This is what my son likes.
Yep, natural peanut butter and honey. But it is forbidden at the schools.
I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and will happily make them for my kids when they will eat them but they have very selective and ever-changing food preferences so I usually don’t bother. They have (individually) switched back and forth between phases of crunchy peanut butter being divine/nasty, smooth peanut butter being the same, to only agreeing to eat a specific kind of jelly and never the same one at the same time (I have two girls 4 years apart - what can I say?). I can starve them out and make them eat PB&J any time I want but they aren’t especially great nutritiously so I usually just wait for the rare times when one of them asks for one.
This reminded me that during my PB&J every single day phase my mom would change it up once in a while and fix it on saltines. Now it’s kind of a comfort food for me. Those have to be grape jelly.
The weird part is that while he likes the jelly part of a PB&J, he’ll separate the crackers and lick the jelly off, then eat the peanut-buttered crackers separately.
PBJ for the middle child. Eldest likes PB and Nutella. Before the discovery of Nutella, he would eat just PB sandwiches.
Oh, yeah, my favorite: sliced gherkins, slices tiled in as solid as I can manage. YUM!
When the craving hits, and no pickles to be found, I have stooped to green pickle relish. Tip: do your best to drain the juice from the relish if you don’t want it dripping down on your chest.
When I saw the thread title, I thought to myself: “What a strange question. Peanut butter on the inside, bread on the outside. Of course.” After a few moments’ reflection, I noticed that it was a poll, and thought that perhaps we were being asked what kind of peanut butter (brand, creamy or chunky, homogenized or stir-yourself). So I opened the thread and read the poll. Of course I HAD to pick “plain”; even though I also make sandwiches with various types of jams, jellies, and preserves, but only a peanut butter and nothing else sandwich gets called a peanut butter sandwich. It’s not like the grape jelly or strawberry jam is a condiment, such as the mayonnaise that you’d find on a bologna sandwich; it’s a crucial ingredient, so the sandwich gets called a peanut butter and jelly (or jam) sandwich.
I just tried this after I saw it on TV a while ago and although it should not work at all, it does so in an epic fashion!
Ready?
Peanut butter and sriracha on one side, Golden Shred marmalade and yellow or red curry paste on the other. Join. Grill like a grilled cheese.
Wrong, wrong, wrong and utterly addictive! If the hot is too much, temper it with a bit of honey…
