Peanut Butter and ...................?

As many of you know, I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER! So when our friend Joseba from Basque Country came for a week to the United States, we tried to introduce him to peanut butter. To our surprise however, he already had tried peanut butter and has even eaten it a couple of times. I was very excited to hear that he was a fellow P.B. lover and asked him about peanut butter and jelly. And his response was, "that is wrong!". Apparently in "british" English, jelly = jello. Peanut butter and Jello....sick. Once we got over that issue we explained how in the U.S., one of the most common things to eat as a kid (and still for Chris and I) was peanut butter and "jam", he still thought that was gross because where he comes from, peanut butter is a savory thing that you eat with LETTUCE or CUCUMBERS!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? And he thought PB&J was gross. To top it off, he told us that a common dessert to eat at a birthday party is jello and ice cream........ whoever created that must have been crazy.
