Spaceman Spiff Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Went out to the store today while at work and brought back makings for PB&J and I asked my buddy if he wanted me to make him one, too. He said yes, then proceeded to bust my balls for making it wrong. I left the crust on and didn't cut it in half. Whatever. So that made me think...what's the most popular way to make a PB&J sandwich? It's a multiple choice poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I usually eat it whole but like it when it's cut in half. I will typically spread the peanut butter with a knife on one half, and the jelly with a spoon on the other. edit- I'm also a chunky peanut butter fan.

rictus58 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 you neglected options for Chunky vs. Creamy. How can I decide the best way without an option for which type of Peanut butter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Harris Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Are you a Big Brother or something? Cut in half and no crust, your buddy can't be older than 8 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Skippy, Grape Jelly, Peanut Butter spread first, spread on half only, crust, cut in half (can eat whole also). Only children don't eat crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I prefer Pater Pan. But really any of them work. With crust...as pj says..no crust is for children. Besides what grown man does that ? Welch's Grape Jam (Not jelly) Jam spreads better. Peanut Butter on first, only one half needs to dressed with both toppings. I will add... that I love it most on lightly toasted bread so that the PB&J melts a little on the warm bread, and the slight toasting of the bread gives it more texture.

rictus58 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 chunky Pb on both pieces of bread. I prefer raspberry jam. Jelly sucks. you can't spread something that acts like Jello. I never cut sandwich in 1/2. ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_Edwards_Fan Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I gotta agree on the lightly toasted. Also, no love for crushed up chips on it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Jif Peanut Butter, Grape Jelly, Both Sides, With Crust, not cut. And some cold milk.... Is it weird that my mother puts cheese on hers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I gotta agree on the lightly toasted. Also, no love for crushed up chips on it too? I don't dip my chips in PB or Jam...so no for me, sounds like ketchup on eggs...which I know people eat...but not me. chunky Pb on both pieces of bread. I prefer raspberry jam. Jelly sucks. you can't spread something that acts like Jello. I never cut sandwich in 1/2. ever. I like the chunky PB sometimes...but normally on some crackers, not on bread so much. I would eat it, but I wouldn't make it that way. I didn't address the cutting of a sandwich. I don't do it either. Don't get me wrong when I buy a big sandwich at a restaurant and it is cut...that's fine. It's just not something that I ever do when making any type of sandwich.

AsburySkinsFan Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Smooth Jiff on one slice (spread thick) Blackberry jam w/ seeds (grape if not) on other slice thickly applied Italian bread with crust Not cut Cutting is for girls...cutting diagonally is for seven year old girls.

Ricky Tan Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like Jif. The Peter Pan kind always seemed a little too creamy. I think Jif is a little thicker, which makes for a better sandwich imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 1. There's no better P&J sandwich than Honey Roasted Peanut butter with Strawberry Jam.. -I usually spread two thick coats of Peanut butter with a light coat of Jelly/Jam. don't want to taste too much Jelly, IMO..

JimboDaMan Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I usually roll my eyes when I see complaints about the Pussification of America. But a grown man cutting off the crust of a jelly sandwich? I think that qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Here's a tip to spice up that sandwich. Add a couple of slices of seasoned roast beef, horseradish sauce, and provolone. Hold the jelly and peanut butter. Voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botched Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Damn, I did neglect that. Honestly, I don't know anyone who prefers chunky. You should be banned, like, now. Mods? Some action here? This is serious ****. Nothing, nothing is worse than creamy peanut butter. It's peanut butter with the best part taken out. It should be outlawed. I'm offended by it's existence. Oops. I was so blinded with rage I forgot to answer the OP. Peter Pan Honey Roast Crunchy. Any non-grape jelly is acceptable. The crust stays on. WHEAT bread. Not cut. None of this is debatable.

thebluefood Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like to spread the PB on both sides to set a good foundation. Then, I take some strawberry jelly and spread that on one side. I've found that a 2:1 PB-J ratio is optimal. Also, have you guys ever tried a toasted PB and J sandwich. It's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Another absolutely key factor - a tall glass of ice cold milk. Nothing worse than the letdown of building a beautiful PB&J, then reaching into the fridge to find... NO MILK!!!?!? You then eat your sandwich, the bitter resentment washed down with water.
