Peanut butter and jelly, an American classic
Peanut butter and jelly, or PB&J, is a famous American sandwich. Many children in the United States eat it for school lunch. It is cheap and easy to make.
The first written recipe appeared in 1901, in a cooking magazine. A writer named Julia Davis Chandler wrote it. At that time, people made it with crab-apple jelly. They thought it was a fancy snack for rich people.
Later, in the 1920s and 1930s, companies began to sell peanut butter in stores. Sliced bread also became easy to buy.
A simple PB&J has two slices of soft bread. You put peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other. Grape jelly is very popular.
Today, some children have a peanut allergy. Because of this, some schools do not allow peanuts. So people use other things, like almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
