Mention a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in England, however, and you will most definitely get some funny looks.
First of all, what they refer to as "jelly" is what we call "Jell-o" (or gelatin if you are avoiding brand names.) What we call jelly, they call jam. Peanut butter is the same here, if not better. But putting them together? That's just crazy!
Sandwiches here tend to be simple - take two pieces of bread, butter both, and put something in the middle. Cheese or ham or jam or something. Usually just one thing, but gourmet sandwiches are available.
So I'm not really sure what they do with their peanut butter here. There is plenty available at the supermarket, so somebody must like it.
But don't even think about combining it with their chocolate!
