Peanut Butter and Jellyfish were the best of friends— best of friends who spent their days exploring up, down, around, and through their grand ocean home.
Unluckily for them, though, they lived near Crabby. “You guys swim like humans!” he would taunt as they slipped past. Peanut Butter and Jellyfish did their best to ignore the heckler. “Did you hear something?” asked Jellyfish. “No, must be the current,” said Peanut Butter. Crabby was relentless. “You guys smell like rotten barnacles! Pee-yew!” “My grandma called. She wants her run-walk shoes back!” “I’ve seen sea snails swim with more style.” “What a bunch of bubbleheads!” Jellyfish puffed up his chest and said, “Driftwood and sea stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us.” “You’re an invertebrate! You don’t even have any bones,” huffed Crabby as he marched along his favorite rock by himself. One day, as Peanut Butter and Jellyfish set out on an excursion to the great reef, they swam past Crabby’s perch. They braced themselves for the usual insults. But all was quiet. Then they heard the faint sound of sobbing up ahead. It was Crabby! He was caught in a lobster trap. And it was being lifted to the surface! “I-I-I’m scared,” he cried.
Surely, he was doomed. “Should we help?” asked Jellyfish. The two friends shared a look. “He is in serious trouble,” said Peanut Butter. “You’re right. We have to help!” exclaimed Jellyfish. “But how?” “I have a plan,” said Peanut Butter. “Follow me.” They swam up to the lobster trap. Peanut Butter used his tail to unlock the trap’s gate, but Crabby didn’t budge. “Come on. You’re free!” said Peanut Butter. “But-but . . . I can’t swim,” confessed Crabby. “And I’m afraid of heights.” The lobster trap was getting pulled closer to the surface! “Plan B!” exclaimed Jellyfish. He worked furiously on untying the trap’s knot. “Hurry!” cried Peanut Butter. “I can see the fishermen above!” Just when all hope was lost . . . The knot gave out, sending the trap plummeting! Peanut Butter and Jellyfish grabbed ahold and lowered it to safety. Crabby’s legs wobbled as he returned to his favorite rock. “Th-thanks, you t-two,” he stuttered. “Y-You know, I’m sorry for saying those mean things,” Crabby said.
He may have been afraid of heights, but Crabby was brave enough to apologize. “I-I guess I was jealous. You guys seem like you’re always having so much fun explorin’ the open waters.” “Well, there’s plenty to explore close to the ocean floor!” said Jellyfish. Peanut Butter and Jellyfish still swam up, down, around, and through. But it was on the ocean floor that they found their greatest treasure!

Peanut Butter Sandwich is a cult staple for most Americans.
Remember the movie Meet Joe Black? Brad Pitt ate peanut butter throughout the film, with spoons, getting visible pleasure and praising him in every possible way. Why do residents of the American continent love this product so much and what can be cooked with it? I'll start with the second. You can cook a lot, but you can not cook at all - Peanut Butter Sandwich is already beautiful, the main thing is to approach the issue of its assembly correctly. Do you know many people who are ready to eat, for example, butter with spoons? Or who can drink sunflower oil, sipping from a cup like liquor? Peanut butter itself is a fatty thing, quite heavy, with a pronounced taste. There aren't many people like Brad Pitt (or the character he played), most often peanut butter is used as ... like butter, and therefore the peanut butter sandwich is more widely heard than the butter itself. In addition to sandwiches, this product is used as a filling for waffles, it is served with pancakes and pancakes, added to soups and stews, cookies and desserts are prepared on its basis.
In general, nothing unexpected, right? But for some reason I want to talk about a sandwich with peanut butter separately.
First of all, this is actually a legendary thing. If you believe the films, literature and the dropped phrases of my acquaintances who live or lived in the States, more than one generation of American children grew up on this invention. Peanut Butter Sandwiches Proper moms make them in the morning and give their kids to school as a second breakfast or afternoon snack. The same sandwiches are eaten by adult uncles at work, students carry them in their backpacks, grandfathers eat them. In short, there is no reason to doubt the popularity.
- Salute, young man.
- Salute, old boy.
- Did you know that I invented peanut butter and marmalade?
- Do you know that I'm proud of you?
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Why is peanut butter so popular? First, like most plant foods, it is healthy.
Yes, there is one significant minus - this thing is very, very allergic, can lead to very terrible consequences, however, if there are no contraindications and personal intolerance, it is wonderful. Firstly, it is a very satisfying product, which cannot but be a plus for those situations when you need to have a quick bite to eat and run further (school break, a short break at work, five minutes between lectures, and so on). Secondly, in peanut butter, despite the lack of a bunch of things the body needs, there is also a huge amount of vitamins and minerals. In addition, it contains many biologically active substances that generally have a positive effect on human well-being and health. In general, it’s worth a try - who knows, maybe you will fall in love with this invention and also start actively cooking peanut butter sandwiches ?
How to make a peanut butter sandwich
Peanut butter sandwich ingredients
bread;
peanut butter;
jam.
Manual
- There are two types of peanut butter: regular (just pasa) and crunchy (peanut butter with small pieces of nuts). In addition, however, there are still peanut butters with various additives - from chocolate to various dried fruits, but I think that this is no longer butter, but fantasies on a given topic, so I say that in general it can be of two types. This time I have just crunchy - this is how it looks.
- Ordinary white bread is taken. In general, most often not a sandwich is prepared, but a peanut butter sandwich, so special bread is bought - which is square, soft and toasty. I prefer my own, homemade - with it, maybe not so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, but definitely much tastier.
- You can lightly dry it, you can roast it, you can leave it as is - choose the option that you personally like.
- Spread butter on bread. And then - the most important trick: add a couple of spoons of any jam.
It is better, of course, if it is with a sour taste. Beautiful when bright in color. In case you are preparing a sandwich, the second piece of bread is smeared with jam, then the two pieces are folded "face" to each other. If you are making a sandwich, you spread it on top of the butter. - That's it. A simple thing, even writing, in general, there is nothing to write about, but this is something worth trying at least once in your life to understand how you personally feel about the American peanut butter sandwich.
- No less popular is a sandwich with peanut butter and banana - try replacing jam with fruit (by the way, an apple is often found in this version). Those who like savory solutions prepare a sandwich with peanut butter and toasted bacon. You can put a fried egg on top. They often use cheddar cheese. Ernest Hemingway is said to have loved a peanut butter sandwich with onion rings. But Elvis Presley preferred whole grain bread, peanut butter, fried bacon and .
