My boyfriend and I discussed today after some pretty intense sex, whether or not Grape Jelly is the PB&J standard, and why that is…
He suggested that Grape Jelly is simply the best… This only came up because last night (again after sex) I made him a PB&J but had no grape jelly, and instead substituted apricot jam, which he sort of enjoyed [or at least that’s what he said]…
I however thought that perhaps, maybe strawberry jam is best in the peanut butter and jelly combo… And we decided there was a sort of jelly standard, I then suggested that perhaps the reason there is such a standard is because in t.v. shows whenever someone makes a PB&J the director would make it so that it is Grape Jelly being used, because that seems to be what everyone would enjoy…
…Now, when I make a PB&J I prefer strawberry Jam… For some reason to me, it just tastes better… and I like Strawberries over Grapes any day, unless they are green grapes, in which case it is debatable…
Grape jelly just doesn’t exist here in the UK - so it’s usually strawberry jam or seedless raspberry jam for me, on those occasions I make PB&J (I like a dash of hot chili sauce in there too)
Yes. I actually loathe grape jelly. Most of it is weakly grape-flavored sugar garbage. My PB&J sandwiches are always made with blackberry, elderberry, raspberry, or, on occasion, strawberry preserves.
Also, do we really need to know how your “intense” sex life factors into this conversation?
I assumed, at the beginning of the post, that there would be some tie-in that would explain the connection between PB&J and the OP’s sex life, but the connection never came.
I beg to differ. Pure, natural peanut butter (as in, not the stuff loaded with sugar) with a little dijon could work. Perhaps with some cold cuts. Peanut butter is surprisingly versatile.
And, I know what you mean, mhendo, I actually read the post three or four times, thinking maybe I was just being too dense to catch the subtle connection, but, no dice.
I actually enjoyed throwing it in there… : )… I suppose its not pertinent information, but it really only came about (the jelly conversation) because of after sex snacking… I chose to include it in this too… deal?
However, absent the peanut butter, if I’m just having bread with butter and <spread>, the best is this tomato-basil-garlic marmalade that my mom makes. Yes, I know, it sounds really weird, and it tastes terrible by itself, but somehow the flavor combines with the butter and fresh bread to form a wonderful ambrosia.
Being allowed to do something doesn’t mean you should. In this case, the actual topic of the thread had nothing to do with your intimate activities. You can go ahead and keep bringing it up, but don’t get all huffy when people are annoyed by it.
