Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Sandwiches

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an American sandwich of peanut butter and fruit preserves spread on bread. First recorded around 1901 as a suggested tea sandwich, it became widespread once mass production made peanut butter affordable, was valued during the Great Depression for its low cost and nutrition, and was a regular ration for American servicemen in World War II, cementing its place in American food culture.
