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.

Wow! If I didn’t have to drive 35 miles to get the Frosted Flakes cereal, I’d be making it right now! That sounds delicious!

One of my yearbooks from the 70s has a joke photo caption about “banana Koogle on rye.”

Koogle was basically the same as Goober.

Bacon on the side or in the pancakes?

Definitely on the side! Link sausage goes well, too.

“Peanut butter and marshmallow creme is the best. . . .”

Add sardines packed in olive oil to that and you may be onto something!

1st it must be toasted, the PB should be chunky, I like pumpernickel and replace the J with kosher dill pickles.

I think DHS maintains a list of people who put pickles in their PB&J sandwiches....

I was going with PB, mayo, and banana.

I have heard that DHS shares the names of people who put mayo on a PB&J with Interpol and the FSB.

Oroweat honeynut bread, creamy peanut butter, strawberry preserves, bananas.

OK, that's pro level.

Went to my sausage guy today. He had made PB&J sausage. He said it was better than it sounded.

I wasn’t brave enough to buy a pound.
