I use the same ingredients but have a totally different sandwich prep procedure...

Step 1: Make a peanut butter & jelly sandwich
Step 2: Spread peanut butter on top of sandwich
Step 3: Spread peanut butter on the remaining slice of bread
Step 4: Place the peanut buttered slice of bread on top of sandwich


So what inspired the Big Jim? Read about it somewhere or you just really like peanut butter?

I was a kid watching TV and saw a big mac sandwich. I saw those 2 beef patties and thought I should do that with peanut butter. That was my inspiration.

A 2 slice sandwich was never enough. It always leaves you hungry.

It was some time durning Jimmy Carter's presidency.

My hking PB&J recipe goes as follows:

Two (2) slices of Dave's Killer Bread (green label, 21-grain/seed variety)
Substantial amount of Wegman's Crunchy PB
Jelly, any kind will do. I don't love jelly so its just a lubricant
A light drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey
Sliced banana
Slightly crushed up Doritos.


This sammy is a delightful combination of sweet, hot, crunchy, mushy, and cramp-fighting potassium.

You should be selling those at trailheads in the morning to fund your hiking trips. Kinda like Deadheads used to do.

Makwa it was in that exact scenario when I learned to add rosemary to the butter when making grilled cheese sammies. Best $2 I ever spent.
