Journal FortKnox's Journal: Poll: PB&J [UPDATED] 109
The order of a PB&J is important. So which do you do first:
A.) Spread on the Jelly THEN the PeanutButter
B.) Spread on the PeanutButter THEN the Jelly
C.*) Make some random comment about ExtraCrunchy vs Smooth PeanutButter or Jam vs Jelly and not even answer the damn poll
D.) I am from Australia and we eat tar...err... vegemite on our bread!
E.*) This is too us centric...blah blah blah... damn foreigners...
F.*) I don't like PB&J and I'm going to whine about it :-P
* - Since Em is gone, probably having a wonderful time and being in a great mood cause he's getting married and such, I figured I have to make up for it and give the poll a little attitude.
Yeah, the poll sucks... I wish he was back, too :-P

Solution? No gluten. No beer, no bread, no pasta, no whiskey, no additives that involve wheat in the processing, and nothing that doesn't have all the ingredients listed.

So are you just abbreviating to "J" in order to avoid having to point out that Americans don't know what jelly is? :-) Oh, and I answer F) Bleugh! Why on earth
would anyone want to eat peanut butter with or
without any additives? Just scrap it altogether,
and go with bread (wholemeal, preferably),
butter (unsalted) and your choice of jam

Aye, never did understand why people would want to ruin a perfectly good peanut butter sandwich by adding jelly. And the toasting makes it all the better.

How can you do it any other way than B? (Score:2)
If placing both PB&J on the same piece of bread, one much do the PB first, then wipe off the PB on a clean part of bread, then do J. Doing J first would be disastrous. The J doesn't have the fortitude to handle PB being smothered over the top of it.

Jelly does need refridgeration.
If some stray Jelly gets into the PB, it is going to grow mold and crap.
If a little bit of stray PB gets into the Jelly, no big deal.
Therefore, PB - wipe knife on other slice of bread - then Jelly.
