I also put the PB on first — maybe because the name is PB and jelly, not jelly and PB? Who knows.

I’m glad you’re home safe and sound!

I’m a jam 1st person! Have to say I was surprised to read that most people put PB on 1st!

I never thought about it before, but I definitely put the pb on first. I think because I don’t care if pb gets in the jelly jar but I do care if jelly gets in the pb. I guess I could just wash the knife!

when I put the pb and jam on the same slice of bread, i do pb first, because i don’t think pb would go on top of jam as well as the other way around. BUT, when i make a sandwich, i do jam first — i re-use the spoon/knife and it’s way easier to clean it of jam than of pb!

I put a thin layer of peanut butter on BOTH sides of the bread, and then spread jelly on top of one of them. A neat trick my college roommate taught me – it prevents the bread from getting SOGGY on the jelly side! Works like a charm 🙂

I put the PB or AB on first because I feel like it “protects” the bread from the jam, jam is more likely to soak through into the bread and the nut butter creates a layer that the jam or jelly can’t get through. Yeah…I’ve definitely thought about that too much, but I really hate soggy bread.

always PB first! Always. And I do Pb THICK on one side of bread. Jam on the other. Never both Pb & Jam on both pieces of bread. And then I flip it so the PB is on the bottom half, jam on top, and slice it diagonal. God, I sound anal. lol.

Maggie is too mental…..that is a riot!

PB first all the way. Because I run the knife along the edge of the bread to get the PB off before dipping it in the jam!

Nope! Peanut butter first all of the way!

LOL. I used to be a jam first person (because I used to like jam better and was so excited to get that stuff on first!), but my older brother started to complain about jam being in his peanut butter (he only made PB sandwiches… he couldn’t stomach jam) so I flopped the order. Now I like peanut butter better than jam, imagine that.

Peanut butter first – always! That way, if you have extra peanut butter, you can wipe it off on the other piece of bread so the jam jar doesn’t get all peanut buttery.

Nope, definitely a peanut butter first kind of girl! I mean c’mon, it’s not called a jelly and peanut butter sandwich, is it?

PB first, so the jelly doesn’t get in the PB jar 🙂

My dog is also too mental to be kenneled. She actually lives with my mom right now but hasn’t been kenneled in probably 4 years (she’s 7). My parents don’t do a lot of traveling so it’s perfect there for her, but if they do go away for the weekend, my brother or other family watch her. A bit inconvenient but it’s for her well-being so everyone makes do 🙂

It has been so long since I made a PB&J sandwich that I forgot how I do it…!

We leave our little pup (5 yr. old shih tzu rescue) at the doggy daycare center, so that she plays with the other dogs all day and then sleeps with them at night. She really likes that–do you have one like that by you?

I put the PB on first. My husband falls into the PB&J are gross together camp. I think they go together nicely. 🙂

I actually don’t do it the same way every time… sometimes PB first, sometimes jelly. It doesn’t matter to me!

My mom always taught me to put peanut butter on both slices of bread and then jam in the middle. That way the bread didn’t get soggy by lunchtime.

PB & J sandwich making is serious business 🙂

now i want PB&J!!!!

This is one of the funniest/best comment feeds I’ve seen in a while. It’s good to know we’re all so passionate. 🙂

ps, I’m a PB first girl, too. Wouldn’t want to rock the PB&J statistic boat.

I’m catching up on my finals-induced HTP backlog, and I felt compelled to comment here! I’m a peanut butter-first person too, and here’s why: After I’ve applied the jam and pressed the sandwich together, there’s still jam on the knife. So when I cut the sandwich in half, there’s a delicious line of jam on the edge of each half, which then soaks into the bread and adds a fruity extra touch of deliciousness.

However, if I think about it I find it makes more sense to do jam first, really. It’s easier to clean a jammy knife and transition to peanut butter than it is to clean a goopy peanut buttery knife to transition to jam. But I’m still peanut butter first all the way.

I think far too much about sandwich-making, methinks.
