So I'm in my kitchen, whipping up some classic peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on this rainy sunday afternoon. All of a sudden, I hear this build up, you know, like you're going to get a bit of roaring thunder. The thunder came all right, but not after this shrill beep that reminds me of an error you'd get from some sort of big ass machine faulting.
What the fuck would this be?

 

[Error Macro]

Maybe God uttered a naughty word before the thunder came?

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Peanut butter and honey > peanut butter and jelly

 

[RevenantKioku]

Peanut butter and honey > peanut butter and jelly

Yeah but I don't have a cupboard filled with free honey. And while it sounds interesting, I'd imagine it to be sticky as all fuck.

Perhaps God's just a more of a nutella man?

If jam in america is jelly, then what do you call jelly.

btw, peanut butter and honey is da shit

I don't know. Preserves? I've been meaning to find the answer to that mystery for a long time.

 

[dem]

I'm guessing... your surge protector...

No, preserves are just a fancy name for jam. He's wondering what you call this jelly:

You know, the wobbly stuff you'd have for dessert. Usually with icecream. Do you call it jello?

We have jam and jelly in america.

I always understood it that jam was pretty much fruit only, but jelly had some gelatin in it or something.

Gelatin (Jell-o) is another thing altogether.

Yet I don't have one. Mysteries...

In England, jelly is the wobbly stuff that usually tasted like crap and jam is the stuff you spread on bread. Maybe you americans actually eat the wobbly stuff with peanut butter, that would explain everything about america.

Glitch in the matrix.

 

[Myllz]

Naturally, because everyone has a surge protector in their kitchen.

Yep, the wobbly stuff is what we call jelly here. We don't use jam for peanut butter sandwiches usually.

Silly me.
I completely forgot that sound STOPS at the boundaries of a room. Oh wait.. it doesnt. Eat shit.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Did you leave a message after the beep?

 

[LinesInTheSand]

I do. Strawberry Jam rocks.

That's a BRILLIANT idea! Strawberry gelatin and peanut butter... You can add it by the slice!

Jam ---> Comprised of boiled fruit + fruit pieces
Jelly ---> Comprised of only fruit juices and doesn't contain any fruit pieces.

 

[Matlock]

Maybe it was a failing transformer outside.

That sounds like the sign of a potential seizure or schizophrenic episode, as long as you don't taste purpleyou are fine. Or are you?

Somebody's a bit cranky.

I believe I can answer your question:

Those of us with refined tastes eat jam/preserves on our pb&j as opposed to jelly.

Black or red raspberry jam (WITH seeds-- without isn't quite as good) + Jif peanut butter on honey wheat bread. Fuck. I could live on that.

The only other thing that you should put on a sandwich with peanut butter is bananas, by the way.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Those of us with part time jobs at Toys R Us and bills to pay while in college use the free jelly we can get to make our sammiches.
But I agree, raspberry jam kicks ass.

That is called Gelatin in America (I guess elsewhere it's called jelly). Popular brand being Jell-O and most people just call it that. People do not eat this on sandwiches.

That is what is called Jelly in America. It's kinda hard to see but there are no seeds or fruit peices in it, like most people have pointed out. This is put on sandwiches and toast and such. Although I prefer jam.

 

[Tortfeasor]

This is jam

 

[Shompola]

and then there is marmalade.
