That a non-offensive version of asking "whose the man" to a lesbian couple.
The answer is "neither", and you look dumb for asking.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago

Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 13 points 1 month ago

Got it, instead of asking which is the man, I will now ask which lesbian in the relationship has nuts and/or meat. Thank you for helping me be a better ally!

(Obligatory jk, please don't ask this question to any lesbian)

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Which lesbian is the protein in this equation

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago

Lesbians: a critical part of every healthy diet.

[-] all-knight-party@kbin.run 26 points 1 month ago

The peanut butter, with it's thicker texture and protein is obviously the meat, and the jelly, with it's more liquidy texture and lack of nutrition is the condiment

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I second this.

I'd eat a peanut butter sandwich without the jelly, but I don't think I'd ever eat just a jelly sandwich.

Similar question for cheese and ketchup, you'd be more likely to eat a cheese sandwich without ketchup than a ketchup sandwich without cheese

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Jelly sandwiches are actually pretty solid... have you ever had jam on toast?

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

You do you, but ketchup on a grilled cheese sounds nasty. Ketchup is a C tier condiment at best.

[-] constantokra@lemmy.one 3 points 1 month ago

Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That's disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago

If you've never tried it before, a grilled cheese sandwich cut into your favourite shapes just calls out to be dipped in ketchup. And if ketchup is too much, a creamy tomato soup is also acceptable.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

But would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with catsup?

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Peanut is a versatile flavor. Sweet, savory, whatever.

You could use it with ketchup if you like. The mix could be a pretty nice combo to use as a sauce for a Thai dish, honestly. Just on bread would probably be pretty overwhelming alone. Balance it against something.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Not all condiments go with all fillings. For example, ketchup with tuna would be pretty rare, but mayo would be almost a requirement.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Dunno about that, but a heaping tablespoon full in a pot of chili is bomb.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Jelly can have some nutrition but yeah peanut butter is the protein. Most vegan pho meat is from legumes after all.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Do you mean "faux" meat? "Pho" is Vietnamese soup. "Faux" comes from French and means "fake" or "imitation", and is pronounced like "foe".

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 1 month ago

indeed I do but I forget it spelt like that. not that I spell particularly well to begin with.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Cool, I had to ask because when I read "vegan pho meat" I actually thought you might be talking about pho specifically :)

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

Meat is not a requirement in a sandwich

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

Counterpoint: Animal flesh is not a requirement to be called "meat".

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Culinarly the term often used is "protein". So in this case, PB

[-] 13esq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's implied. If I paid for a meat sandwich and I was given a pb&j, I'd be asking for a refund.

[-] Openopenopenopen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The definition of meat is ,

noun

  1. The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry. 

  2. The edible part, as of a piece of fruit or a nut. 

  3. The essence, substance, or gist. 

    "the meat of the editorial."

If boneless chicken wings can have bones that a meat sandwich can be meatless, right? Of course I’m teasing. I agree with you.

[-] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

The peanut butter and jelly is the meat with the bread as a condiment

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

Chaotic neutral, you love to see it

[-] BCOVertigo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

"Nut meat" is a common phrase so I would guess the peanut product is closest, but please stop this line of thought for your own safety.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago

Does a sandwich have to have meat?

The PB and J are both fillings, or toppings for the case of an open sandwich.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Due to naming convention I would say Peanut Butter, supported by "Ham & Swiss" and "Beef & Cheddar".

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Compelling argument!

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Is this like the popcorn bucket thing? If my peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains your meat I don't want it.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I’ll take it.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

"Filling" is the word you're looking for, not "meat".

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Socratic intetjection: What's the meat in a hummus and cucumber sandwich?

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

In my heart I feel it's the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I agree, but I can back it up: You'd be more disappointed if the cucumbers were missing than if the hummus was.
