Has every American had this at least once in thier lives?

Do you still enjoy it?

Never a fan. When I was recovering from surgery and on a low fiber diet, and my son was cooking for me, he got some English muffins for breakfast. Wanted to know if I wanted butter on them and for some reason that didn't sound good but I said there was some creamy peanut butter in the pantry somewhere and that sounded better. And I got hooked on just plain peanut butter for a snack. Not on white bread, but English muffins, naan, even flour tortillas. Hold the jelly as well.

Part of the reason I think is that I recalled one of the doctors I used to work with -- a cardiologist no less -- used to say peanut butter was the healthiest food in the world and a good energy pick -me-up. He used to eat it straight from the jar with a spoon during afternoon meetings.

@Glossy When I Google it, I get this:

Do the British have English muffins?
They've been around in England since long before Thomas popularized them here. Go to any British supermarket, like Tesco or Sainsbury's, and you'll see them marketed as simply “muffins,” or sometimes “breakfast muffins” or “toasting muffins.”

@dancingtongue Yes, we have them in stores. But they have a very low profile in our culture.
Ask ANY English person you know the simple question... "When was the last time you had English muffins for breakfast?" And see what they say.
I don't like jelly on pb either. @dancingtongue
I use honey on peanut butter sammiches.

@Mamapolo2016 Peanut butter and fruit just doesn't mix for me. Honey is the best.

Honey AND peanut butter?!?! That’s a thing?
@Mamapolo2016
@XenonRush I don't know how much of a thing. But it's a thing with me/

The secret is to butter the bread under the peanut butter.
Oh, another tip I learned as a young child: it's much easier to spread the jelly on the peanut butter than the other way around!

@daydeeo My mom liked peanut butter and butter sandwiches till the day she passed away.

Believe it or not, I detested PBJ as a kid. Now, I can eat it once in a blue moon, for dessert maybe: with organic nutty peanut butter and strawberry jam on multgrain toasted bread.

I love Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches to this day. But I prefer smooth peanut butter and the halves put togehter. I get why you showed them separately here, so no need to explain.
daydeeo · 61-69, M
I had no idea that there was such a diversity of opinion on this subject.
I also didn't realize it was mostly a US thing. What about Canada?
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
I was kind of expecting a meme about a school sh... Pie bake off.
XenonRush · M
Nope. Have you ever had a PB&J?
@Thevy29
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@XenonRush Actually, I'm Australian. We don't do PB&J here. But we do Peanut butter and honey and Vegemite and cream cheese.
@Thevy29 hey I love PB&J!!
Glossy · F
Is that peanut butter and "jelly"?
XenonRush · M
It is! It is not very common of a sandwich outside of the US! Have you ever had it?
@Glossy
Glossy · F
@XenonRush No way. The "jelly" is what we call jam. And anyone who puts Jan and peanut butter together is bonkers.
Do they not have PBJs in other countries?
Musicman · 61-69, M
Yes!!!! I still crave one occasionally.
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
Grew up on it
thisguy20 · 41-45, M
Sure...pretty much everyday; although I use wheat bread, and mix up the jelly (grape, strawberry, orange, tangerine, cherry, blueberry, raspberry)
4meAndyou · F
I would, if I could eat the jam. I can't, so...not quite the same experience.
More than once but creamy, never crunchy.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
As a kid but no, never again.
HannahSky · F
I don't like them mixed together
Monday2 · 51-55, F
