That a non-offensive version of asking "whose the man" to a lesbian couple.
The answer is "neither", and you look dumb for asking.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Got it, instead of asking which is the man, I will now ask which lesbian in the relationship has nuts and/or meat. Thank you for helping me be a better ally!

(Obligatory jk, please don't ask this question to any lesbian)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Which lesbian is the protein in this equation

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Lesbians: a critical part of every healthy diet.

The peanut butter, with it's thicker texture and protein is obviously the meat, and the jelly, with it's more liquidy texture and lack of nutrition is the condiment

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I second this.

I'd eat a peanut butter sandwich without the jelly, but I don't think I'd ever eat just a jelly sandwich.

Similar question for cheese and ketchup, you'd be more likely to eat a cheese sandwich without ketchup than a ketchup sandwich without cheese

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Jelly sandwiches are actually pretty solid... have you ever had jam on toast?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You do you, but ketchup on a grilled cheese sounds nasty. Ketchup is a C tier condiment at best.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That's disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

If you've never tried it before, a grilled cheese sandwich cut into your favourite shapes just calls out to be dipped in ketchup. And if ketchup is too much, a creamy tomato soup is also acceptable.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

But would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with catsup?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Peanut is a versatile flavor. Sweet, savory, whatever.

You could use it with ketchup if you like. The mix could be a pretty nice combo to use as a sauce for a Thai dish, honestly. Just on bread would probably be pretty overwhelming alone.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Not all condiments go with all fillings. For example, ketchup with tuna would be pretty rare, but mayo would be almost a requirement.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Dunno about that, but a heaping tablespoon full in a pot of chili is bomb.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Jelly can have some nutrition but yeah peanut butter is the protein. Most vegan pho meat is from legumes after all.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Do you mean "faux" meat? "Pho" is Vietnamese soup. "Faux" comes from French and means "fake" or "imitation", and is pronounced like "foe".

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

indeed I do but I forget it spelt like that. not that I spell particularly well to begin with.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Cool, I had to ask because when I read "vegan pho meat" I actually thought you might be talking about pho specifically :)

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Meat is not a requirement in a sandwich

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Counterpoint: Animal flesh is not a requirement to be called "meat".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Culinarly the term often used is "protein". So in this case, PB

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It's implied. If I paid for a meat sandwich and I was given a pb&j, I'd be asking for a refund.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

The peanut butter and jelly is the meat with the bread as a condiment

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Chaotic neutral, you love to see it

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

"Nut meat" is a common phrase so I would guess the peanut product is closest, but please stop this line of thought for your own safety.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Does a sandwich have to have meat?

The PB and J are both fillings, or toppings for the case of an open sandwich.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Due to naming convention I would say Peanut Butter, supported by "Ham & Swiss" and "Beef & Cheddar".

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Compelling argument!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Is this like the popcorn bucket thing? If my peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains your meat I don't want it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I’ll take it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

"Filling" is the word you're looking for, not "meat".

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Socratic intetjection: What's the meat in a hummus and cucumber sandwich?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

In my heart I feel it's the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I agree, but I can back it up: You'd be more disappointed if the cucumbers were missing than if the hummus was.
