Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and other lockdown madness

Sheep_shear

I usually have a couple of cream cracker with peanut butter on them after my main lunch. Today I was looking at them and then a thought entered my head - "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches". I'm in my thirties, grew up watching American tv crap shows and the kids are always eating them. I've been aware of them for three decades yet not once have I even thought about having one. Why not?

I think I'm gonna give one a go.

What weird food has your lockdown madness led you to?

Toasted sambos done on a George Foreman grill. Cheese (lots) olives apple lettuce tomato any leftover meat sausage. Mmmmm!

I bought a bottle of mead online. I thought I would be sitting outside in the Sun in the garden drinking my mead being all sophisticated. Turns out mead tastes like piss.

What's called "jelly" in America isn't what we know as jelly, it's basically jam made from juice only, without any fruity bits. Much like they way over there, crisps are "chips" and chips are "fries".

I've discovered asparagus, sweet-potato and emmental cheese sauce pastries in the Aldi, and I'm aytin' them like some sort of demented eejit. With portions of meat, of course.

I only know what Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches are because they are Bret Hart's favourite food*

Jam, OP, jam.

Crunchy peanut butter smothering a slice of Irish brown bread(proper stuff, not slice pan shoite) with a covering of raspberry conserve and a mug of coffee...nuff said!

Forget your jam try peanut butter and golden syrup. And don’t knock it till you’ve tried it

So, not really like crisps/chips at all because , as you say, jelly and jam are actually two different things. We also have jelly here but it's usually homemade rather than commercially produced.

Redcurrant jelly would be a commonly available commercially produced jelly.
Crabapple jelly, a well known homemade jelly.

Don't pedant a pedant!! ðŸ˜

I tried penaut butter and jam (blackcurrent) on a cracker. I shall not be repeating that.

A cracker?

Not sure about that. Try it on bread would be my advice.

My mum used make me peanut butter and jam sandwiches for school. Really lovely. I think I may have switched to butter and jam when I went to college (I was making my own sandwiches at this point). I tried pb &j again a few years back for old times sake and it just wasn't the same. Not sure if that's because I couldn't find the old brand of peanut butter we used to get though.

In America, they don't have cows. They paint horses to look like cows.

Only in Hollywood. In Kansas, they use ducks - that looks much better on account of the huge flat expanse of land. It's a little-known true fact that if you drive as far as the horizon in Kansas you'll still have half as far again to go.

KungPao

What kind of twisted sicko thought to put peanut butter and jam between bread?

I tasted it once, awful as expected. Tasted like bacon somehow, but in a bad way.

Another little known fact is that, you can drive for 48 hours straight in Kansas and not reach Kansas City because of the aforementioned horizonal issues.

The characters in Sesame Street have been talking about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches since the early 70's.

I always pictured chivers strawberry jelly.

I recommend peanut butter and banana sambos

Apart from jam, jelly, marmalade preserves can be pickles and chutneys too.
It's like all the words for rain or snow - they're required to describe different variations.

Attempted lots of homemade breads with varying success over the lockdown. Worst was naan bread. You'd have needed Jaws from James Bond teeth to eat them.
