Spoon? Knife? About This Page:

[lukeandbrookesmom]

While making my PB&J at work today a coworker started laughing at me because I was using a spoon to spread the jelly. Um, ok, that's how I was taught as a child - by using a jelly spoon. She started laughing and telling me there's no such thing Whatever. We also use a butter knife at home to spread butter.

So, am I the only one left to use a jelly spoon and a butter knife?

[GoofEme]

Nope, I always use a knife for the pb and a spoon for the jelly.
Do you put both on the same slice of bread, or pb on one slice and jelly on the other and then slap it together?

It's the old you say toma(y)to, I say toma(h)to. I love pb&j though, I'm going to go fix me one now

[Colexis Mom]

I don't make many PB&J's (it's PB and fluff here) but I've always used the butter knife!

[DawnK]

I use the butter knife for the pb and then make sure the knife is clean with the other slice af bread and then out the jelly on with the same knife. My dd and dh use 2 different knives.

Yep knife for pb on one slice and spoon for jelly on the other slice slap them together and cut into 4 pieces.....that is how I and my two oldest DGDs do it.....lol They also like their bread slightly toasted....guess cause the bread doesn't stick to their teeth that way....lol Yes they are spoiled at mawmaw's house...

I never heard of using a spoon to spread jelly. I use the same knife for peanut butter and then the jelly cleaning all the peanut butter off on the bread first.

We only use a spoon for jam or preserves if we're having toast and jam - for a sandwich it's a knife.

This is what I do as well.

I usually use a butter knife for both the peanut butter and the jelly, but I have been known to use a spoon as well.

[obsessedwiththemouse]

I use a butter knife for both. I wouldn't laugh at you though, Judi....Eric uses a spoon for pb, jelly, mayo or anything else he wants to spread on bread. As long as it gets on the bread and is edible, does it really matter how it got there?? People are silly....the lady probably uses a spoon secretly.

But there is a serious issue related to this!!! (Like all the sudden I am the serious one). I have heard about kids being thrown out of school for taking knives that they use to cut sandwiches and that sort of thing. That is just nuts. One boy took a Swiss Army Knife to school and was expelled. Geeze

[saremca]

I use whatever is closest, knife, spoon, fork. Who cares, as long as you get your PB&J? It seems pretty silly for her to laugh at you for something so trivial. People are weird.

Only use a knife to spread jelly and stuff...Unless they are all dirty they I would use a spoon.

I would google some jelly spoon images and email her the URL... She probably doesn't know about those wooden honey "spoons", salt cellars and spoons, seafood forks, etc. either.

So you took a jelly spoon to work with you? Or you were using a plastic spoon?
Either way- who cares, right? You got the jelly on the bread..
Where I work, the jelly is in those little plastic containers.. only a knife would even work very well
