I have never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

The jelly isn't gelatin. It's like jam I guess, I don't know what they call it in other countries. I feel like some folks think we eat peanut butter and gelatin, which is wrong.

I think the difference between jam and jelly is how much pectin is in it, or one has chunks of fruit and the other doesn't? I don't really know. I don't like either of them.

Jam is made with pureed fruit, while jelly is made from fruit juice. Colloquially, though, people use the terms interchangeably constantly.

Same, jam/jelly & peanut butter have two wildly different tastes & textures. I have no idea what lunatic decided to put the two spreads together but PB&J sandwhiches sound about as appetising as cranberry haddock

Peanut butter is weirdly American, but as an American, I can't believe other countries not only aren't obsessed with PB, but often don't even like it. Wtf world. You're missing out.

Says who?
I'm not american and I've never met somebody who isn't allergic to peanuts who doesn't like peanut butter.

Really? Wow, what part of the world are you in?

Every Central American I know actively thinks it's gross. In Germany, peanut butter (when you can find it) has a huge American flag on the jar, and most Germans won't eat it.

Straya.
To be fair I haven’t gone around asking people if they dislike peanut butter, it’s just sort of assumed that everyone likes it (and other spreads like nutella), and I’d be surprised to hear somebody saying they didn’t like it.
We have many local brands. I don’t think I’ve tried one from the USA yet, but we probably have a few imported ones at costco.
