First let me say I have been doing this for years and the peanut butter sandwich community recognises me as a Master. Anyone not making their peanut butter sandwiches this way is certainly doing it wrong. There is only one proper way and its my way:
First the bread must be white bread, Preferably Wonder brand, slightly toasted.
Jelly must be strawberry, and applied very thin to one slice of bread.
next rinse the knife, for Gods sake, we cant be too careful in this day and age, dipping your knife in peanut butter while it still has jelly on it can lead to complications, a good anti-bacterial is recommended.
next youll want to plunge the knife into the peanut butter and twist it to make a 'scoop' about the size of a golf ball or a bit larger, spread the peanut butter or PB across the center of the bread, evenly, then while using caution spread the PB top to bottom, as evenly as possible across the entire slice.
press the two slices of bread firmly together, and cut down the center, do not trim the crust or cut diagnally.
Making a PB&J is serious business and should not be done by an ametuer without the proper training, I know this because I am a Master.
You may call me Sir Skippy
First of all, let me assure you of my qualifications for addressing this subject by mentioning that I spent 36 years living in the USA and therefore do not suffer any British inferiority on the subject of peanut butter or the relative merists of Jif and Skippy.
Secondly, let me congratulate you on your mastery of the horizontal slice. This is, of course,a key skill in the mastery of PB&J.
However, I must prtest the limitation of strawberry jam. It is, in fact, equally proper to use grape, as long as it is Welsh's. In this case, large chunks of jelly are entirely appropriate.
For those witha real kinky streak, jelly can be substituted with sliced banana. It's still fruit dammit, it's twoo.
