What's the best way to make a PB&J sandwich?

[skinsmarydu]

I gotta agree on the lightly toasted. Also, no love for crushed up chips on it too?

Love here. Skippy Super Chunk, Welch's grape jam, on lightly toasted white with Wavy Lays crushed. Crust, and not cut.
(A case of severe munchies coming on.)

Anyone here ever try the Elvis peanut butter and banana sandwich? Very good.

I thought that sandwich was supposed to be fried?

[Botched]

Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are highly underrated.

George Washington Carver intended on a smooth peanut butter. Not some jagged shell filled tomfoolery.

I'm pretty sure smooth peanut butter was his failed nut butter prototype. He probably threw a couple jars of it in the trash and some jealous white inventor who was digging through his ****, found it, copied it, and started selling it to clueless rubes who didn't know what real peanut butter should taste like.

I suppose it could be, but I just toast the bread.

JIF, grape jelly (welches), Arnold's Country White bread, grab two slices, open them so they are compliments of each other when put back together (in other words, so they line up. I hate it when people flip them the wrong way and you have uneven spots), put PB on left slice, lick remaining PB off knife. Rinse knife under hot water briefly, dry with paper towel. Spread jelly with knife on right slice. Put both slices together. Do not cut the sandwich under any circumstances.

When I eat it I pull the crusts off and eat them first (I like crusts), then I eat the rest of the sandwich.

I am 24 years old and I eat PBJ for at least 5 meals per week. It is something I can make quickly and take with me along with a banana and some water on my way out the door. I love it dearly.

I'm cool with people doing it a different way though. There isn't really a correct way to have a PBJ sandwich, it's up to whatever you enjoy.

Oh and potato chips in the middle is totally acceptable if you're in the mood for it. Especially kettle cooked chips.

Just a sidenote: eat the sandwich with the jelly on top, sometimes it can fall on your shirt, especially if you slather enough of it on.

Want to take it up about twenty notches? Substitute Eggo waffles for the toast

Oh, and I agree about the crunchy PB. Who in their right mind eats creamy? Unless you're 80 and have dentures, this is ridiculous

Peter Pan spread on 1 side, grape or Amish sour cherry jelly on the other side. No crusts, cut in triangles. I also like grilled cheese cut in triangles, the better to dip into tomato soup. Crusts stay on grilled cheese. My brother liked PB and mayo.

Try this some time, then thank me later. Butter two pieces of bread the same way you would a grilled cheese, put your peanut butter and jelly on however you like it, heat a skillet and grill the sandwich the same way you would a grilled cheese. Who cares how you cut it.

It takes effort.

But crispy bacon crumbles and sliced bananas on a tasted PB&J might be as close to ambrosia as a mortal can get,

x2 on grilled pb&j. Word of caution...eat it with a fork because i will burn the crap out of you.

Skippy, Grape Jelly, Peanut Butter spread first, spread on half only, crust, cut in half (can eat whole also).

Only children don't eat crust.

If I saw one of my friends actually take the time/effort to take the crust off I'm not sure I could take them seriously after.

Soak that sandwich in creme brulle firat and then cook it.

Get wheat bread and jiff peanut butter also grape jelly, leave the crust on and don't cut in half; but here's the trick, slice a banana and put in middle. Chug it down with some chocolate milk BAM

Jelly ok, preserves better.
