I fear the cafe at lunch time

Ha ha!  Yes!  There was also a cheaper and nastier brand of it (the Smuckers one is probably not too terrible) which had *orange* jelly in it. 

 

Why is sausage, chips and beans a strange combination? Although I admit it is lacking a fried egg!

I don't know but this is all making me hungry!

Mr Red5 will put salt on his peanut butter sandwiches...no jam, ever. 
As a child I always wanted Mom to buy Goober Grape but she never did. 

I think I am one of the few people who actually liked Goober Grape.

I never knew there was an orange version, though.

I think I would have liked it, but I never got the chance - because like Red5, my mom would never buy it.

I always wanted it too.  We rarely had jelly or jam when I was a kid because my mom was so anti-sweets outside of desserts.  I bought it when I went to uni and didn't think it was all that great.  I even bought the cheap stuff at one point because I had a week short on money and needed something for sandwiches.  It ended up a mushy gross mix after I used it a few times.

Even me spreading peanut butter on apple slices grosses my husband out, although for me it's pure bliss when I am not watching my carbs.  It tastes just like peanut butter and jelly to me.

This thread reminds me of one of my favourite British lunches: Salad sandwiches.  Just pretty much a small tossed salad on bread (usually toast).  I wonder if the OP could find this.  I used to eat them in the States when I was a vegetarian, but I love that they are more common here and have a name.

I wasn't allowed to eat candy at all as a child, but I think my parents rationalized PB&J because the peanut butter has protein and they wanted me to gain weight anyway.

Smuckers Goober was a treat for us. My parents never bought the big brand name jams, it was always the cheap store brand stuff for us, so when we had the goober stuff, it was awesome. I don't think I would have liked an orange version, though. I'm not a big fan of marmalade.

Jon likes to eat peanut butter sandwiches. It's literally just bread and peanut butter and for some reason that seems so wrong to me. It has to have something else, at the very least butter!

Did you guys ever make honey butter (just mixing honey and butter) when you were kids? We loved doing that and then having it with peanut butter. Yum. Oh and apple butter!  I'm on food memory lane now.

Mmmm. Honey butter. Yum!

Easy Coronation Chicken
2 chicken breasts - cooked & chopped
4 Tablespoons mayo
1/4 teaspoon mild curry powder
2 Tablespoons raisins or sultanas
1 teaspoon mango chutney (or a sweet relish)

Mix and enjoy.      (I like mine on fresh bread or rolls.)

you know I have never tried Coronation chicken before but that sounds interesting.

I used to make nearly that same recipe only instead of raisins I used halved red grapes, and sometimes added cashews.  It was really good.

Oh, I think I put a bit of honey in the dressing as well.  Mmmm, might have that for lunch sometime this week.   

I always wanted Goober Jelly, and my mom never bought it for us either.  I thought she was evil for all she denied me, but I'm the least picky and most healthy eater of most of my friends so she must have been right! 

Pretty much everything listed above has made me super starving for food in the UK!  I would murder a fish & chips with extra vinegar and curry sauce, or tuna and sweetcorn, or a jacket potato with just about anything (although coleslaw, beans, and cheese is my favorite) !  I guess I just think of food in the UK and food in the US as 2 entirely separate entities.  It's like comparing apples and oranges.  I love much of the food in the UK, but damn I missed Mexican Food and Sushi when I was in the UK.  Now that I'm home I find myself missing UK food, although the new American Tesco (Fresh and Easy) has helped a wee bit.  I think it helps to keep an open mind, I went to the UK the first time with the bf's perspective that his country has some of the best food in the world.  And, I had some of the best meals of my life. 

I still need to try that chip butty.... Maybe when I come over this summer. 

Last night I made sausage gumbo for dinner (tea).  Peppers, onions, tomatoes, cajun seasoning, etc.  My UK husband asked, "Can I have mine on a jacket potato?"     I thought of this thread and laughed.
