Peanut butter and jelly is actually peanut butter and jam. No, the Americans do not put this...

...in their toast like we assumed for all these years

I bought a jug of peanut butter once because americans eat it so it has to be good.

I think I ate one sandwich with pb and never touched the shit again. It's fucking disgusting.

I'm from Germany and I put peanut butter together with Nutella on my toast.
It's awesome!

Then again, I very rarely eat breakfast or toast.

Dude, you've got to eat it with jam and a cold glass of milk. The combination of the sweet with the mild, nutty, salty peanut butter and a cold glass of milk....fucking hits the spot.

Peanut butter is the perfect complement to any sweet flavor to help balance the sweetness. Peanut butter and apple wedges is another classic.

Peanut butter tastes pretty good, but it's unhealthy as all fuck, so I'll just stay away, thank you.

It's not that bad if you get the all-natural varieties. Don't get the ones with hydrogenated oils.

I'm European and I eat peanut butter almost every day, usually mixed into oatmeal. PB&J made with toast is pretty great, though. Don't like nutella that much; it's too sweet.

Jam and jelly are two different things. Jam is made from actual fruit while jelly is made from just juices for the flavor. You can buy both here.

American Jelly is rest-of-the-world Jam. American Jello, or Jel-O, or however they spell it, is rest-of-the-world Jelly. They have it different because they are stupid and wrong.

I remember eating it for the first time in my twenties, I'm now "used" to it.
But it's still something pretty much no one in my family likes or would buy.

If you dont grow up with it, the gap gets filled with jelly/nutella/cheese/sausage.

Euros need to give up their Old World arrogance and just deal with the fact that peanut butter is the new thing.

Stop comparing Nutella to PB, one is sweet and the other savory.

I love both, especially chunky natural PB.

You people have some odd ideas about America. We have Nutella, too. We also aren't handed a national loaf of bread stamped with a soaring bald eagle, either. Same with peanut butter.

And if you don't like peanut butter, then you're basically the worst person on earth.

I was just referring to America since that's what he was asking about.

And I have no idea if American jam or jelly is what the rest of the world uses, but they are different products here. The consistency is pretty different, jelly is more solid almost like "Jello."

Yup. We also have jam and jellies here. There is a difference.

Peanut butter is delicious and the problem to be eliminated replaced with honey is actually the jam.

I eat peanut butter. No idea if it is American though.

I have it on toast and in sandwiches with jam.

I am older than 5. I am British.

I eat Whole Earth Crunchy Original and these are the ingredients

Roasted peanuts (97%), Palm oil, Sea salt

No extra sugar in MY Peanut butter.
