Inspired by yesterday’s discussion on whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich, I’ve decided to wade into the waters of filled-bread food controversy. I am of the contention that jelly belongs on top of the peanut butter. What say you, Lemmings?

    My approach for the more liquidy sandwich toppings is to deliberately give them direct access to the bread so that they soak up in it instead of dripping out. It doesn’t get soggy because the bread is toasted.

    Jelly stuck inside layers of impenetrable peanut butter sounds like a mess either when the sandwich compresses during the first bite or later on, when your bite includes the centre of jelly mass.

    Though for maximizing peanut butter (which is also a worthy goal), you could do both pieces of toast but leave a gap in the middle of one (or both).

      How much jelly do you heap on there?! I always figure a thin layer is plenty.

      TBF I mostly eat PBJ toast, so the gobs of jam effect isn’t something I have to worry about

        It’s mostly an issue for sauces rather than jam or jelly. The other comment just reminded me of my old method where I’d inadvertently seal the bread away and then get more dripping.
