Do you spread it on bread or do you just spoon it straight outta the jar like some heathen
A little from column A and a little from column B.

I've always been a creamy PB guy, but today we had a PB&J potluck at work and I made a sando with crunchy. I have to say, it was pretty damned good.
PB&J potluck? Tell me more.
Well, it's a long and stupid story but here you go, anyway.
So we have this post-doc in our lab who is from Switzerland. My general impression has been that most people from Europe seem to think that PB&J is gross, so I asked him about it and he said that he had never had one before. So I bring him one (all-natural smooth PB and homemade plum jam on toasted sprouted wheat bread) along with a thermos of milk (not that low-fat shit, either). He took it to the head and seemed to really like it (apparently he got his wife and kid into it now, too). Another one of the grad students in the lab knew what was going on, so when I told her that he liked the sando, she immediately decides that we need to have a "peanut butter & jelly party". She tells our prof that she wants to do this one week after group meeting, and he says "why not just do it during group meeting?" and offers to bring some jelly. So everyone ends up volunteering to bring different stuff, and today while someone stood up at the lectern giving a talk, the rest of us were making and chowing down on PB&J sandos. We had like 4 different kinds of jelly/jam (we had peach, huckleberry, fig, and strawberry), smooth and crunchy peanut butter, three different kinds of bread (including one homemade swiss bread from the post-doc's wife), full-fat milk, chocolate milk, soy milk, and I even brought my toaster. Apparently we are going to make this a regular thing.
Your place of employment sounds amazing. Also huckleberry is the best kind of jam. Far better then strawberry, grape, Apple, pump up the, Def Comedy, or NBA.

While that does sound dope...
If I was giving the lecture while everyone was chowing down and chugging milk I would feel kinda meh.
Any of you peeps tried a grilled PB&J? It gets a gooey mess, but man it's good.
Someone was talking about that today at our "meeting". Sounds fucking awesome. Glad to see that someone figured out how to make a PB&J even more unhealthy.
Crunchy Lover!
When you say Natural are you talking about the one that you have to mix right after you open it? Smuckers makes a crunchy natural which is awesome but the oilm rises to the top and the crunch settles on the bottom so you gotta mix it like it's a mission, pretty crazy but so damn good!
My go to is JIF Extra Crunchy with Smucker's Grape Jelly (or Jam) double decked on some Aunt Millie's Potato Bread. Pair that up with a bag of original kettle chips and a tall glass of ICE cold skim milk.
only two kind of people in this world ( well three consider folks with allergies)
