As an Australian I'd like to say that jelly doesn't go in sandwiches or anywhere near peanut butter. Jelly is a dessert food. Some people like it with ice cream or cake or pudding. It doesn't go with savoury lunch foods.
I think this is something that gets lost in translation sometimes between different English dialects
When you say "jelly"are you referring to a fruit preserve similar to jam that gets it's gelatinous qualities from pectin
Or are you referring to a gelatin-based dessert like Jello?
When most Americans talk about peanut butter & jelly, we're talking about the former.
We don't have the word "jello" in Australian English, so I'm not sure what you're asking.
Here in Australia, what we know as "Jelly" is what Americans call "Jello" and what they call "Jelly" is like a pulpless, seedless Jam. A PB&J is Peanut butter and grape jam in a sandwhich.
It doesn't have to be grape. And it can have pulp and/or seeds, but most people prefer the type without.
Maybe you need some visual aids
I believe this is a common brand where you are
So which one were you thinking of when you wrote your comment.
