Wait, but how do I separate the peanut butter from the jelly?

I'm much more a PB & Honey guy but for both I'll be honest... I don't make a sandwich. Single slice all the way.
About 15 years ago, I switched to open faced PB& J sandwiches. Each slice of bread gets peanut butter first, then jam or preserves on top. It's perfect.
Nobody else does this?

Why would you have jelly with peanut butter?
Surely it's too sweet? Pb and Jam is already pushing it for sweetness (still delicious though)

Pb&j goes on a tortilla. It is best as a burrito, or chimichanga if you have a pot of hot oil.
Wrong, wrong, everyone is wrong! Blend it together so it’s a uniform mix of jelly and peanut butter.
Goddamn menace to society, that’s what you are.
We once accidentally got a jar of crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth - didn't check the label. Neither of us had time to go back to the store, so we decided the hell with it - put it in the blender, we'll make it smooth.
Whipped peanut butter is amazing!
Whatever side I want to taste more goes on the bottom.
Goes on the bottom for that bite!
There is no controversy. Peanut butter is the bottom. Anyone who says differently is wrong.
The answer is it doesn't matter. The only important factor is that you cut off all the crusts.

I make PBJ toast for breakfast a lot. Spread peanut butter first, then jelly, eat slices separately.
On "running late" days, I used to make it into a toast sandwich & eat in the car (WFH now). I'd still spread the toppings on both slices out of habit, I think.
I know I am in the minority but I hate PB and J. In my opinion all that does is ruin the peanut butter.
The key is unsweetened peanut butter.
Tastes much better then (and you have to use a small amount of jelly/jam).
IMO, Apple Butter works best.
