I'm partial to chunky with red rasberry or blackberry jam (seedless, por
favor). Oddly, there is no mention of PB&J in my "Professional Cooking"
book. Wonder why?

Grape, creamy, on Italian bread. Although apple is good in a pinch. Lard
is never an option.
Your wife is obviously possessed by Satan (or Santa...I get confused).

I think the type of peanut butter is a subjective, personal, almost religious
preference, and as such can't be used as a criterion for identifying the one
true Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. That said, what kind of heathen are
you, preferring *creamy* "peanut butter"? :-) Crunchy is OBVIOUSLY the
superior, yeah verily the ONLY real choice. Hell, without chunks of peanuts,
you really don't know WHAT went into that peanut butter, do ya? EXTRA crunchy
is even better.
Grape, yeah, that's alright, at least if it's Concord grape. Strawberry is
fine, too. I've developed quite a taste for really chunky preserves of the
raspberry, strawberry, and/or black cherry varieties, frequently mixed on the
same sandwich.
And white bread is right out - you gotta use a good sturdy, stout, multi-grain
bread, or at least a good cracked wheat. Pepperidge Farm is good if you only
have the chain-store brands to deal with, but a good bakery-fresh wheat-berry
or oatmeal bread - preferably three slices - is the ultimate.
Now, do you put butter on the PB&J as well as peanut butter? And toasted
bread, or straight outta the bag? If I'm *really* making the PB&J the main
meal of the day (and this has happened), I toast the center slice for the
three-banger, and leave the other two non-toasted.

Strawberry PRESERVES, she no doubt means. Which would make it a
"peanut butter and preserves" sandwitch.
I accept your version as the default PB&J.

No thank you, but I do have something to offer on this topic. It should be
Skippy Super Chunk peanut butter, and Trappist Monks' Blueberry Preserves.
Anything less is fucking bullshit.
Bread, by the way, is optional. I prefer a big spoon, loaded up with PB and
then dunked into the preserves - yum!

What kind of *sick fuck* are you....
Creamy peanut butter will clear skin blemishes, add 3" to your cock & add 30
years to your life. *Crunchy* peanut butter will turn you into a quivering
mass of radioactive sludge in 2 seconds.
Almost any jelly/jam/preserves is acceptable, except maybe raspberry that's
loaded up with those little seeds, or Orange Marmalade with a lot of the
skin, but even those will work in a pinch.

But not whole either. Whole tastes like cow tit. You can practically smell

drinkability and tit flavor. But honestly I don't drink milk that often

What I prefer to eat - Crunchy peanut butter, to be sure. Cherry jelly is
tops but strawberry would do, too. Grape only in a pinch.
But the "J" I think of when I hear "PB&J" is grape.
I haven't either. That doesn't make us *married*, does it?
The thought of peanut butter and jelly together just kind of makes me

Wow. You pod-people are making me feel all not-at-homey. How can anybody have
made it twenty-odd or thirty-odd years into living (at least in this country)

PB&Banana is OK - I have those once in a while, too, but they sure don't
replace the real thing.
Could be worse, though. One of my housemates in grad school (a bio-physics
doctoral student, no dummy, she) regularly ate Peanut butter and TOMATO
sammiches. There's cognitive dissonance of the palate for ya.

Sounds good to me! Hmm, what kind of wine goes with PB&J?

I think I stopped drinking milk about the time I moved out here to
SoCal. I think the only reason I ever drank it before was that Mom kept
buying the stuff. I've never been a big fan of leche. I'll happily drink
milk which has been used for my cereal (Frosted Mini Wheats rule!) and
those Carnation Instant Breakfasts (Chocolate Malt only, s'il
vous-plait) are pretty damn good, too...so it's not without its
non-culinary applications.

Yep - those with anaphylactic reasons can definitely sit out. Man, that would
so *suck* having that peanut allergy. I'm not really a major peanut fan
outside of PB&Js and peanut M&Ms (okay, and the odd Snickers bar, which
satisfies me), but knowing how many things have tiny trace amounts of peanut
oil in 'em, it'd be a *major* ass-pain to have to avoid it at all times.

I vaguely remember a flavoured spread but...um...my memory of the

my Mom to buy it. It sounds like something I'd've wanted her to get.

Ohhh, I remember those. I still see them around, sometimes. I've seen PB
and banana spread, which to me seems like it'd be nasty, and then of
course PB with grape jelly. The oddest one I've seen (and actually
bought) was a chocolate and orange spread. I thought it was a
little...um...unpleasent, but the wife appreciated its flavour and
texture more than I, so I left it to her to eat it up.

There are also a number of industrial uses for the peanut.
I once fished over 100 feet of 12 AWG wire through conduit strapped to
the ceiling of a cheap-ass filter/transformer manufacturer that paid
me REALLY SHITTY wages. MAN, those guys were cheap! It took me a year
and a half to get a raise of $0.60/hr., and two months later, they cut
everyone's wages by 10%. My wages weren't even 10% above minimum wage,
so basically I could have been flipping hamburgers at McDonalds for
the same scratch.

using nothing more than a peanut. That's right, electrical
installation via peanut. There were four different colors of wire, and
it was very psychadelic. Oh, and I used some electrical tape. Cool,
huh?
Come to think of it, there was also a roll of nylon twine used, and a
rather attractive vaccum cleaner.
OK, the peanut was actually made out of styrofoam... maybe this isn't
a very good story.
Didn't someone manage to compress one of those things into phonograph

You know, that harkens me back to the first time *I* tasted cow tit. I was but a
wee lad, not more than 10. I was minding my own business, wacking off in the
haymow with a 13 yr old Playboy magazine, when *she* appeared. Her black and
white spotted hide, her dewey bovine eyes, and those udders! So round, so firm,
so full of milk. It was like they were calling to me. I was kind of hesitant at
first - who isn't? - but after kicking aside the calf that was suckling there, I
dove in. Slurp City, man! Sure, I tried snorting it first, but that was too
messy, and would give away my actions, so I made the move to mainlining - right
in the mouth, man! Sure, I was a casual user for a while. Doing just for the
occasional thrill. But then SUmmer came, and I had to be on the farm all day,
every day. After that I was hooked - I couldn't go more than a day without the
taste of udder in my mouth. When I moved to LA to join a band, I'd tell myself -
"OK - this time I'm going 2 days in a row without it" "This time I'm making it
to sunset". But by then, I was hopelessly hooked. I'd drive around the city for
hours, and man, I went to some scary farms that you wouldn't send your worst
enemy to. Gang cows, Mexican cows, man, I didn't care. I even started sharing
udders with others "suckies". But then when my bandmate, Hillel, died from udder
madness, I decided it was time to clean up. ANd I did. And I wrote a song called
"Under the Bridge" and got me some tattoos and some washerboard abs and the rest
is rock and roll history.

J. D.
I'm not a Unitarian, but I play one on Usenet. There are three things
needed. Bread. Peanut butter. Jelly. The bread may be toasted or
untoasted. It may be white, rye, French, partha, chapatti, nan, or a pile
of croutons. Or even a pita pocket. Other types of bread are acceptable
too. Heck, you can even use a Ritz. The peanut butter, however, must be
smooth, chunky, or semi-smooth. The jelly can be of any variety, or jam may
be substituted. Or marmalade. Love that marmalade even more than Alan. If
all else fails, use raspberry preserves. Or some other variety.
The real trick is what you leave out. No lettuce. And certainly no Swiss
cheese or anchovies. Hold the pickles, hold the special sauce. You just
gotta stick to the list above.
Actually, they "may" contain peanuts. It's a guessing game, but nothing
that a shot of epinephrine won't cure for most people who care.
I read that on the label. You forgot the (tm) symbol.
You think that's a weird combination? Where I live, people eat frankfurters
with ketchup and insist on calling them hot dogs.

Mmmmmm...cow juice...
From April 1999 to May 2001, I reserved a section in my fridge for a gallon
of milk. I initially just didn't get to drinking it on time, but after its
expiration date, I figgered 'wot the hell, lets leave it un opened and see
what we find.' I thought it'd go bad in a few days or weeks. As those 2
years passed, people came and went and it just sat there, unopened. Didn't
smell, didn't swell up or anything. The top of the jug got a bit thick and
cheezy where some air inevitably got in, but the stuff stayed remarkably
fluid.
I could have let this go on, but I had to rent some rooms out and I knew
this little experiment had to go. :^(
So I took it in the back of my truck for a few days. Finally, after being in
the sun it started to thicken and turn weird--separating into cheese and
gray water basically. I went to my friend's parking space at work -- an
underground garage at a big mall. I went and poured the stuff out in a ring
around his car, in a ring I dubbed the 'milky way.' By this point the stuff
reeked like mad, so I had to get the hell out. It poured out in chunks.
Eeeeeeewwwww.

Had my first liver and onions there. That wasn't a pleasurable. Memorable,

Isn't peanut butter kind of hard to find in Europe? I've always heard
Americans moving to Europe are warned to bring their own peanut
butter.
Something I've found that most Europeans don't care for is root beer.
I'm told it tastes like a certain popular brand of cough medicine !

Don't know about mainland Europe, but here in that funny island off the
coast of France, it's easy enough to find. All supermarket chains have
their own (usually crap) versions, but also usually stock Whole Earth
PB.
Grammar, however,
Is equally important:
It ought to be "your."

Another thing I enjoy is what I call a "loser sandwich", Peanut butter &
Cheddar Cheese...
Yum Yum

milk chocolate, and chocolate milk,

Horrors! Chocolate and peanut butter don't go together. It's just wrong!
All that yucky peanut butter could just as easily be replaced with even more
yummy chocolate. It's gotta be a sin.
Keep my M&M's plain!!!
Down with peanut M&M's!

My peanut butter iconoclasm story - when but a wee lad, my Dad suggested that I
try a PB, lettuce, and mayo sandwich. It was actually a lot better than it
sounds - until about the third one which was made in advance for a fishing trip
or something like that; when mayo and PB are left in direct contact for a few
hours, some kind of bizarre elmusification transaction occurs, yielding a weird
crust at the intersection. In retrospect, I think my Dad was messing with me -
he also suggested a chocolate ice cream and Fresca float, which _is_ as bad as
it sounds.
And here's a poem I wrote on the subject:
Peanut Butter
I love a new jar of peanut butter.
I open the lid, my heart all a-flutter,
Peel off the tamper-proof seal so carefully
To reveal the creamy smoothness beneath.
It looks like a still, muddy pond on a clear autumn day
Or one of those designer pool tables the color of clay
Or, if it's chunky, a light dappling of chunks
As though a breeze stirred the pond (or maybe more like
exposed-aggregate concrete).
Then, I plunge in the knife and pull a scoop out
The pond now disturbed (hey, maybe there's trout!)
Spread it all over a biscuit or bagel
And then, if I'm hungry, I eat it.
If I won the lottery, I'd buy a new jar every day
Take out the first scoop and throw the rest away
(And eat only the heads
From chocolate bunnies).

peanut butter is incredibly easy to find, from the tough gut crunchy
variation to the wimp's smooth stuff.

yes, I couln't stand root beer. it's indeed a bit like cough medicine.
I think you can actually feel your teeth melting when you drink that
stuff.

well, if you've seen Pulp fiction, you know we Dutch people eat our

In Seattle it's tartar sauce (for frenc fries, that is)

No.

Yes indeedy, but to do it _right_ you need mayo and black pepper in there
too.
Not in any way joking,

Grammar can bite me
It ain't no fun, you fuckers
Look, peanut butter!

"Bring their own peanut butter"??? What kind weak-willed
black-socks-and-sandals doughey-whitebread American can't go without
fucking *peanut butter* for a week or two? I know you're just
relaying what you heard, but PHEWWWW.
Anyway, who wants peanut butter when Nutella is much tastier, more
ubiquitous and is proven to eradicate hangovers when part of this
nutritious breakfast. Thank the heavens we can get that stuff in the
States now...
Oh yeah, and happy Frank Sinatra Day, everyone.

In Burlington, VT, specifically Nectar's (home of "the pork"), it's brown
gravy. And oh my God is it good. In fact I've ordered fries with brown
gravy elsewhere many times and it's just not the same as Nectar's. Mike
Gaito himself persuaded me to give it a go, and I am eternally grateful to
him for that.
