Alright, now listen here you little shit...

Do you think he washed his hands with soap & water after that photo was taken? Or do you think he licked his fingers clean?

Remove this aberration from my line of sight immediately!

Or at least mark it with a content warning.

But you flipped your whole hand, still holding the sandwich, so you didn't change the top or bottom...

The 4th Earl of Sandwich would be highly offended by this.

The AI peanut butter sandwich

But all the fingers still get dirty?

You don't just put a modest layer of peanut butter on both slices first?

Also, you don't get the peanut butter stuck on your tongue

My mom used to spread peanut butter on the bottom slice and dairy butter on the top slice for the jelly proofing.

this is the correct answer, especially if you're making lunch for later... or using that cheap-ass walmart bread you can basically see through.

Jelly proofing sounds like something a novice adventurer does in an RPG to defend against slime-type monsters.

But then I get peanut butter on the jelly knife

This is the only correct answer. If you make the PB a little thicker around the edges, it will create a sealed PB pocket to contain the jelly for transport.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this. I'm guessing it's to help prevent the bread from soaking up the peanut butter and jelly?

If you're packing a PBJ for later, a thin layer of soft butter on the jelly side prevents it sogging the bread. Especially helpful if you're using preserves rather than jelly, so there's fruit-syrup between the fruit pieces. It also adds a nice little salty-umami flavor.

If I find chia seeds in my pb&j I'm crashing out

Worst Chia Pet ever

Exactly. Save some in the roof for an after lunch snack.

I've never had a problem with jelly-sogged bread.

My approach for the more liquidy sandwich toppings is to deliberately give them direct access to the bread so that they soak up in it instead of dripping out. It doesn't get soggy because the bread is toasted.

Jelly stuck inside layers of impenetrable peanut butter sounds like a mess either when the sandwich compresses during the first bite or later on, when your bite includes the centre of jelly mass.

Though for maximizing peanut butter (which is also a worthy goal), you could do both pieces of toast but leave a gap in the middle of one (or both).

This is the way

but how does the jelly crystalize in the bread then?

the best part of a PBJ is the smooth pb and the crunchy jelly.

Yes entirely, it makes a difference.

Nope. Those are autistic waters.

You seem to be the only other person on this thread that knows how to make a proper PB&J.

You spread it on the bread, then flip it onto the PB.

Yes, but there can be debates on which version of Reese's is the best. I've become accustomed to the ratio in the miniatures, and while I would never turn down a regular one, it now tastes a bit off. I once got a giant Reese's for Christmas and discovered you can't eat that right, it's going to be too much of one or the other usually.

But that does bring a memory back. I remember seeing the first commercials for Reese's as a kid, and it was around Easter. You better believe I grabbed the chocolate bunny I got and a jar of peanut butter to test the theory!

How did meat get on your peanut butter sandwich?

Also, why? And why are you then putting jelly on that mess?

Additionally, what meat?

This is the way.

ah yes, Jelleaus, Plato's finest dialogue
