PB and J

Abbreviated iconic sandwich

PB and J is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich—sliced bread spread with peanut butter on one side, fruit jelly or jam on the other, pressed together.

It's a staple of American childhood lunches, simple and nostalgic: I packed a PB and J for the road.

Also written PB&J.
