Who invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwich? And how did it become one of the most famous lunches in America?
In this episode, a question from listener Leila sends us on a trip through history to find out how peanut butter, jelly, and sliced bread came together to make the classic PB&J. Along the way, we learn about the first written recipe for the sandwich in 1901, how peanut butter went from a fancy food to a lunchbox staple, and why sliced bread changed everything.
To help answer Leila’s question, we turned to our buddy Mick Sullivan, host of the history podcast <a href="https://thepastandthecurious.com/">The Past and the Curious</a>. Mick loved the question so much that he made a whole episode about it—and today we’re sharing it with you.
