How long do peanut butter sandwiches last?
Mr. Nonsense
sandwiches.
I make my own whole wheat bread with a bread machine. Basic simple
ingredients. The peanut butter I buy has only peanuts and salt as
ingredients. How long will peanut butter sandwiches stay edible if
kept at room temperature?

In my house... about 20 minutes at most.
10 minutes if you add strawberry preserves.

Why not bring a jar of peanut butter and the bread and assemble as required?
Mr. Nonsense
well how long does home made bread last outside?
RegForte
Higher fat formulations keep longer. Also, using a preferment and a
long, cool rise helps a lot. I can get bread to keep as long as 5
days using these methods.
Store bought bread always lasts longer though. Who knows what they do
to it to make it do that.
Mr. Nonsense
ok thanks. my recipes are usually low-fat, but I will increase the oil
for this time. Do you think toasting my slices will increase or
decrease their "shelf life"?
George
Depends, are you in the northern or southern hemisphere and is the flour
you used stone ground?
Chemo the Clown
Geez...depends on the temp and humidity. Are planning on keeping the
bread in a zip loc or just in a paper bag. Got a cooler you can take?
That would surely help.
RegForte
It depends on your own tastes. Do you prefer soggy toasted bread
or soggy untoasted bread?
It's not a health issue, it's a subjective taste issue. PB, jelly
and bread won't make you sick if kept at room temp. Within reason.
sf
The peanut butter will last longer than your bread. You decide.

I bet you still have time to conduct your own experiment. How are we
supposed to know?

Duh, I know but how long? I dont understand why all these people are
bothering to respond without knowing a ball park estimate to my
question. Will it last 2 days or 5 days?
Chemo the Clown
how about 2-5 days!! Like I said...it depends on where your at. If you
going to the artic then it'll probably last for years. If you're going
into the jungle then maybe 2 day at most. Geezus!!!
Dave Bugg
Each will last exactly 109 hours, 17 minutes, and 32 seconds from the time
the cover slice is laid onto the peanut butter slathered side. You must
subtract 14 minutes if the sandwich is parted into halves.

where in the world did i say I was going to the jungle or the
arctic???!! Is it is so hard for people to assume "average" conditions
in the absence of specifics. Geezus!!

"average" conditions do not apply in matters of life and death. Like food
poisioning.
So, in answering your question the worst possibilities have to be taken
in account.
Just a matter of care, and thoughtfulness.
Why to react so upset ??

1 day. Would YOU want to eat a fucking 2-day-old peanut butter sandwich?
Jesus.

I like peanut butter sandwiches once in a while but five days worth on a
train sounds about as much fun as riding uphill to hell on a bicycle
with flat tires.

Gloria P
It will last as long as your bread stays un-moldy. How are we
supposed to estimate that? Take a few days' worth of bread and when it
gets moldy, spread the p'butter on the crackers you should also take
with you if you insist on this diet.
If you take a small cooler with lots of frozen bottles of water you
could take a few hard-boiled eggs for variety.
Doesn't the train ever stop for a half hour so you could run into the
station for a food break? Will there be a dining car?
You are asking us to solve a problem you have control over.

Thanks Gloria... I LoLed at your description. I will remember the
bicycle statement for a future use. a:-)

none of your business
Oh live a little, spend $5 a day and treat yourself to a fresh
sandwich on the train. It will beat a 4 day old peanut butter sandwich
on stale bread, anyway.
Homemade bread will be stale within 24 hours, and moldy within 48,
particularly stored in a plastic bag with something moist and prone to
mold, like ground peanuts.
If you're trying to save money, eating peanut butter sandwiches for 5
days straight on stale and/or moldy bread isn't worth the savings. If
you're just a boring eater... well, then go for it, I guess. it won't
kill you assuming you aren't allergic to peanuts and/or mold.
You would be almost better off using bread and peanut butter with
preservatives if you're going to keep them that long.
Becca
Your homemade wheat bread sounds wonderful, but it does not have a 5-day
shelf life. Consider taking peanut butter and crackers with you,
crackers have a longer shelf life. Have a wonderful trip.

Is that in the northern or southern hemisphere and what predominant
direction of travel is assumed?
George
Your supposed to have fun with the troll--not take it seriously...
RegForte
Duh? Go fuck yourself.
And enjoy your week old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches :)
Tracy
I make a 50/50 whole wheat/white bread in a machine and it easily lasts
5 days. When it is really hot I keep it in the fridge - but regular heat
- which for me is 70-80 F - I leave it out in in a big zipper bag
slightly open. We typically go through one 1.5 pound loaf a week.
I think individual sandwiches would be fine - wrapped - as long as the
train is air conditioned. The bread could get a little mushy though.
Maybe wrap each one in wax paper instead of plastic. I really don't know
which would be better.

My only question about peanut butter sandwiches 5 days in a row is
WHY? It's not like he's going to be nowhere near civilization during
that time.

Right!
I can't imagine being held captive on a train for five days. Let alone stop
at a town without a general store. LOL!!!

finally, some facts! but do these same measurements hold for the southern
hemisphere?

Average is what? Average where? Europe? China? US? Bora Bora? What is
an average length of string??

Where in the Southern hemisphere?

Your bread will get moldy before the peanut butter goes rancid.
Commercial breads have preservatives; they would be fine for 5 days.
When I was making bread in my bread machine, it would never last 5
days at room temperature without getting moldy. Since it's just a
short trip, use commercial bread this time - 5 days, no worries.

Probably 2-3 days. After that the bread is likely to become moldy.

Here's a thought, find out for yourself. Make the bread. Make a couple of
sandwiches. Leave them out wrapped however you're going to take them on the
train. Inspect after 2 days. Inspect after 5.
I don't know why in the hell you think other people are going to know the
answer to your stupid question anyway. Who the hell takes peanut butter
sandwiches for a 5 day train trip.

Well, most people here would not take peanut butter sandwiches on a
train, but I know a vegetarian or two who gets nervous about food
choices when traveling. One couple brought several bags of food with
them on a cruise. It was their first time.

As long as you can manage to keep the PBJs away from funnel web spiders and
