peanut butter and jelly

Sticky sandwich duo

Peanut butter and jelly is an American sandwich staple: peanut butter and fruit preserves spread on bread.

The combination is so ubiquitous in American childhood that it serves as shorthand for something basic, familiar, or perfectly paired: Those two go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Often abbreviated PB&J.
