the phrase is “peanut butter and jelly” but i realized i’ve never actually had one with jelly before. i don’t think i’ve ever bought a jar of jelly in my life. how about you?

Note that “jelly” in North America == “jam” in Britain. It’s another one of those words, like biscuit or pudding.

Not a fan of jelly. Preserves are preferred. Something about those fruit chunks and seeds make it taste better.

I second preserves. They’re the best!

I’ve used Grape and Apple jelly. All the berries, (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry) have been jams which I’ve used.

Preserves. Jelly has an odd texture.

I don’t think I’ve ever used jelly. Wait…there’s a mint jelly my dad used to buy but I never used it. Other than that it’s always been jam or preserves. The more fruit, the better.

The J stands for jam!

99% of the time, jam. I have probably used jelly once or twice.
For me, jam is made from the fruit and the pulp, jelly from the syrup or juice.
Gelatin-based “Jell-O” or jelly is something I miss where I live now. I mean, you can buy it, but not everywhere.

Never!
Marmite and peanut butter is the way.
Or maybe peanut butter and some finely chopped fresh chilli.*
*Chilli flakes are acceptable as a last resort.

I use preserves.

I burned out on PB&J after basically getting stuck eating it for lunch for most of my childhood. I think I’ve eaten less than 5 PB&J sandwiches in the past 15 years. But, yeah, not a big fan of jelly, but I do like occasionally putting jam on my toast.

I prefer honey. But what I do most mornings is toast with peanut butter, flax meal, hemp hearts, and sunflower seeds.

I strongly feel that grape makes the best PB&J’s, and I’ve never seen grape jam, only jelly so that I guess. If I was using any other flavor I would choose the jam option instead

Yes 😉.
I’d say “whichever one has the more chunky/varied texture,” which I’m pretty sure puts me in the Jam Camp, but my local groceries never seem to be consistent with whether that should be called a jelly or a jam. I’ll take whatever’s put in front of me, but I personally enjoy having some texture variety in there with the seeds and fruit bits.
Except for marmalades. I definitely enjoy an orange marmalade on toast, but something about the idea of rinds feels icky in my PB sandwiches 😖.

I prefer jam. I like preserves as well.
