your post has woken me from slumber and I have two favourites, one savoury one sweet. One is with danish blue cheese and honey on a digestive biscuit and the other is with Nutella on thick cut fresh bread. However will accept +Blackberry jam as acceptable alternative especially in the morning.

Good thing I just ate lunch. I like to split a bagel for breakfast, toast it, and put olive oil on one side, a healthy butter substitute. On the other side I put peanut butter (a thin layer if I'm watching my weight) and strawberry jam. I wish I could have blackberry or raspberry jam but my wife doesn't like the seeds so she doesn't buy it.

I'm with you on that blackberry jam. (as a kid, we would go blackberry picking and end up having homemade jam)Originally Posted by Buttercup
I love peanut butter.
Unfortunately, I've never been a peanut butter fan (which is funny because I like peanuts), so it was always cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. Now, that's a refreshing sandwich.

Cream cheese and jam sandwiches good too; my fav for that is apricot jam...and pecans over it!

Peanut butter and just about any kind of fruit jam/jelly is a-okay in my books, but there are two other combos that I like. One is more common, methinks, but the other tends to draw pretty weird looks.
Peanut butter and plain salted potato chips. Adds a crunchy texture that's different than simply using chunky peanut butter. Also, the flavor of the chips comes through just enough to make a noticeable difference.
Peanut butter and American cheese (usually just the shrink-wrapped sorta-cheese singles.) I love the sharpness of the cheese with the sweetness of the peanut butter.

If it didn't, it wouldn't be Fazor.

Can get seedless blackberry jam. That's what I get.
Order of Kilopi
Me too! Seedless blackberry would absolutely be my choice on a PB&J. Which I now realize I haven't had in years. And I'm hungry! But my wife will be home momentarily and we're going out to lunch. Perhaps this evening, who knows?

Apricot jam. But then apricot jam is just about my favorite thing on the planet; I'm eat a stick with apricot jam on it (OK, maybe not quite). But I can certainly eat apricot jam with a spoon.

Good point.

Concord grape jelly is my choice with peanut butter.

Well, butter is an essential in any properly made peanut butter sandwich. Don't like jams or preserves (texture issues), but a good apple jelly, or apple butter and cherry jelly (and lightly toasted bread). Biggest problem I have is that most people seem to try to put extremely thick layers of Peanut butter (btw- "Jiff" smooth) and clumpy blobs of jelly/jam on their sandwiches.I love peanut butter.
What's your favorite jam/jelly/other condiment with a peanut butter sandwich?
My ideal PB&J
very thin, even spread of lightly salted, room temp. butter applied to inner surfaces of lightly toasted sprout bread. Top one slice with very thin layer of Jiff, smooth peanut butter, top other slice with thin layer of cinamon apple jelly. Align and join inner topping surfaces and slice diagonally, consume with 8-12 ounces of fresh, whole milk chilled to ~38 degrees F.

One of the most interesting PBJs I've ever had was from a food cart in Portland Oregon called PBJ's. All they make is PBJs, but they make some very interesting one. The one I had was a Thai themed one (don't recall the name), it had orange marmalade, cucumber slices, sprouts, and Asian hot sauce on it, and it was grilled on a Panini press. It was fantastic.

Thick layer of peanut butter, Banana slices, honey, and Ruffles potatoe chips on Butter Top wheat bread.
Order of Kilopi
That does sound interesting. Guess I'm boring with PBJ!
I can't eat bacon, but I've seen bacon served on a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich; Food Network. A cafe in New York, IIRC, which only sells variations of peanut butter sandwiches, and a variety of PB flavors too (cinnamon, chocolate).
I'd like to get a Panini press.

Peanut butter and maple syrup. It's messy, but goooooood.

I don't go quite that far but I do like me a peanut butter and 'nanner sandwich. A childhood favorite.

Seconded...though I go for the cheap-o Welch's stuff, which is probably more like grape flavored sugar. Yum!
And a glass of milk to dip the sandwich in (don't judge....)

I make mine with thick peanut butter on each slice of bread, sandwiching grape jelly.

Forgot to mention the 'ol double decker PBJ: Bread slice, PB, J, another slice, PB, J, another slice.

Since bacon was mentioned: peanut butter and bacon on toast is a childhood favorite. Toast and peanut butter was practically a staple breakfast item at my parent's house while I was growing up (and it still is, actually). Getting to have bacon with it was a bit of a treat some mornings.

I grew up in Wyoming, and didn't observe this tradition, but I worked with a carpenter who did (because, I think, he was an Elvis fan) and he had them for dessert one night, when I ate at his house. I've eaten them ever since. He told me stories about the reactions he'd get when he'd order them at local restaurants, ranging from mild amusement to a gag reflex, but one waitress didn't blink an eye--she returned with a banana and peanut butter sandwich, with pickles on it.

Yes, I'm going a little off-topic - and perhaps it's a given - but surely the most important thing has not been mentioned..
The bread must be fresh and with a crackingly good crust...

My mommy fed me peanut butter and grape jam sandwiches when I was little. That's still my favorite. Strawberry preserves and peanut butter is also good.

I'm boring; just grape jam. Strangely enough, I can't eat peanut butter with anything else, though PB with honey isn't too bad.

When I used to make business trips to the NASA facility in White Sands, New Mexico, there was a restaurant in the city of Las Cruces (where we stayed and had most of our meals) that offered a gourmet PBJ for something like $19.95. The description was rapturous about how lovingly the bread, peanut butter, and jelly were made by hand. Still, none of us were sufficiently motivated to use our per diem on it.
I most often have Jif creamy peanut butter with grape jelly. I prefer the Jif, but the jelly is usually whatever's available, and the grape tends to predominate.
Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

As far as peanut butter goes, I love peanut butter and butter on sourdough. Boo, my youngest, also loves peanut butter and butter on sourdough bread.
As far as jellies and jams go I prefer strawberry, on buttered toast.
