Bread, mix pB&J thoroughly in bowl, spread liberally on both slices of bread??

Someone even took it further and asked which flavour of jam to use: Strawberry or grape? (Americans call jam “jelly”.)

The real debate is… grape jelly or strawberry jelly? ?? #grapejelly

For those wondering, yes there are definitely more ways than one to make the sandwich. The more adventurous users suggested additional toppings such as skipping the jam and adding slices of banana and honey to the peanut butter slices.

I came here to say, bread, peanut butter, honey on the other side, and slice a banana in between.
