I bet a PB, nanner, fluff, honey, and apricot preserve sammich would knock the Earth off its axis.

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.

And that's why my peanut butter and bacon sandwich is so awesome - bacon is the other thing that goes with everything. With their powers combined, they form the Captain Planet of sandwiches.

But ironically, it's terrible for your heart. But it will have you breaking wind and eventually firing dirt into water.

Guys I just had a chunky Skippy and orange bell/jolokia jelly sammich. Mmmmm, spicy.

Just skimmed this thread, so not sure if this place has been mentioned yet, but I think it's one of my all time favorite restaurants. I was just there a couple of weeks ago actually:

They even make their own brand of peanut butter. I have a jar in my cabinet at all times.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #113 on:** December 04, 2012, 10:17:13 PM »

Zep, that brand is the shit. We have 3 jars in the cabinet. I think I'm gonna make a couple sandwiches for work tonight

bout to crash · « **Reply #114 on:** December 04, 2012, 10:20:18 PM »

Oh fuck, I never realized they had a sandwich shop. I may have to check it out if I get to NYC on my next eastward trip. Reading through the menu makes me drool.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #115 on:** December 04, 2012, 10:37:46 PM »

Yup. It's a tiny place on Sullivan Street near NYU. Maybe 5 or 6 tables. I always stop in when I'm in the area. They also have some pretty fantastic deserts.

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.

You had heart surgery?

Was your heart just too full of awesome or something and it couldn't handle the immense amount of awesome?

I'm going to get at least one of their fine products - too bad I live too far away to go to the sammich shop.

Something like that. I had a triple bypass last spring. Heart disease runs in my family, and like a total moron, I didn't really take care of myself despite knowing that. I'm doing better now.

Had a bagel with PB&J on it today for breakfast. YEAH!

Orbert · « **Reply #121 on:** December 07, 2012, 11:31:33 AM »

Got home last night after rehearsal, starving, looking forward to whipping up a few PB&Js. No bread.

No bread? No problem! Pulled out a couple of hamburger buns, spread that PB&J on thick, enjoyed with a nice cold one (tall glass of milk, that is).

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

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.

Adami · « **Reply #124 on:** December 07, 2012, 04:03:43 PM »

I don't eat jelly, or jam but I thought I read somewhere that they were different things.

Could be wrong though.

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

Orbert · « **Reply #126 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.

And the best of all is strawberry preserves.

So, what the fuck does a huckleberry taste like if y'all don't mind me hounding y'all about it?

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #132 on:** December 08, 2012, 11:13:57 PM »

I wouldn't know how to describe it. Pick up some Huckleberry flavored stuff. Salt water taffy or jam if you can find it.
