Inspired by yesterday’s discussion on whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich, I’ve decided to wade into the waters of filled-bread food controversy. I am of the contention that jelly belongs on top of the peanut butter. What say you, Lemmings?

Peanut butter is placed on BOTH sides of bread, and the jelly goes in-between those layers of peanut butter. This keeps the jelly from making your bread soggy.
I’ve never had a problem with jelly-sogged bread.
My approach for the more liquidy sandwich toppings is to deliberately give them direct access to the bread so that they soak up in it instead of dripping out. It doesn’t get soggy because the bread is toasted.
Jelly stuck inside layers of impenetrable peanut butter sounds like a mess either when the sandwich compresses during the first bite or later on, when your bite includes the centre of jelly mass.
Though for maximizing peanut butter (which is also a worthy goal), you could do both pieces of toast but leave a gap in the middle of one (or both).
How much jelly do you heap on there?! I always figure a thin layer is plenty.
TBF I mostly eat PBJ toast, so the gobs of jam effect isn’t something I have to worry about
It’s mostly an issue for sauces rather than jam or jelly. The other comment just reminded me of my old method where I’d inadvertently seal the bread away and then get more dripping.
This is the way
but how does the jelly crystalize in the bread then?
the best part of a PBJ is the smooth pb and the crunchy jelly.
