious, so I eat a ton of them. Then I'm sick of them and stop. Then the cycle repeats.

I kind of want one now.

I only buy natural PB, no additives. Obviously love the classic PB&J, it's the perfect workday breakfast for me, goes great with unsweetened coffee.
But I also like mixing the PB with some melted chocolate, chilling it, then eating it with a spoon.

It just occurred to me that PB&J can be healthy or really unhealthy. Organic PB is a great source of healthy fats, whereas JIF is full of nasties. Homemade jam/jelly can count as a fruit source, but Welch's is basically candy. And then there's the advantage of wheat bread (complex carbs, fiber) over white.
Title: Re: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich appreciation

PB&J on toast, yes.  Grilled, no.

And jam totally wrecks jelly as a fruit source.  Jelly is basically the juice (which has some nutrients) plus sugar and stuff to make it gel.  Jam at least is the fruit itself cooked down.  Preserves are the best.  I love the chunks of strawberries lumping up my sandwich.  Crunchy peanut butter, lumpy jam, grainy bread.  The makings of a meal.

Every once in a while, we grab a small jar of apricot or raspberry or some other funky fruit jam or preserves for a nice change of pace from the standard strawberry and grape which we always have on hand.  It's cool.  Pear, peach, blackberry, I don't discriminate.  Gotta try 'em all!

PBJ rocks.  Personally, I go with strawberry instead of grape.  Preferably my parents' homemade strawberry freezer jam.  For PB, it's Crazy Richard's.  After having eaten that and realizing how good peanut butter could taste, I haven't once gone back to regular mass produced peanut butter.  Now when I eat regular peanut butter, it tastes vaguely peanutty and extremely sweet.

Crazy Richard's is a little on the expensive side, but it is all natural.  There is ONE ingredient on the label.  Peanuts.

When you open it, there's a layer of oil on top of a layer of solids.  You have to get a hard butter knife and mix them together.  The end result is worth the effort - a peanut butter that tastes like nothing but peanuts.  Sounds odd to say that, but when you taste the difference, you'll see how particularly not-peanutty most peanut butter tastes, in comparison.

My dad made peanut butter and banana all the time.  Sliced the banana into disks and placed them onto the peanut butter-covered bread.  I works better than I thought, I suppose because bananas are fruit, but given the choice, I still go for the sweetness of jam.

When you think about it, it's pretty amazing that peanut butter goes so well with so many other things.  Seriously, I wonder why that is.  There's something about it that makes it like the universal sandwich ingredient.

Smooth peanut butter and either raspberry or strawberry preserves (get that grape shit outta here). Either white or wheat bread is acceptable. On rare occasions I will add some nutella to the mix as well (or sometimes i's just PB&N). Serve with a glass of milk and maybe some pretzel sticks.

Strawberry is in no way whatsoever better than grape. Those horrible crunchy pits instantly lose the battle for it.

Nah, that's just something they say in medical school.

After my heart surgery last year, I was going over my "revised diet" with one of my doctors.  Red meat is out, any dairy that's not lowfat or nonfat, fried foods, a huge list of things.  I said "I might as well just eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches three meals a day" and my doctor told me that that's actually not such a bad idea.  It's pretty balanced, and the fats in peanut butter are the kind that your body can process pretty easily.  As long as I'm reasonably active, I'll metabolize it.  So I work out three days a week and enjoy my PB&Js.

The cliche: as a non-American/whoever else eats it kid, I always thought jelly = jello. I can't believe it hasn't been posted in the thread yet really :biggrin: And then I wondered how the fuck does that work. And then I found out, several years ago, jelly = jam in this case, or at least what we call jam.

We don't have peanut butter here, at least it's not very common - I tried it once and didn't like it. Some people I know do eat regular butter + homemade jam and swear by it. I was never a fan of jam, so I never liked that either.

I'll get the hell out of the thread, I promise.

Yeah, I think they are too, but what is usually called jelly, we call... a word similar to jam, so I always associated those two. And what is called jam, I think here that's the thing that's called something similar to marmelade or however you spell that :D

Post by: Orbert on December 07, 2012, 05:07:47 PM
Jelly is just the juice with pectin to make it "gel" plus added sugar.
Jam is made from whole fruit, cooked down and mashed up, with added sugar.
Preserves are much like Jam, but not totally mashed up.  Chunks of fruit in the jam.

These are the common American definitions anyway.

I'm telling you, peanut butter is the universal sandwich ingredient.  There are things that I'd never try putting on the same sandwich as peanut butter, maybe wouldn't even think of putting on a sandwich in the first place, but I'm sure the result is awesome anyway.

I would never think of combining fried egg and PB, and honestly it sounds pretty disgusting.  But I bet it's great, just because apparently peanut butter and anything is great.


New challenge:  Create a peanut butter and something sandwich which is not awesome.  Only rule is that it must be a food that you actually like.  No fair using something that's disgusting to begin with.
