Readers, your PB&J suggestions are a delight
the takeout ^ | 3/19/2021

A few weeks ago in our Last Call column, we asked you what your favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich combinations were. And honestly, I was surprised at the sheer volume of answers we received, putting my wheat bread/Skippy Natural/store-brand grape jelly combo to complete shame. Some of you suggested tortillas, alternative nut butters, fruit, all sorts of jams and jellies, and even different cooking styles.

While I don’t eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches super often, your answers reminded me that a good old PB&J can be a really great thing, not only when you’re in a hurry, but when you’re in the mood for comfort food that’s ready to go in under a minute flat. While I couldn’t make everyone’s variations (there were around 75 responses and I am only one man), I did find some interesting preferences that many of us share.

There are a lot of you out there who prefer whole wheat bread, specifically Oroweat brand. It turns out that Oroweat, Brownberry, and Arnold are all owned by the same company, Bimbo Bakeries. What you pick is an indication of where you live: Oroweat is on the West Coast, Brownberry in the Midwest, and Arnold on the East coast. The packaging all looks the same, just with a different name on each loaf.

Lord we can fight over the silliest things, 1st it must be toasted, the PB should be chunky, I like pumpernickel and replace the J with kosher dill pickles.

Let the war begin!

I do almond butter and fig jam on whole grain so I guess it doesn’t count.

Mom always made me P&Js for my school lunch.

I would always trade it with someone for tuna, a proper sandwich.

Toast the rye bread, butter it, then add the chunky PB and jelly (dealer’s choice). serve with fresh, creamed coffee.

Wheat bread, but not multi-grain, creamy pnut butter, apricot jam, and well-cooked bacon.
