30 Non-Americans Who Tweeted Their Confusion About America

This gets rehashed all the time. "Jelly" in the UK is what Americans would call "jello." So yes a PB and jello sandwich would be disgusting. Jelly in the US is jam or marmalade in the UK. PB and jam is amazing.

I love how people in Europe will freak about PB&J, then eat Nutella piled 2.5 cm high on toast...

(hides pb and j sandwich.) yes, its an inside joke. No one eats that.....lol

Yes, oh GOD yes oh YES oh yes oh nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom yeeaaaasssssss.

In England we eat PB&J- peanut butter and jam

If someone can't make a decent PB&J, we know they're a spy.

Is "jelly" something other than a sort of jam but made with fruit juice instead of the fruit in other parts of the world? I've hear this one before and I get the impression that people elsewhere in the world are thinking something than we are actually eating. Kind of like how US pudding would be what the UK calls custard rather than what pudding actually is in the UK.

peanut butter is the most consumed breakfast food on the planet. I won trivia one week with that pearl of knowledge

Peanut butter is an inexpensive protein. And a PB&J is easy to make.

Izzi I really hope you're not from England because I would ask "Is chutney actually eaten or left out to kill zombies!". How dare you make fun of my precious peanutbutter and jelly ! Disgusting looking? Yes ! Tasty? Absolutely !!!!

If this not exist, life wouldn't have a mean....

No, PB and Grape jelly is awesome!

I've only ever eaten peanut butter in one other country (New Zealand) and it was nasty. Maybe I just bought the wrong brand, but when I mentioned it to my hosts they told me that peanut butter just isn't as big a thing there as it is here, which gave me the impression that their peanut butter generally isn't as good. (There may have been more to this conversation to give me that impression. It was nine years ago.) Ever since then I've just assumed that pb&j hasn't taken off in other countries because their peanut butter doesn't taste as good. I don't know why it wouldn't since the best peanut butter is just mooshed up peanuts (no salt, sugar, or whatever abomination they put in Jif and Skippy to give it that frosting-like consistency), and the roasted peanuts I bought at the grocery store in NZ tasted fine.

Canadian here . The jelly can be purple grape jelly which is a kind like a clear grape jam. Great with PB! Also jam, of course. And banana!

how do people not eat this? where do you even live?

AND hotdogs with cheese

anyone else eat this with cheetos or is it just me?

I grew up loving peanut butter and jelly. Still do. So many variations can be made too.

I'm from NZ and I love peanut butter and jam sammies. I very thin smear of hot English mustard under the jam is good too.

I prefer peanut butter and Ruffles myself. Delish. If my girls don't like what we're having for dinner and after they've tried a bite per age they're absolutely allowed to make their own pb&j or pb&h. Even my 2 year old can make one. Not good, but it gets done.

America is a continet, NOT a country

Wait, other people don't?

I have eaten a PB&J samwich for lunch almost every day of my life, yes, it's true.

It's so good !

One of the best sandwiches. If you leave it overnight, the jelly crystallizes and it's even better.

PB&J sandwiches are awesome.

Yep. They're delicious.

I never understood the bread part. and pancakes look odd :))

They are life

I. didn't iuntil I was like, 6. I am a U.S. citizen.

I found this very very weird until I found out that "jelly" in America is just what I would call "jam". Then I was like oh OK, I eat peanut butter and jam sandwiches too. (My idea of "jam" is what Americans would call "jello" so, a peanut butter and jello sandwich... no.)

try peanutbutter and nutella, gouda cheese and blueberry jelly or sausage with sugar :-P

Far better than vegemite.

Yes, I do too and I'm British. It tastes great.
