Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
Peanut butter and strawberry jam spread between two slices of bread, a sweet, sticky sandwich eaten cold.
Where it comes from
Peanut butter became affordable and shelf-stable enough for households to keep it stocked, and pairing it with jam turned a plain spread into a lunchbox sandwich needing no cooking.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over spreading peanut butter on both slices of bread to seal out moisture and keep the jam from soaking through, against spreading it on just one side.
