Peanut Butter vs. Jelly

No, you cannot say "butter" or any other substitution.
No, you cannot say both.
You absolutely MUST choose one or the other.

This is a battle to the death, folks. The kind of poll that will result in an epic argument that will last hundreds of pages. It will destroy friendships. It will create and then split alliances. Cats and dogs, living together! Babies having babies!

Go.

Peanut butter because it is more versatile. I can have a peanut butter & jelly sandwich or a peanut butter and honey sandwich, but I have never had a honey & jelly sandwich.

Ah, but...have you ever heard of a peanut butter donut?

I think not.

I didn't, they're fantastic but Reese's Pieces are superior.

But I'm still going to buy a bag of the m&ms tomorrow :D

On the one hand, I didn't try peanut butter until I was like 15 (still haven't had a PBJ sammy, too), so jam has all the nostalgia flavour... OTOH, peanut butter is freakin' delicious...

Jam. Because there's so many more flavours.

And it has to be extra chunky peanut butter. None of this wussy-ass smooth crap.

Reese's Pieces are much smoother inside (and make a better cookie ingredient), but the M&Ms have that salty Reese's taste. They're forbidden in this household since Kati will obliterate them on sight.

Also, peanut butter goes with far more than jelly. Peanut butter and crispy bacon is a favorite. So is peanut butter and cheddar cheese.

Yeah, if it's not chunky/natural, it's just artificial flavors of peanut butter!

I also prefer peanut butter, but some people take their love of peanut butter too far...

If I must choose...

Jelly can be replaced with so many other things (fluffernutter, anyone?), but PB is PB. It is the foundation so many millions of noms are based around.

As much as I like raspberry jam, it ain't no peanut butter. I used to eat that shit by the spoonful as a child.

21 - 3 Peanut Butter over Jelly. I think the winner is clear.

Peanut butter, because there are no urban legends about dogs involving jelly.

Yes, yes, the winner is clear. I, on the other hand, prefer jelly/jam over peanut butter any day. While I love Reese's Pieces and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, due to an old (middle school) football coach's insistence that if I would eat peanut butter toast in the morning and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch I would definitely bulk up some - I loathe the food that I used to love, namely peanut butter toast. Oh, and he was wrong. I lost weight on his special diet (I was scrawny all the way up to age 20, when I ballooned out). Besides, I make my own jams and jellies, I suppose I could make my own peanut butter, but why?

Peanut Butter mainly there are more variety of things you can do with it (different bake goods, food and sweets)

Jelly, if we are talking of actual jelly (out of the jar) then not so much IMO.

Until the day I was taught by my woman how to make a peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie sandwich, I had never really lived.

What has become of you, Halforums? This should have been the very first response to the op!

I, for one, am disappointed in you.

This topic should be renamed as "Moderately Lame" it never reached the heights it predicted and is now flat as peanut butter toast on the kitchen floor. It's not like we were discussing how to cook bacon, is just PB&J.

The proper way to cook bacon is draped over a turkey naturally.

OR draped over turkey, duck, chickens and cornish hens and veal sausage.

Peanut butter for sure. Jelly is just kinda...sad and boring. Jam and preserves are much better.

I have a big jar of mayhaw that's making this difficult... but I gotta choose peanut butter. It gets me through those weeks when I really don't want to go grocery shopping. Also, it makes oatmeal more filling.

Mayhaw's just a type of jelly. The fellow's dad gives me jars of homemade all the time. :)

Jelly or marmalade on a slice of toast, yummy.

But to be honest, my argument is biased as I've only once had a PB&J sandwich. It was in an American Voices conference my alma mater's English Department organizes every fall, with both serious and humorous lectures from students, international students, visiting Fulbright professors and once by the US ambassador (who was a really swell guy, all in all :) ). One of the US students had her thirty minutes on the importance of PB&J in American culture, and of course she provided us with samples ;) Yummy, to be honest. But the problem is, I'd have a better chance of finding Bovril or vegemite than PB - of any variety - in an average grocery store.

Good point. When I hear jelly, I lump it together with jam and preserves even though they're not the same thing. That makes it an easier decision. But, man, fig preserves...

Peanut Butter = cookies, sandwiches, Reese's cups (regular, miniature, and mini), pb and pretzels, pb & chocolate mixed in a bowl, cookies with chunky pb, toast, crackers, pb & ritz crackers covered in chocolate...

I can be all types of Bubba (Forrest Gump) about peanut butter.

Jelly, meh.
