I present to you the best ever (probably), one and only (it's not, I checked), uniquely creative (absolutely), Peanut Butter Jelly Time Sandwich Shoppe! It is so profound and extraordinary that we even had to fancy up the name.
Due to my recent inability to draw income from any source, I have had to utilize a very minimalistic menu when it comes to my diet. Because of this peanut butter sandwiches have become a staple. And I must say that it has developed into an art. I think it goes without saying that you can only eat one thing for so long before you abhor it forever. Yea, yea I know everyone has those foods that they say they could eat any time, any day for the rest of their lives, but really?? It can't be done. People need variety to some degree. And because of this innate need, I found myself pushing the envelope on the possibilities of Peanut Butter.
Thanks to my main man George Washington Carver, we have this bountiful resource available for a relatively cheap price. Not only delicious, it satisfies cravings unlike any other. Sweet and salty at the same time, it goes great with any kind of bread or cracker, and can be both crunchy or velvety smooth. It is a wonder that no one has pushed this miracle food to the limit. That's where we come in.
As I was sitting in my extremely blank canvas of an apartment the other day, I felt a rumblin' in my tummy. Instinctively I walked to the refrigerator and opened the door only to find some yogurt, milk, and eggs. I wasn't really in the mood for eggs and yogurt wouldn't fill me up so I decided on a PB sandwich. I had some bananas that had just hit there peak stage of ripeness so I decided to throw those on there as well. I paused after cutting them wondering if there was anything else I could use to make this sandwich even more special. There was! I drizzled a delicate layer of honey on top and then sat down to enjoy. Each bite was heavenly. Only after I had finished did I murmur out loud, "You just can't get this in a store." LIGHT BULB!
So think about all of the sandwich shops you've ever been to. I bet not a single one of them had peanut butter as an option. If it was, it was probably on the kids menu and was as basic as could be. I think it's safe to say that there aren't many people that couldn't go for a peanut butter sandwich every once in a while. I mean, even Elvis ate them until he died on the toilet, probably pooping them out to make room for more. It has been a foundation of our culture and has been used so many different ways throughout our culinary history. So, with that being said, it is time to take the next step.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time offers a wide selection of peanut butter sandwich options. Think of all the different combinations of jelly's and different types of peanut butter. And that doesn't include all of the different bread choices and accessories. Chocolate, Bananas, Apples, Honey, Walnuts, Pecans, if you want it, we will provide it. It is a revolutionary idea in the world of sandwich making. Perhaps, my favorite idea thus far.
Upon further research, there exists a place similar to this. Peanut Butter & Co. is located in New York and focuses on peanut butter sandwiches and also has others like tuna and chicken salad. After reading reviews and browsing the menu, there are obvious fundamental flaws in its design. Granted, it seems to be a trendy and unique little spot and we have to give them props for establishing the idea. However, it's very overpriced and very eclectic. What makes our idea different is the home grown feel as well as the menu flexibility. Rather than put stuff like bacon and carrots on our sandwiches, we have decided to make 'em good instead of just weird. So yea... we get that there is a place like ours already in existence. But ours will be peanut better.
What makes PBJT uniquely different:
1. We offer the consumer the option to build his or her own sandwich, and also the option to create their very own to add to the menu.
2. You certainly won't have to pay $8 for a sandwich that you could make at home for 50 cents.
3. We are strictly peanut butter based. Pretty much everything on the menu contains peanut butter. If you don't like it, then go to Jersey Mike's.
4. The taste is in the details. We realize that there is a big difference between Peter Pan, Reese's, and Skippy. We provide as many different brands as possible because we know that, "Choosy moms don't always choose Jif."
5. Do we serve Nutella? Hell no. That's made from our arch rival, the hazelnut.
6. We are Paula Dean to all the Giada de Laurentiis out there. Rather than fancy and trendy, we focus on more of an at home, southern hospitality approach.
And don't you dare forget about the desert menu. Options include Peanut Butter Pie, Peanut Butter Applesauce and definitely be sure to indulge in our PB Dream. Peanut butter ice cream with melted peanut butter and chocolate sauce oozing all over the top. Thanks to my momma for that one.
Everyone, it seems, has a different peanut butter sandwich recipe. A sandwich that they have perfected over the years in their own unique way. If you don't have anything better to do, send them to us and we promise that when we have enough capital to open Peanut Butter Jelly Time, we will add your sandwich to the menu and put your name on it! I am going to try to figure out a way that we can post a menu to the blog and add everyone's recipes as we get them. That is if anyone actually sends us any. And I hate to say it, but the Abraham (Jiff Crunchy, Bananas, and Honey on Pepperidge Farm Oatmeal Bread) is already taken.
