PB&J till death do us part.

[953 nut 57,474]

 

 

The great combination of peanut butter and jelly is celebrated on April 2 every year.

It’s National Peanut Butter and Jelly day! This combo is just about the best thing since sliced bread, even though technically it’s been around a few years longer. Peanut butter debuted at the 1883 Chicago World’s Fair. It was mainly sold in fancy tea rooms until the early 1900s, when the peanut industry commercialized and peanut butter became more affordable for everyone.

A home economist named Julia Davis Chandler conjured up the first known recipe for PB&J in a Boston cooking magazine back in 1901 (she recommended currant jelly). The 1928 pre-sliced bread revolution led a lot of people to eat peanut butter sandwiches during the Great Depression since it was an affordable and nutritious treat that kids could make for themselves. During WWII the U.S. Army’s food ration list included peanut butter, jelly, and bread — so give soldiers the credit for combining these tasty ingredients into the classic combination we know and love today. They brought their recipe back home, and American children have benefited ever since.

Let’s give thanks to all the PB&J pioneers! Peanut butter and jelly’s an affordable, tasty, and easy lunch we can all appreciate on April 2.

Pete, I do like 100% Whole Wheat as a meal side or with grilled cheese but for me you jus-gotta have good old white bread for a PBJ.

peanut butter, jelly and saltines are tonight's snacks. 

[Mickwhitt 4,960]

What the deuce is a saltine when  its at home?

 

This thread got us chatting at the community garden about our favourite sandwich options. 

 

Our mining industry required pretty high calorie work food or Snap as we always call it in Yorkshire;

 

Pork dripping was a popular spread on a sarnie, with plenty of salt. But if there was no dripping then plain lard would do, with a bit of Oxo sprinkled on to mimic the brown bits in dripping.

 

My dad would favour cheese and jam for down the pit, a bit of sweet and savory together. 

 

My mum loved Treacle sandwiches for her work snap. Well golden syrup actually but we call that treacle up here in God's country. 

 

My favourite for work in the truck repair depot I was an apprentice in was potted meat, or as it universally known,  Potted Dog. Not sure what meat went into it but it was a creamy mush of goodness for the growing mechanic.

 

If all else failed and there was nothing in the larder to create even the most basic sandwich then we resorted to a sugar sandwich.  Butter your bread, sprinkle on white sugar, make a sarnie and away you go. 

 

The bread is a difficult part of the saga, 

In Barnsley we call a small bread cake ideal for sandwiches a Teacake.  Pop to Rotherham and ask for a Teacake and you get a breadcake with currants in it! To us Tykes that's definitely a currant Teacake. Nip to Sheffield and ask for a Teacake and you will get a blank look. They have barm cakes. Which is a Teacake without fruit. A Sally Lunn however, is a currant Teacake,  or Teacake in Rotherham,  or a fruited barm cake in Sheffield,  with a layer of thick icing on top. 

I'm glad we got that clear.

We do not eat peanut butter with jam, why do you call it jelly? Jelly is what you have in a trifle or with ice cream, not jam that comes in a pot for spreading on toast. That maybe why we do buy American preserves, we are confused and can't understand why you would put jelly in a jam jar.

Any hoo.... I'll teach you a bit more about English cuisine in my next lesson lol.

On this side of the pond, we have, Jam, Jelly, Preserves, Marmalade, AND All Fruit! Basically all the same thing, except marmalade is citrus. Just as bad as your bread saga.

Maybe this will help to define the difference between Jam, jelly, and marmalade.       So my sammy would be a PBM(orange marmalade).   Mrs.Ks would be the PBJ(grape jelly).

[Mickwhitt 4,960]

We have onion marmalade! To eat with cheese.

Pickled onions and cheddar cheese on whole wheat is great                          but it may sort 'a clash with PBJ.

Ed, that's way too much to digest in one sitting.

Yep! My two brothers and I ate plenty of sugar sandwiches when we were growing up right here in the midwest of the US of A.   We also consumed  milk toast. Buttered toasted bread in a bowl of warm milk with plenty of sugar.

Mom always fed us milk toast when we were sick, minus the sugar. Now sugar sandwiches on the other hand was an after-school treat.

We got a "sick egg",  a torn up slice of bread mixed with a soft boiled egg in a bowl.
