Correctly made, a PB&J should be symmetrical. A layer of peanut butter on each slice of bread with jelly in between, so the jelly doesn't sog up the bread, especially if the sandwich is to be stored for awhile as in a packed lunch.
yall not adding vegemite to your pb&js are missing out.
I prefer the jelly hit my tongue first because the PB can pierce it. If PB is first, my tongue is coated and resists the jelly.
Peanut butter on both slices, jelly in the middle. No I won't take questions.
Depends on which fingers you want to get dirty.
Remove this aberration from my line of sight immediately!
Or at least mark it with a content warning.
Alright, now listen here you little shit...
You should make them a toaster with duct tape, a paperclip, and an old video cassette copy of Sweatin' to the Oldies with Richard Simmons.
This is angry upvote material.
The AI peanut butter sandwich
Take your god damn upvote
The whole "pb on both pieces of bread" thing is SPECIFICALLY for making the sandwich IN ADVANCE like making your lunch in the morning. If you're eating it immediately then that's unnecessary.
That method increases the likelihood of cross-contamination (don't get one ingredient in the other's jar, you heathen), so don't do it UNLESS you're making it in advance.
Anyway, the correct way (for eating-immediately scenarios) is jam on top, as it's less likely to drip that way.
The real pro tip is you peanut butter both sides then jelly center.
This is what I do, except the jelly is on both sides of a third and toasted piece of bread.
I put peanut butter on both slices, then jam on top of the peanut butter.
And no butter!
I don't know what's up with those weirdos buttering their bread before putting spreads on, but I'm not one of em!
Absofuckinglutely! The jelly will gooify the bread on on a much faster rate than the peanut butter. You have to eat that sumbitch jelly up and that’s all there is to it!
The obviously correct answer is neither.
You have to peanut butter BOTH pieces of bread to create a jelly proof barrier. Then there is no top side!
My mom used to spread peanut butter on the bottom slice and dairy butter on the top slice for the jelly proofing.
Yeah she does that for me too
Jelly proofing sounds like something a novice adventurer does in an RPG to defend against slime-type monsters.
Yes, peanut butter and fluff; a fluffernutter.
Jelly on the top slice, probably because that side has less structural stability as it becomes moistened by the jelly/jam.
It’s a matter of structural stability. Peanut butter, being more dense, makes for a superior foundation. In the event of earthquakes, sudden stops, or cabin depressurization, a PBJ with the peanut butter side down stands a stronger chance of maintaining position and surviving.
Jelly goes in the center. Both slices of bread should have a thin coating of PB to keep the bread from getting soggy with jelly.
Yes, this is the answer!
You’re supposed to apply peanut butter to half of each slice of bread, then jelly to the other half of each slice (so they’re mirror image), then put them together. That way both sides have equal amounts peanut butter and jelly, and it’s 180° radially symmetrical. The best sandwiches are radially symmetrical.
Everyone keeps talking about structure. Yet no one seems to consider eating. If you do PB top side then you get PB stuck to the roof of your mouth
There is no controversy. Peanut butter is the bottom. Anyone who says differently is wrong.
Does anything in the Universe have a defined "up" side?
