Strawberry Jam vs Grape Jelly: You Decide!

While bread and meat have gone together almost since the dawn of time, it wasn't until the 17th century that the idea of a "sandwich", placing meat between thin slices of bread that have been spread with butter, was observed.

The term 'sandwich' is ascribed to Edward Gibbon who wrote about the creation of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, in his journal. An order of meat tucked between bread so it could be held while the Earl of Sandwich was playing cards caught on in popularity among others of the 18th century aristocracy.

Since then the creation of hundreds of different types of sandwiches has happened; some based on local delicacies while others are internationally known. One of the most popular and well known is the Peanut Butter and Jelly. A sandwich that has filled the lunch boxes of school children for decades and has been a kind of "comfort" food for adults.

Commonly, a PB&J as it's known, consists of two pieces of bread, one slice spread with peanut butter, the other with a fruit preserve. The great debate has always been what type of jam or jelly makes a "true" (or best) PB&J.

Here's where you, dear reader, decide which is better: Strawberry Jam or Grape Jelly?
