Same. I tried it once as a kid and hated it. PB sandwich? Delicious. Toast with jam? Awesome. Put the two together? Nope. I think it was probably a texture issue, but I have no desire to try again now in my 40s.
That’s insane (from my North American perspective).
Peanut butter and sweet is the thing peanut butter is used for.
I am actually struggling to find a second example of peanut butter use that I know about that isn’t “take something sweet but slap some peanut butter in there too” (I’ve heard of peanut butter and celery and that just sounds like a desperate way to make raw celery palatable)
Peanut butter and celery is actually great. The water in the celery compensates for any dryness in the peanut butter, so you can eat more peanut butter than if it was by itself.
the concept of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches disgusts me to this day.

Many peanut sauces can be started from a peanut butter base.
peanut butter is just way too sweet on its own. peanuts are insanely calorie-dense. not to mention the awful texture.
People will say that and then use Nutella, which is basically frosting.
But that just sounds like you hate peanut butter, not that peanut butter and jam in a sandwich is an off putting combination.
no, that makes it way worse. and grape of all things…
Why do so many non-Americans assume that it has to be grape? There are other fruits. Strawberry is popular. Blackberry. Raspberry.
because that’s the one which only exists in the us.
Not true at all, I exclusively buy strawberry jams
…what?
Because its the most common. But all those other fruits and peanut butter are gross too.
