do you put the jelly on first or the peanut butter. Serious responders only, please. I have been struggling with this my entire life, but little things like career choices, relationships and religion have always gotten in the way.

Actually there is a little more to it than that but I am not sure how much time you have or just how serious you are abot creating the finest PB&J known to mankind. The bread is obviously important but you know what you like. I start with a thin layer of butter on the right hand piece of bread. Not margarine or some wanna be, but real butter (must be at least room temp so as to not tear the bread when spreading). Next is the peanut butter, room temp as well, right over the top of the butter. This is a much thicker layer, I prefer Skippy Superchunk. Make sure you spread it out thick and even all the way to the edges of the crust. Wipe the excess peanut butter off on the empty piece of bread so as not to get any in the jelly/jam. Jelly (or jam) goes on the left piece of bread. As a child, grandma's homemade apple jelly was my favorite but now it's mom's strawberry jam. Just make sure it is even and spread to the edges as well. Now for my favorite way to enjoy this, toast the bread. Make sure you do it in this exact order so that the peanut butter can start to melt a little before you slap it together and enjoy it's warm goodness. Another tip for melting is to put the peanut butter piece on top of the toaster while you are doing the jelly/jam side. To finish off, the jelly piece ALWAYS goes on top of the peanut butter piece (see earlier absorption rate references). Put on a paper plate, grab a glass of milk and enjoy!

I'm British, so the concept of the PBJ was entirely alien to me till I married an American. The most adventurous thing the British used to do in terms of sandwiches was cheese AND ham...
But it strikes me that the answer to this life-sapping problem has been staring us all in the face all these years.
It's a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, yes?
English can be deliciously precise sometimes - if one was meant to apply the jelly first, then surely it would be a JPB, rather than a PBJ?

I put the slices of bread side by side on the plate (or paper towel) and I first put the peanut butter on the right slice and then the jelly on the left slice. Then I put them together and cut the sandwich down the middle (like Mama used to do it). And I have to eat it with the peanut butter side down or else it doesn't taste right.

Peanut butter first man. Peanut butter is the foundation, then the jelly! Thats the decoration!

Always peanut butter first. It's tough to try to get the peanut butter on the knife after there is jelly on it. It's always peanut butter first. I hope that makes you feel better.

Forty seven answers before mine....all wrong.
the peanut butter is dipped from the jar with the index and middle fingers and then eaten. A soda straw is used to suck jelly from the jelly jar.
The bread is thrown out the front door for birds and small animals to enjoy.

Always the peanut butter. If you put the jelly on since it is more vicsous and then you try putting PB ontop it will just slide. Have you actually ever made a PBJ sandwich? No if you put the PB on one Slice and the J on the other then mash them together you want to put the J on first since J has more sugar and since it is oversaturated with sugar won't go bad as quickly as the PB since it contains fats/oils that will go rancid faster. Though 30 seconds won't kill the Bot Fly.

Peanut butter first. If you put the jelly (jam) on first it makes it really hard to spread the peanut butter.
