OT: Peanut Butter & Jelly

butter & jelly sandwich. I insist it's creamy peanut butter and grape
jelly, while she'll only go for crunchy peanut butter and strawberry
jelly.
Thoughts?

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!
creamy peanut butter is for bastards,

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.

OK, I guess you're not *completely* evil...

But not whole either. Whole tastes like cow tit. You can practically smell
the fleshy udder nipples. I go for 2%, it's the perfect balance of
drinkability and tit flavor. But honestly I don't drink milk that often
anymore because it makes me phlegmy. And that's not fun.

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
cringe. But not that sharp, harsh cringe like nails on a chalkboard. This
is a loose, squishy cringe...kind of like watching those contests where
people mix a whole bunch of gross shit together and eat it. (shudder).
I *have* had peanut butter and banana, though. Can I still play with you
guys?

I'll go one better, in fact. When we finally get our Midwest Forhead
get-together together, I'll make everybody a round of super-bitchin' PB&Js.
With heavy-duty bread and good preserves - the works.

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)
without having had a PB&J?
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?
The purple kind, right?

try any of it.

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
mid-70s isn't what it used to be. I don't know if I was ever able to get
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.
