About this episode

This episode explores the history of the iconic peanut butter and jelly sandwich and its ingredients.

You might be surprised to learn the history of the iconic sandwich and all of the ingredients that go into the recipe. First published in 1901, the availability of peanut butter, jelly and sliced bread has changed a lot over the years. And that's great, so let's eat (or just listen). Special thanks to Lindsay and Marshall from Tumble Podcast for their inspiration on the subject, and help with this episode!
