Crunchy PB with apple-cinnamon jelly. Sadly, it’s almost impossible to find anymore. ---

It took me years to realise that “jelly” means “jam” in the US, and that what I call “jelly” they call “jello”. Imagine how weird I thought that sandwich must look when I heard it mentioned on TV? I still think peanut butter and jam combined sounds disgusting! I’m pretty sure I’ll never try it. ---

I chose smooth with strawberry, although in this house it’s really strawberry preserves and not jelly. I do like grape, but I was raised on strawberry preserves so that’s just what I get at the store out of habit. That apple jelly sounds awesome…might have to pick me up some of that on the next trip. ---

Smooth with raspberry or blackberry jelly. I will do strawberry if that’s all you’ve got, and I like honey, but it is just about the messiest, stickiest lunch possible – have plenty of wetnaps handy. ---

Strawberry jelly and crunchy peanut butter if the jelly is store bought. If it’s homemade jelly, then I prefer blackberry jelly. Lately I prefer nutella on toasted 7 grain bread with strawberry jelly. ---

No preference as to smooth or crunchy, but I like jalapeno jelly. ---

Jelly is a heresy. Jam is far superior. Crunchy, and blackberry or boysenberry jam. Or my grandmother’s homemade strawberry jam. Or peach jam. Or honey. Or honey-and-raisins. Or sliced sweet pickles. ---

I very, very rarely eat PB&J. When I do, it’s usually raspberry or red currant jelly. ---

JAM JAM JAM I don’t really care what kind of jam, I partial to raspberry, but jelly is really terrible and grape is the worst. I also vote for crunchy I guess I just like the mouth feel. ---

Jam is much better than jelly. I generally default to smooth peanut butter and strawberry jam, but variants in either are fine, too. ---

Do you guys put on your peanut butter and jelly separately, or mix them together first? I do either, depending on my mood or whatever else I’m eating. If I’m using honey or I’m having the pb&j with soup or stew I mix them together. If I’m just having a sandwich I don’t mix them. ---

Something about the word jelly. I haven’t eaten jelly since I was a kid. Jelly. Jelly. Jelly, jelly jelly jelly jelly. Try it. It’s funny, but doesn’t sound edible. ---

Smooth or cruchy (but crunchy is prefered) with black raspberry jelly. On wheat. ---
