    I grew up in a town with a Wonder Bread factory and each year we would take a school trip there. Among other goodies we were given minature loafs of bread. (1950's) thanks for the walk down memory lane.

    In the UK we grow up all our lives hearing American English because of films, music and TV so we just learn all the American vocabulary. However, I never caught on to the fact 'jelly' in US English actually means what we call 'jam'. To us 'jelly' is what you cal 'jello'. I honestly thought peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were peanut butter and 'jello'. So I never wanted to even try it. Still haven't tried it even though I now understand. Is there a particular flavour of jam that goes better with peanut butter?

    • @mojojim6458

      Andy used Welch's grape "jelly". That seems to be the standard for this disgusting food item.

    • @chadfalkin6850
      @chadfalkin6850 2 роки тому +2

      grape jam is probably the most classic but blueberry and strawberry are both common and better, even an orange marmalade would probably be acceptable. the big detail is that it's almost a dessert sandwhich even though we eat it all the time, that's the flavor profile to expect.

    It's tasty but Not a source of nutrition. Not a big surprise that peanut butter and jam is tasty, no wonder the combination of carbs and fat like taste from the oil. As well as the protein, even though plant protein is only half as bioavailable and often inflammatory.
    The carb and fats combination is according to the latest news a heart health risk.
    I did not know that it's hydroginated. That's terrible.
    Basically it's a heart disease on a sandwich.
    Also It doesn't ship well because the peanuts, and many other American plants are prone to aflatoxin. That is one potential reason that it's not a staple food in Europe.

    • @Zoe-gi1uu
      @Zoe-gi1uu 2 роки тому

      Nalf, do you really drink that Oat milk crap? It's an income for a Swedish biz but I can not support it. It's toxic sludge.
      The same amount of carbs as a Coca Cola and the hazardous plant oil similar to fast food fries.
      Read up on those plant oils and red meat, for example Nina Teicholz lectures and book.
      One problem is Compared to animal fats they destroy the cardiovascular system, build weak tissue incl joints and lungs. If you want to have a long career you might want to eat animal fats and meat.
      Also Oats are high in agrochemicals.
      If you're sensitive to milk products you can try sheep or goat milk or coconut milk, since it's a fruit with very high saturated content, instead. You can also try fermented milk products.
