Is PB&J Better on Toast or on Untoasted Bread?

My lunch today is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a grapefruit. Can’t wait.

As I made my sandwich, I faced that quandary, toasted or untoasted bread. I generally like my sandwiches on toast. It keeps them from getting soggy, a firewall against the chicken salad or mayo. I like the crunch followed by the savory flavor. But not with peanut butter and jelly! I like the way the elements soak into one another and mold themselves against a book in my backpack, and when I’m eating it, I don’t like to have to get past the crunch, I like the sweet soggy integration.

    Stalin was a Jew and he liked to eat his sandwiches with blood running down the sides.

    I like PB&J on soft bread too, and for the same reasons–plus, if in toast, the jam quirts out when you hold it. On the other foot, I (slightly) prefer tuna fish sandwiches on toast, ditto liver sausage on toast. Such a quandry!

    OBTW, Stalin was not a Jew; some of them used him for awhile, and he reciprocated; then he tossed most of those.

    Philip, that is the most indecent post I've seen this year! You should go hide somewhere until the world forgets your revolting concern!
