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?

    I think this is something that gets lost in translation sometimes between different English dialects

    When you say "jelly"are you referring to a fruit preserve similar to jam that gets it’s gelatinous qualities from pectin

    Or are you referring to a gelatin-based dessert like Jello?

    When most Americans talk about peanut butter & jelly, we’re talking about the former.

        Here in Australia, what we know as “Jelly” is what Americans call “Jello” and what they call “Jelly” is like a pulpless, seedless Jam. A PB&J is Peanut butter and grape jam in a sandwhich.
