Smooth or crunchy?

I would have said "crunchy" but is moot since all peanut products have been exorcised from my house in the wake of Christmas Day's Great Anaphylactic Discovery.

Vegemite though, we all love that of course. Just had a vegemite sandwich myself, and a honey one too. Boring but quick to make in the morning getting ready for work.

I have to confess, if we weren't fed vegemite as baby's, I can't imagine facing it as an adult for the first time.

@Seed,

It can make you spell babies "baby's" if you eat too much of it.

I was kinda wondering when that would come up. Sorry 'bout that.

Also love the fact that one of this topic's tags is now vegemite.

PS Had a crunchy PBJ avec broccoli sprouts this AM, on toasted oat bran something or other high fiber bread. I am now able to face a day of job searching and other assorted difficult stuff.

If no-one is eating the stuff, how do we know if it is crunchy or smooth ? Anyone had hagis and lived ? Tell the truth now, I will know if you are dead...

Geeze . . . somebody needs to enlighten this cultural misunderstanding here. What other English speakers may call "jelly" is referred to in the United States as gelatin, or by the trade name "Jello." There are three ways that fruit is perserved in the United States. One is to make a compote of the fruit, and add pectin to preserve it, and that is usually referred to as preserves. Another way is to make a fruit compote in a gelatin form with pieces of the fruit in the gelatin, use pectin to preserve it, and that is usually referred to as jam. The final way is to make a juice or a syrup of the fruit and make it into a gelatin with pectin, without pieces of the fruit in it, and Americans call that jelly.

@dadpad,

No, the broccoli is a personal preference of Jespah. The sammich only requires peanut butter and jelly (or jam, or preserves--i'd say most people actually use jam or preserves, although Concord grape jelly is very popular). It is a classic food given to children by a mother or father who finds it to be quick and easy. The standard method is to spread peanut butter on one slice of bread, put jelly, jam or preservers on the other, and slap 'em together to form a sammich.

Personally, i blame George Washington Carver.
