Who knew that making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could spawn a debate, and yet, it has.
The question is…
**** Which of these pictures looks correct to you when you make a PB& J sandwich?
Sandwich #1…………………………………. or ……………………………………………….Sandwich #2?
The funny part is that one way probably looks completely normal to you.
At least it does to me.
🙂
Apparently the rest of the world does not share my desire for order and neatness and actually prefers to spread the jelly right on top of the peanut butter. I say CRAZINESS! Pure craziness! You have 2 slices of bread, so logically one should go on one half and the other on the other half.
Right?
No?
What?
Ok, tell me… how do YOU make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Woah, woah, woah. Is it even possible to spread jelly on top of the peanut butter? Why would you do that? It seems like it would be more difficult. Two pieces of bread, two toppings – one goes on each slide of bread. That is the correct way to do it. 🙂
It has been so long since I’ve put jelly on my peanut butter that I don’t even remember. However, the one with both on the same slice looks more correct to me, so I suspect that is how Dad does it. And I do seem to remember kind of swirling the jam around in the peanut butter once it is on. The one with just jelly on the bread just looks wrong to me. Sorry guys!
I spread the peanut butter on both pieces of bread and then I put jelly on the top of only one of the pieces (I KNOW!– scandalous) and then put the pieces together.
I don’t know why I do it that way, but part of it is that I I don’t like having the jelly soak into the bread.
Right for me: Peanut button on one side and jelly on the other!
Justin agrees, except he thinks that there’s too much jelly on the one. (I think he’s wrong there.)
I heard an interesting one lately: When do you drink the drink with your meal? During the meal or at the end?
My coworker grew up with always being told to drink her drink after she was done with her food. That way she was filled up on food and not drink and thus not so quickly hungry again. I thought that was SO ODD.
Now, I actually do that sometimes, but mostly out of my hands being full holding my plate or because I was so distracted by the food being delicious that I didn’t get to the drink until the food was gone. But MOST of the time, I eat a few bites and take a drink to wash it down.
My coworker said that she does have her kids drink with the meal mostly because if the cups sat there full during the whole meal, they’d get knocked over and spilled. Which, I recall, was a familiar problem with our dinners growing up — Kool-Aid everywhere!
What do you think?
Don’t flip a lid or anything, but *gasp* I do it both ways. Totally depends on my mood. But jelly is nasty, so I only do them for the children.
I agree with Shannon – I don’t like jelly, especially the consistency of it. Jam is okay, though, but I like my peanut butter without anything very sweet on it. Raisins sometimes, or maybe a sliced banana. But 90% of the time just peanut butter, because that is what I really like the taste of!
#1. But my kids are into peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches these days, so we forgo the jelly altogether.
#1 is the way Tim does it, itsn’t it. 🙂
I’m not so concerned about where the jelly goes, I’m looking at that bread! So very depleted of any color.
