    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)

    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

      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

        Jelly sandwiches are actually pretty solid… have you ever had jam on toast?

        You do you, but ketchup on a grilled cheese sounds nasty. Ketchup is a C tier condiment at best.

        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.

          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.

          Not all condiments go with all fillings. For example, ketchup with tuna would be pretty rare, but mayo would be almost a requirement.

      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”.

            Cool, I had to ask because when I read “vegan pho meat” I actually thought you might be talking about pho specifically :)

        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.

    “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.

    Due to naming convention I would say Peanut Butter, supported by “Ham & Swiss” and “Beef & Cheddar”.

    Is this like the popcorn bucket thing? If my peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains your meat I don’t want it.

    “Filling” is the word you’re looking for, not “meat”.

          I agree, but I can back it up: You’d be more disappointed if the cucumbers were missing than if the hummus was.
