    Here's my controversial post of the day.

    Top tip: You can eat the remainder of PB&J mixture with a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

    PB & J Deluxe

    PB (Jif or a natural/fresh ground)
    J - berry (not mixed, but blueberry, boysenberry, black raspberry - get it?) or cherry, black currant or honey
    raisins or currants
    cinnamon
    sesame seeds, hulled and roasted (Japanese style - kawamuki iri goma - not hard to find, ref below)
    banana, sliced long-wise (not 'coins'), usually 2 cuts needed - makes 3 slices
    bread, sliced
    ginger, ground/grated (optional)

    Spoon PB on bread slice A; use spoon to even up over one side (use a knife if a wimp), thickly
    Sprinkle raisins on PB, press in it needed
    Sprinkle sesame seeds on PB-raisin
    Place single layer of banana slices on top of PB-raisin-sesame
    Sprinkle ginger (optional) on banana
    Sprinkle cinnamon on banana-ginger

    Spoon (pristine) J on bread slice B; use spoon to even up over one side
    Sprinkle sesame seeds on J (optional)

    Assemble by placing bread slice B on top of bread slice A (as developed earlier)

    Place on microwavable plate

    Microwave for about 7-10 seconds

    Cut assembly either midway or on the diagonal - choice

    Serve to squeals of delight and visages of amazement
    with Fork (optional depending on nuke time)

    Commentary:
    sesame seeds benefit almost anything plus add nutrition (Eat More Seeds, right?)
    ginger adds a small kick (and nutrition) and goes well with banana
    cinnamon is one of God's spices, enhances all components & helps with sugar processing/digestion
    raisins may be undesired by some but are tasty, add another sweet note, and are nutritious (Eat More Fruit, right?)
    banana should not be strange to Southerners but might be weird to those outside the region

    Thank me profusely later.

    Sesame seeds are about $5 per 8.5 oz bottle in HMart stores if you have one. Offered in large-ish bags, too.

    Joel bro, I may not agree with this type of behavior, but I do appreciate the creativity.

    About to file for a divorce over this debate... First, pb&j on separate slices of bread or jammed all together on a single side? I prefer separate sides for the peanut butter and jelly. What hairchested man ooor woman does single side?

    Second, do you clean the knife in between spreading peanut butter before moving onto jelly spreading? I sort of understand this side which is clean the knife, but I’m the only one using these products. I could care less if there is peanut butter in the jelly jar.

    Apparently, it’s the same difference. Look forward to the insight and prove me wrong.

    Individual.... and yes you clean the knife... did you marry a psychopath?!?!

    People! You gotta put soft butter on the fresh white bread before anything.

    My Grandma did that. She was from Minnesota, so maybe that’s a thing.

    If you really want a gross sandwich, put Vegemite on it.

    Clean knives are a must. My whole in-law family cross-contaminates EVERYTHING in the pantry with Vegemite.

    Yep. Banana sandwich with either PB or mayo, but not both. Just a feeling at the time.
    The PB & J is properly done with a spoon, as mentioned above. I hate the way the jelly will roll off the knife blade before you get it to the bread. Too many return trips to the jar with a knife.

    The reason you don't mix the jelly in with the PB in the jar is that jelly can grow mold. You first scoop the the PB with the spoon and spread, and then wipe the spoon off with the corner of the bread pieces so that you get down in the valley of the spoon. Repeat with the jelly and then lick the spoon clean before putting it back in the drawer after a quick rinse of water. a little PB in the jelly jar is desirable.

    We can only hope. Amazed at the variety of approaches to such a seemingly simple process.

    Two words to save your marriage: squeeze jelly

    Yes! PB on left slice with butter knife, then squeeze jelly on right slice and spread with same knife, no need to rinse.

    What do you consider a “butter knife”?
    This is going sideways but..,my wife swears that what I call a table knife is a butter knife.
