PB&J

JoelSidneyKelly

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.

PB minus the J is the winner

Or just add bananas

And mayonnaise. I know, I know, but it’s good. I can’t explain it.

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

I dont eat pb&j, but if you wanna talk queso and salsa mixing i can get in a debate about that.

Don’t even get me started...it’s a hard no on that

Lol glad we agree. And if youre gonna do it. Go queso to salsa. Never put salsa in my queso

If you mix both you should be put in a cage.

DobroMattInOz

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

I do put mayo on banana sandwich though

Dude, I suggested to Sentell that we have a separate food category.
