In Australia at least, peanut butter and honey sandwiches are a thing. The taste is actually not bad, and it is possibly healthier than peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
- aussiegeek 7y agoI'm curious where this is a thing more specifically, never heard of this living in Victoria and Queensland
- zbentley 7y agoThis was often a food for kids (<10yo) in Utah, USA, and other rocky mountain states.
- JoBrad 7y agoI've eaten this often, in the Southeast US.
- StuffedParrot 7y agoI grew up eating this (and odder combinations) in new england.
- senectus1 7y agome either in WA
- ydrol 7y agoWas a thing for me in Queensland!
- torstenvl 7y agoVery common in rural or frontier USA
- jimmux 7y agoIt was pretty normal for me in NSW. I used to add sliced banana sometimes as well.
- thmcmahon 7y agoDefinitely a thing growing up in central Victoria in the 80s/90s.
- stevenwoo 7y agoThere are a lot of things that go great with peanut butter and bread if you are open to it besides jam or honey - cheese, butter(toast), hazelnut spread, fresh fruit like bananas. Running out of groceries and living 20 miles from the nearest store leads one down this path of trying whatever is in the refrigerator/pantry.
- ACow_Adonis 7y agoSecond Aussie checking in. Lived in every capital along the east coast, bar Hobart. Also swear I've never heard of this in Australia :\ Make of that what you will.
- chongli 7y agoHoney is almost pure sugar. Healthier than white sugar, maybe, but unlikely to be healthier than high-quality jams made from whole fruit.
- mprovost 7y agoJam is basically a 50/50 mixture of whole fruit and white sugar.
- krageon 7y agoThat really depends on how it is made. It's not useful to make blanket statements like this when there can be a significant amount of deviation from what you expect to be true without it not being jam anymore.
- mprovost 7y agoI think the parent comment was implying that jam can be healthy just because it uses whole fruit as an ingredient. The chemistry behind turning a mixture of fruit and sugar into something called jam is pretty well known - there has to be a certain ratio of sugar for it to "set". Usually this is 1:1. I wrote my comment because I think that people are shocked when they actually see jam being made at home and how much sugar goes into a batch. https://www.compoundchem.com/2014/09/22/what-makes-jam-set-the-chemistry-of-jam-making/ https://www.compoundchem.com/2014/09/22/what-makes-jam-set-t...
- Wh1zz 7y agoI am looking at a whole jar of plum jam made by my grandpa with 0 added sugar.
- throwaway_tech 7y agoThen that is not jam...jam is defined as fruit with added sugar to act as a preservative. The question is what did you granpa use as a preservative? The preservative is going to be the difference between say: jam, marmalade, chutney, etc...
- jonnyscholes 7y agoCan confirm PB&H is a thing in Aus - however peanutbutter and Vegimite is where it's at
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoHahaha, of course I know I’m not alone, but honestly didn’t think I’d see someone here saying that! Peanut butter and Vegimite, and lots of butter.
- mahalol 7y agoI'm so trying this with Marmite when i get back home.
- david_parrott 7y agoMarmite sell this pre-made. https://www.marmite.co.uk/products/marmite-crunchy-peanut-butter-225-g.html https://www.marmite.co.uk/products/marmite-crunchy-peanut-bu...
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoAh, I kinda forget when it’s not in the house, but randomly remember just now. Try using meso instead of vegimite / marmite.
