Grill Cheese vs Peanut Butter and Jelly

[Malfoy]

On another board I post on someone brought up this question and it's getting pretty heated. Names are being called, families threatened, etc, so I figured why not bring the thread here and see what develops. :)

Preconditions:
Both using white bread.

PB&J consists of ONLY PB&J
Grill cheese consists only of cheese.

[Jaffa Cake]

Cheese on toast is the hot snack of champions.

A mature Cheddar or Red Leicester is the cheese of choice for such a dish.

Red Leicester deffo, although for me it has to be wholemeal bread.

[OdduWon]

A buttery crispy Grilled Cheese sandwich is oh so delicious, but some days i would rather have a chunky PB&J ;)

[iTeen]

I love both equally... but i voted for a gril cheese cause' thats what i just made myself...tasty thread:D

[Lau]

Ooh, cheese, no question. I had a cheddar and pickle (Branston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branston_Pickle), not gherkin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickled_cucumber)) toastie for lunch today. A nice variation is Stilton with some sliced grapes. :)

[Jaffa Cake]

By the way Malfoy – you've not shared your preference with us yet. ;)

[Malfoy]

By the way Malfoy – you've not shared your preference with us yet. ;)

Grill cheese allll the way.

[rockthecasbah]

Grilled Cheese destroys PB&J hands down. Add tomato soup with that Grilled Cheese and you've got the meal of champions.

[Eric5h5]

It's "grilled cheese", not "grill cheese", but yes, it's inherently superior to PB&J, which is frequently yucky.

--Eric

[mkrishnan]

Grill cheese is amazing, but I don't let myself indulge in it as often as PBJ... Also it's really meant to have a tomato in it, in my world. Although with some tomato soup, I could also be content.

So alas I voted PBJ....

Oh, wait, frack... PBJ on white bread? I don't really eat white. I only eat wheat...hmmm...

[mrwizardno2]

*drool* Grilled cheese, all the way!

[119576]

Definitely grilled cheese.

I want a toastie now, damn you Lau! (Medium cheddar, ham and beans. yesplease)

[JNB]

If you even have to ask, you need therapy.

[gauchogolfer]

Grilled cheese for sure.
I think I'll make myself one here soon:
Baguette, grilled with butter and garlic brushed on it
Comte and Gruyere for the melty cheese part.
Perfection.

Besides the fact that I'm lactose intolerant,

GRILLED CHEESE BABY.

[psycoswimmer]

Tough decision! okay i actually don't like either...

[eric55lv]

pb&j=ewwwwww!
Grill Cheese=taste buds going to heaven with a side trip to paridise

[rdowns]

Grilled cheese and mine gets bacon on it. :D

[Oryan]

I just finished a big bowl of tomato soup and now this thread is making me want some grilled cheese to go with it. :)

[Nukemkb]

definitely grilled cheese AND a small bowl of salsa to dip it into!!:D

[Sun Baked]

Quesadilla with some leftover meat, avocado, and a little salsa.

[nbs2]

I feel oh so lonely, but I'm going to say PB/J.

There isn't enough information - what kind of PB/J/cheese? If both are done right, nothing beats PB/J on warm toast.

Best. Sandwich. Ever.

[Sayewhat]

PB&J guy. Even better on toasted bread.

[Stampyhead]

I abhor peanut butter in any form, so this was an easy decision.

I guess all we have to do to keep you off the nude supermodel is use some peanut butter. :o

[notjustjay]

It's easier to dip a grilled cheese sandwich in ketchup, so it gets my vote.

[Stampyhead]

I guess all we have to do to keep you off the nude supermodel is use some peanut butter. :o

Yeah, pretty much. Unless she's extra hot, then I'd just hold my nose so I couldn't taste it. The peanut butter, that is...

[kymac]

mmmm toasted peanut butter and jelly with chocolate milk is the best midnight snack ever. actually best anytime snack ever.

I was very shocked when I saw the results! I don't like GC as much as PB&J. GC is too strong, sometimes. But it's great with some tomato soup.

But I'm sorry, PJ&B (if made right,) is the best sandwich. With Milk.

[CorvusCamenarum]

Daytime/early evening/maybe even dinner - grilled cheese, preferably on texas toast with equal parts yellow and white cheese. Also preferably with soup.

Late night - peanut butter on buttermilk or oat bread and an icy glass of milk.

So I vote for both.

You're the type that calls it soda pop arent you?:(

[joepunk]

Tough choice.

I like PB&J on toasted wheat bread. sometimes the toast is still warm other times after I make PB&J I put it in the fridge to cool it off for a hot afternoon.

A GC has to have better than cheddar/kraft cheese.

Will not touch white bread.

[tMac85]

PB and J with CHUNKY

GRILLED CHEESE with MUNSTER.

if its not chunky its Grilled Cheese

if its not munster its PBJ

[tobefirst]

Grilled cheese, made with American cheese, squished flat as a pancake.

[ibook30]

The Grilled Cheese wins. Hands down.
And since the moon is made of cheese, it's actually a grilled moon sandwich.

[Cassie]

Dang that's a tough one. I absolutely LOVE grilled cheese. But PB&J is also really good.

When it all comes down to it, I can only have two grilled cheese sandwiches before getting sick, but I can have like 5 PB&J, so PB&J wins.

Although no white bread for me-only wheat.

[Foxglove9]

Very tough choice. if I'm making it, then hands down PB&J it is. I love the way I make it... either on a toasted bagel, Italian bread, or just plain wheat/white bread. Milk or Yoohoo to wash it down.

Now if my mom is preparing the meal then grilled cheese it is. Because she makes the best GC in the world. Sometimes even add some sliced pickles. What a treat!

[ucfgrad93]

PB & J all the way!!!!!!!

[Prof.]

Grilled Cheese FTW!:D

[CorvusCamenarum]

You're the type that calls it soda pop arent you?:(

Im a Southerner - its Coke, even when it's Pepsi.

[teflon]

Grilled cheese all the way!! NO white bread though, whole grain bread (5 grains, flax seeds etc). Fat free kraft cheese, bread toasted till brown :D. Mmmmmm.
PB&J ain't bad either, but no chunky. Smooth PB plus strawberry/rasberry jam is great for brunch.

[Blue Velvet]

Besides the fact that I'm lactose intolerant,

GRILLED CHEESE BABY.



There is no lactose in cheese. Making cheese removes the lactose.

[Aranince]

PB&J FTW:cool:

[Berlepsch]

Ham.

[Abstract]

Cheese on toast is the hot snack of champions.

A mature Cheddar or Red Leicester is the cheese of choice for such a dish.

For grilled cheese sandwiches, I prefer mine on 2 pieces of white bread, and I want the packaged "plastic" cheese from Kraft. The 2 pieces of white bread should both be buttered on both sides, and a sandwich press (aka: sandwich "maker") should be used.


PB&J is very good, though. Veeeeery good. ;)

[Iscariot]

I can't even eat cheese, and yet I have no choice but to vote for the obvious superiority of a grilled cheese sammich.

[Schtumple]

Grilled cheese and marmite ftw :D

[imac/cheese]

Grilled cheese is great when the cheese is good like a sharp cheddar, but peanut butter (no jelly for me) is so easy to make so I only have to spend about 30 seconds making my meal. Plus since it doesn't have to be refridgerated, I can take it with me to work or leave a jar in my desk for whenever I get hungry. I have to vote for PBw/oJ.

[wyatt23]

while i REALLY like pbj, i love grilled cheese.

tho if i'm lazy, then it's pbj. if i'm feeling diligent, cheese all the way. any kind of cheese, any kind of bread.

[olliebraves20]

I have to go with Grilled Cheese....it just never gets old....

[Rhosfelt]

PB&J for me, I hate cheese :P

[wPod]

PB&J all the way. Creamy Peanut butter and grape jelly. More flavor, more protein and more calories than a grilled cheese. wheat bread would add even more goodness, but i dont like the flavor or texture of wheat so i think the original white bread is still in the winning for PB&J.

[Templex]

PB&J. Cheese, with bread? Ugh. The only times I like cheese are when eating Goldfish and cheeseburgers.

[thefnshow]

pb&j....with a really thick layer of peanut butter

[Xanis]

Grilled cheese all the way. Cut diagonally of course... because cutting a grilled cheese any other way besides diagonal should be illegal.

[siurpeeman]

totally depends on the situation. but most of the time, give me pb&j.

[Abstract]

Grilled cheese and marmite ftw :D

.........*slap*

[OdduWon]

Grilled Cheese over this "Food" any day

[JimmyDreams]

On a cold winter day, it's a GRILLED PB&J for me!!

Make a PB&J, then butter the outside and grill like a grilled cheese....mmmmMMMMMmmm. Just watch out as the PB&J inside melts and becomes this gooey gelatinous mess. It's best to have some Lays original potato chips around to help sop up the mess.

All washed down with ice cold 2% milk.

Instant bliss.
Instant mess.
Instant heart attack.

[Frisco]

Grilled Cheese. Instead of buttering the bread, I put mayonnaise on the outsides. Easier to spread and in my opinion tastes better.

[iSaint]

mmmm toasted peanut butter and jelly with chocolate milk is the best midnight snack ever. actually best anytime snack ever.

Ah, the few and the proud! I can't believe cheese is winning over teh PBJ!

[Stampyhead]

Ok, the only thing more revolting than peanut butter is my mom's favorite snack where she puts the two choices together. She'll make a ham and cheese sandwich and then put peanut butter on it. :eek: Where's the vomit smiley when you need him?

[me_94501]

Peanut butter jelly
peanut butter jellly
peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat! :D

If it were PB&J vs a tuna melt, however... mmm

[Tom B.]

Cheese on Toast over Peanut Butter and Jam any day of the week.

In fact, Peanut Butter and Jelly/Jam is pretty much only considered a logical combination within America as far as I know. Feel free to correct me though.

[Blue Velvet]

You stand corrected. I and others have indulged on two other continents... myself, a preference for raspberry or strawberry jam with it. I love peanut butter; I can eat it out of the jar. :o

[EricNau]

I love peanut butter; I can eat it out of the jar. :o
That is nothing to be ashamed of! :D

I love peanut butter, although, I generally don't like Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches, but that depends on a lot of things like my mood, or how lazy I'm feeling.

But I love Grilled Cheese Sandwiches! Basically, you can't go wrong with cheese.

[ErikCLDR]

I dunno if its just me but I've never heard a grillED cheese be called a grill cheese.

But what ever you call it a G.C. is soooo much better.

[jackiecanev2]

Grilled (soy) cheese, please.

[teflon]

There are soy cheese?!:confused:

[JesLam07]

It seems like Grilled Cheese is becoming the most popular.

I am a grilled cheese girl myself, but only if it is with tomato soup. I just have to dip my grilled cheese in that tomatoeee goodness lol

I've never been a fan a PB&J. I do like Peanut butter sandwhiches sometimes, but I mostly like peanut butter on toast. I don't do jelly.

[Naimfan]

+1!

I am with you, young Skywalker.....

[GSMiller]

While I love a good PB&J, it always nauseates me.

So my vote goes for grilled cheese.

[LizKat]

I can't believe I read all these replies. In winter I will read anything related to food just to keep from going out in the kitchen to eat anything not nailed down.

Grilled cheese for me. Can't stand jelly with pb, esp not on white bread which is almost a dealbreaker even for the GC.

But, try broiling a Kaiser roll, throwing on some little slices of Monterey jack, continue broiling (watchfully!), then shake on some red pepper flakes and have it with tomato soup!

[phungy]

Tough choice! I usually eat PB with honey though so my vote is going to grilled cheese with tomato soup! :D

[2nyRiggz]

PB and J or Grill Cheese...damn thats a tough one.

Im going to pick PB & J....Strawberry and guava jam yummy!


Bless

[saxman]

PB&J with homemade freezer strawberry jam. I do not like any commercial jam/jelly. I ate two of these sandwiches a day throughout my undergrad years. Not very nutritious, but fast and cheap.

I've never had a grilled cheese sandwich - not that much into cheese. I guess I've led a sheltered life

[twoodcc]

i voted for grilled cheese, even though pb&j is probably a little better for you

[semperfimarine2]

pb&j allllllllllllll the way!

you can only have one, two at max, of gc, but with pb&j it's an all day thing.

sorry guys, but thats just me.

[tkidBOSTON]

Depends on my mood and the conditions, but being cold and icy today, I cast my vote for grilled cheese. Mmmmm.

[djejrejk]

Grilled cheese is the clear favorite

[floriflee]

I have yet to have a situation where I will take a PB&J over grilled cheese. The oh so yummy cheesy toasted goodness just can't be beat. Even better when it goes with tomato soup. Mmm mmm mmm!
