To Yahoo!'s European Participants... What do you think of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

Question

European and anyone else NOT American (who probably grew up eating the stuff...)

Answer 1

Most of my family lives in Hungary, and they have plenty of fruit preserves there (which they often make at home), but I've never seen any of them with peanut butter in their pantry. Hungarians do grow and eat peanuts, but they consider peanut butter to be strictly a foreign food and you can only find it in some of the large supermarkets.

Answer 2

Being from Germany, I never ate Peanut butter before. I don't like Peanut butter by itself, it's not the taste, just too oily,  but do like it with jelly and also use peanut butter in Asian dishes.

And it is not just the peanut butter & jelly.....never saw anybody eat ketchup on egg or ketchup on french fries either !!!! But I tried it and got used to it... different countries....different food.

Answer 3

I like it as much as what I was brought up on which was the   Nutella. But I still eat more Nutella than peanut butter and jelly.   In Italy the Nutella is the equivalent of the PB and J.

Answer 4

Every now and then I'll have one, but usually I like my peanut butter unadulterated. Jam (as we call it in NZ) belongs with cream on scones or pancakes (crepes), not on sandwiches, and peanut butter belongs on toast with butter.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are good as a really rich snack sometimes too, on white bread...

Answer 5

It's too fattening and not on the healthy side!

Answer 6

It's not healthful for me. My children like its, but I allowed rarely.

Answer 7

I tried them, they are okay.  I think it's mainly kids' food.  I like the American grilled cheese sandwich, that's better.

Answer 8

Jelly in your case is what we in Australia call Jam- and I know heaps of my friends who like it, but I'm not a fan myself! just because im not a big fan of sweet stuff on bread.

Answer 9

I can't imagine anything more repulsive or unhealthy.

Answer 10

I came from France to the states at the age of 15 and never had it until then. It sounded really weird to me and I wasn't interested in trying it but another French kid at my school told me it was awesome and he had gotten used to it. I ended up trying and I got acquired to the taste and now I actually like them a lot. However, not being a big fan of Jelly, I prefer using preserves instead of the jelly.

Answer 11

they are something talked about in tv and films.

I don't think we'd like them because to us 'jelly' is what you refer to as 'jello'.
