Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

Socratic intetjection: What's the meat in a hummus and cucumber sandwich?
In my heart I feel it's the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up
I agree, but I can back it up: You'd be more disappointed if the cucumbers were missing than if the hummus was.
Due to naming convention I would say Peanut Butter, supported by "Ham & Swiss" and "Beef & Cheddar".
Compelling argument!
"Nut meat" is a common phrase so I would guess the peanut product is closest, but please stop this line of thought for your own safety.
Meat is not a requirement in a sandwich
Counterpoint: Animal flesh is not a requirement to be called "meat".
Culinarly the term often used is "protein". So in this case, PB
It's implied. If I paid for a meat sandwich and I was given a pb&j, I'd be asking for a refund.
Does a sandwich have to have meat?
The PB and J are both fillings, or toppings for the case of an open sandwich.
"Filling" is the word you're looking for, not "meat".
The peanut butter and jelly is the meat with the bread as a condiment
Chaotic neutral, you love to see it
Is this like the popcorn bucket thing? If my peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains your meat I don't want it.
Iโll take it.
That a non-offensive version of asking "whose the man" to a lesbian couple.
The answer is "neither", and you look dumb for asking.
Got it, instead of asking which is the man, I will now ask which lesbian in the relationship has nuts and/or meat. Thank you for helping me be a better ally!
(Obligatory jk, please don't ask this question to any lesbian)
Which lesbian is the protein in this equation
Lesbians: a critical part of every healthy diet.
Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.
The peanut butter, with it's thicker texture and protein is obviously the meat, and the jelly, with it's more liquidy texture and lack of nutrition is the condiment
Jelly can have some nutrition but yeah peanut butter is the protein. Most vegan pho meat is from legumes after all.
Do you mean "faux" meat? "Pho" is Vietnamese soup. "Faux" comes from French and means "fake" or "imitation", and is pronounced like "foe".
indeed I do but I forget it spelt like that. not that I spell particularly well to begin with.
Cool, I had to ask because when I read "vegan pho meat" I actually thought you might be talking about pho specifically :)
I second this.
I'd eat a peanut butter sandwich without the jelly, but I don't think I'd ever eat just a jelly sandwich.
Similar question for cheese and ketchup, you'd be more likely to eat a cheese sandwich without ketchup than a ketchup sandwich without cheese
You do you, but ketchup on a grilled cheese sounds nasty. Ketchup is a C tier condiment at best.
Jelly sandwiches are actually pretty solid... have you ever had jam on toast?
Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That's disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.
If you've never tried it before, a grilled cheese sandwich cut into your favourite shapes just calls out to be dipped in ketchup. And if ketchup is too much, a creamy tomato soup is also acceptable.
But would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with catsup?
Dunno about that, but a heaping tablespoon full in a pot of chili is bomb.
Not all condiments go with all fillings. For example, ketchup with tuna would be pretty rare, but mayo would be almost a requirement.
Peanut is a versatile flavor. Sweet, savory, whatever.
You could use it with ketchup if you like. The mix could be a pretty nice combo to use as a sauce for a Thai dish, honestly. Just on bread would probably be pretty overwhelming alone.
