Poll: PB&J

[JDLY]

Just a random question, when you make a peanut buttter and jelly sandwich, do you put peanut butter on both pieces of bread, or just one?

I put it on both pieces.

I only butter the second piece if I make a peanut butter and banana sandwich. And that's just so the top doesn't slide off the bananas.

There are many instances where there is no clear right and/or wrong way to go about things. Actually, this applies to most things in life. Appliance operation/assembly, religion, math, traffic laws, really most things have no true right and wrong.

There is, however, a wrong way to assemble a PB&J, and you're doing it.

Why do you say that? I prefer arguments with reasons.

Yus.

 

[Threx]

Both. I also put jelly on both sides to though.

 

[Generator]

No. Peanut Butter on one, jelly on the other.

This for me, as well.

If there's too much peanut butter, my mouth gets really sticky, and if there's too much jelly, you can't taste the peanut butter. There must be balance.

 

[Hazy]

Just peanut butter. Two slices.

Not a fan of the purple stuff. :l

Exactly. You can't have a PBJ sandwich with peanut butter on both sides, but you HAVE to put it on both sides of a PBB or your bananas escape.

BIG glup of peanut butter on the right slice and a regular layer on the left, followed by two spoon fulls of grape jelly, or pineapple preserves.

 

[Shock and Awe]

I leave out the "J"

First, let me apologize for not putting the appropriate amount of effort into my response. I didn't realize how serious a debate this was, so no, I did not have solid rationale behind why I advise most persons against applying PB to both slices of bread in a PB&J.

Hopefully, I can atone for this embarrassing folly by giving a proper response.

In regards to my preference- I do not believe that PB should be placed on both slices if, and only if, J will be used in the sandwich. This preference is due to the fact that I prefer to only have one slice worth of PB and one of J. In other words, if I place either PB or J on both slices, then I will have too much of the doubly applied spread.

In regards to application technique- For the purpose of my own PB&J, I would never have the need to apply both PB and J to the same slice of bread, however, if either is to be applied to both sides, then technique becomes important, as one is now spreading a spread upon another spread. This can result in an uneven spread, which does not appeal to me. However, if one, such as yourself, possesses the skills as a knifeman to perform this task and achieve a positive outcome, then knock yourself out.

Hopefully this response is more appropriate. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that even with all the reasoning in the world, sound or otherwise, if one prefers to make their PB&J in a certain manner, then one should prepare the sandwich in the manner of one's choosing, especially when one is preparing the PB&J for one's own consumption.
