Nut butter of choice* on one slice.
Butter butter on the other slice (to keep the bread from getting soggy).
Jam on top of the butter.
Separate knives or washing in between, to discourage cross-contamination or terrible little bits of peanut butter in the jam jar.


* 12 years of PBJ for school lunch burned me out and I can no longer countenance peanut butter.

If no banana is available, PB on one slice, jam on top of the PB.

If banana is available, very thin coating of PB on both slices, cut banana lengthwise in chunks (say 2 or 3 so 4 to 6 pieces), place on one piece. Yum!

We all forgot about the Smucker's Goober option. Jam and peanut butter in one jar. You get a peanut butter and jam swirled mess that way but some people like it that way.

PB both slices, jam in the middle.

Since I can no longer eat bread, this is pretty much theoretical. It's Just Not The Same with rice cakes.

Yes. A thin coating of nut butter helps to contain the jam between.

The order in which you are making the sandwich. Do you start by putting the knife in the peanut butter jar, or in the jam jar?

Peanut butter on one piece first; clean off the knife on the other piece of bread, and then use it to put jam on said bread.

PB on both slices. Jam on top of one PB side. PB lines the bread so no need for butter.

You're British, aren't you? Americans don't put butter on PB&J, and find the concept as off-putting as Europeans find the whole concept of PB&J in the first place.

If it is going in a lunchbox, pb on both slices as a barrier against sogginess, jam on top of peanut butter on one slice.

If it is for me, skip the jam, toast one slice of bread, top with pb and a sliced apple.

[identity profile] ljgeoff.livejournal.com 2015-11-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I've possibly made hundreds, maybe thousands of PB&Js in my lifetime, mostly sandwiches that were packed away to be eaten three or four hours later as a schoolkid's lunch. What I do is: use frozen bread, put a pb on both slices, put jam on top on one or the other, and baggie them up. Placing the sandwich at the lop of the lunch bag or box so that they don't get squished is important, but the frozen bread thaws out nicely and the sandwich isn't soggy and gross from the jam soaking through.

Peanut butter belongs in Reese cups, and jam inside Pop Tarts. Meats, cheese and veggies belong on sandwiches, which should only be made with real bread (kaiser roll or naan preferred), not the processed foam that comes pre-sliced.

This. Although peanut butter and jam on toast, with a cup of coffee, is pretty nice.

The problem with this poll is that there is no option for 'I dislike/am allergic to one or other of the components' or 'my opinion is complicated so I will leave a comment'.

Personally, I dislike the taste of peanuts and peanut butter, and I consider jam a little too sweet for sandwiches. They are supposed to be savoury!

[identity profile] realinterrobang.livejournal.com 2015-11-01 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, this. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, hold the peanut butter, and the jam...and in my case, probably the bread, too.

Bowl of soup, please.

PB on one slice of bread. Jam on top of the PB. There is no other slice of bread - it's just folded over (cutting first is optional) to make a single half-sandwich.

I never eat a PB&J as an entire meal, just a snack, so one slice of bread is plenty.

I was going to lament that I already chose option 3 before I thought to pick, "Other," but actually option 3 describes this perfectly well.

I don't put jam/jelly on my peanut butter sandwiches (and the PB I use contains nothing but peanuts and salt.) Far too sweet.

[identity profile] romsfuulynn.livejournal.com 2015-11-01 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Peanut butter and bread only. Or peanut butter and grape jelly. Not jam. If jelly then butter or peanut butter on both pieces of bread so no jelly on bread.

I have never ever made a peanut butter sandwich. I have never ever purchased a jar of peanut butter. I presume it's available over here, but I've never had occasion to check. Not part of the culture over here when I was growing up.

Don't like jam. Honey. PB on one slice, honey on top of the PB.
