PB&J appreciation thread

[I Are Baboon]

Yes, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

It's easy to make.
It's tasty.
It holds you over for a while.
It's good MTB food.
A jar of each can make 10 sandwiches.

The bread is the key...

I have been eating it on this Multi-grain from Pepperidge Farm which holds together VERY well when spreading crunchy peanut butter. It is also slightly larger then your traditional white loaf.

[I Are Baboon]

I'm with ya on the bread! White bread breaks apart too easily. We use a 100% whole wheat bread. It's good and strong. :)

[binary visions]

Mmm... PB&J.

My grandmother (who is 93, mind you) still makes her own strawberry jam every year when the strawberries are in season. I've got two jars of it in the 'fridge.

I'm with you on the whole wheat, IAB.

[Heidi]

Derek makes fun of me because I put SOOOOO little on my sandwiches...so, a jar of each goes bad before I can use them. :)

[TreeSaw]

I too am a lover of a good PB&J. I don't put very much on mine either Heidi, but I definitely like stoneground, whole wheat or multigrain breads too :drool: Guess I know what I am having for lunch today!

[TN]

mmmmm....must use whole wheat bread & all natural PB. (you can keep your trans fats :dead: )

You can keep your crunchy too, that stuff cuts up my mouth worse than Cap'N Crunch.

You poor, misguided soul. Crunchy peanut butter rules all.

Of course, SkaredShuttles will chime in here any moment now telling us how mass produced American peanut butter is vile and the only true peanut butter worth eating is produced in northern Holland.

Not me. I like orange juice that I can eat with a fork.

Nope! I like the pulp and I especially like fresh squeezed OJ!

Holland makes peanut butter? :think:

France makes the best jams, though. :thumb: Well, next to my mom, that is. :p

I have to disagree about the all natural PB, though - that stuff usually tastes like yack.

:stupid:

Crunchy is the way to go.

We buy 64oz jars of PB and 40oz jars of blackberry/boysenberry jam from Costco. That'll make enough sandwiches to feed my fambly for about 4 days. :dead:

[allsk8sno]

;mmmmmmmmmmmmm crunchy!!!!!!!!!!!

i usually skip the jelly though...but whole wheat or something like it is the only way!!
i like the stone ground too!

[OGRipper]

MMMM crunchy PB&J on whole wheat, hell yeah.

But even better IMO: Crunchy almond butter with bananas and honey on whole wheat. :thumb:

And may I say just one more word: Fluff. :drool:

[laura]

i love pb and fluff.
i love pb and j, pb and banana, pb and honey
pb on bagels
pb on english muffins
pb and carrots
pb and crackers
pb and graham crackers
pb stirred up with kashi go lean crunch and honey(and then spread across the bottom of a bowl like a crust), topped with frozen yogurt and berries or bananas.
pb on whole wheat tortilla with jelly or bananas, i call it the pb burrito
toasted pb
pb and apples
i like to eat pb out of the jar

i'll stick to creamy, all natural with honey added. it's THA best.

btw, our son's kindergarten is a PB&J-free zone, thanks to peanut allergies. that sucks!

hey some people just dont like the feeling of nuts in their mouth

btw i have eaten p&j sandwiches all day today..non-crunchy of course

[SkaredShtles]

wrong. switzerland makes the best jams.

http://store1.yimg.com/I/farawayfoods_1861_21316960
Hmmmm......... I dunno. Haven't had that, so I'll have to still say, IME, at this point, France has the best jam. :p

Norway has the best milk chocolate.

[Westy]

The child with peanut allergies should be done a favor and stoned to death. This is freaking America goldernit. There should be a constitutional amendment protecting the right to eat PB&J, no a requirement!!!

you can keep your pulp too. there is a reason they call it "juice" not pooridge.

& whoever said natural PB sux....YOU SUCK! ;)
the thought of partially hydrogenated ANYTHING grosses me out. There should be no more than 3 ingredients in PB....Peanuts, salt &/or honey. Peter

[Westy]

I prefer fully hydrogenated foods, only slackers and half asses go for the partially hydrogenated crap.

[narlus]

Hmmmm......... I dunno. Haven't had that, so I'll have to still say, IME, at this point, France has the best jam. :p

milk chocolate's not real chocolate.

once again, the swiss reign supreme.

The milk chocolate in Norway is............... :drool:

[TreeSaw]

Dark chocolate is the way to go! There's just something about that bitter sweet goodness :drool:

Lindt pretty bloody nice chocolate.
All you poofs and your peanut paste....Vegemite is the only way to go. :D

[SkaredShtles]

I agree with you - I like dark chocolate better than milk chocolate. In fact, I didn't even think I liked milk chocolate until I had the Norwegian stuff. Holy $hit is that stuff good. :drool:

[GumbaFish]

crunchy peanut butter with some rasberry or strawberry rhubarb jelly is awesome..too bad i just ate lunch, i am now in the mood for PBnJ

Ah....you don't like chocolate? ;)

[pnj]

[I Are Baboon]

I love chocolate! I am just trying to keep the chocolate snobs in line. :)

ahhhh....Lindt's. :drool: .99 cents at Wal-greens...it is soooo good.
but give me no less than 70% dark.

[SuboptimusPrime]

Does anybody put PB on both slices of bread and then jelly on top of the PB? It rules cause A) more PB on a sandwich and B)the jelly won't seep into the bread and make it all slimey.

[GumbaFish]

just ate a pb n j with elderberry jam and it was freakin good

[I Are Baboon]

A well timed bump, GumbaFish! I just happen to have a PBJ today. Strawberry Polaner with Extra Crunchy Jif on wheat. :)

[Tenchiro]

Ummmm...he's dead, yo. No doubt his diet had something to do with it.

Naw. I think it was the drugs and booze.

Of course, I guess we could consider that a part of his "diet." :p

I thought Elvis liked fried PB & Banana sammiches?

[BMXman]

WWWHHHHhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?!?!?!?!

[MudGrrl]

My bf, creature of habit that he is, has PBJs every day for lunch.

He made fresh bread this weekend, so we're both totin' the home made goodness today for the midday meal.
