More Words, Deeper Hole

Like Macaraoni & Cheese, Toasted Cheese Sandwich, and Strawberry Shortcake, there's only one one way to make a Proper PB&J sandwich, and I don't understand why close of 80% of the people with whom I've discussed these things don't agree with me on how they're to be done.

With a knife, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one side each of two slices of bread. With a spoon, add a goodly dollop of jam ("jelly" is acceptable in the U.S., with grape being admirable) to one slice. Spread this with the knife. Lick knife clean. Place the two added-ingredients sides together and do with the sandiwch whatever is fated to be done with it. (Best eaten immediately, IMHO, but still perfectly fine for lunch four+ hours later if properly wrapped.)

Personally, I have a slight preference for peanutbutter, a little butter, and honey, (mixed in a small container in advance) but a good PB&J is fine about twice per year.
