Stir-fried licorice?” Jelly feels a little sick – especially when Narwhal suggests it tastes like all three combined.Ĭopyright Ben Clanton, 2018, courtesy of Tundra Books. Narwhal tries to imagine what it tastes like. When Narwhal comes upon Jelly eating what looks like a delicious waffle, he wants in! But it’s not a waffle, Jelly tells him it’s a peanut butter cookie! Narwhal thinks this sounds ridiculous, and Jelly is shocked to find out that Narwhal has never heard of peanut butter. Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Narwhal and Jelly Book By Ben Clanton I’m thrilled to partner with Tundra Books in a giveaway of one copy of Peanut Butter and Jelly! See details below. Today, peanut butter and jelly feature prominently in both sweet and savory dishes of all kinds. Peanut butter became an inexpensive lunchtime favorite of children in the 1920s and was a staple of WWII ration lists for soldiers. The first mention of combining jelly with peanut butter may have been by Julia Davis Chandler in 1901. When, in 1896, an article in Good Housekeeping offered instructions on grinding your own peanuts, and Table Talk magazine published a recipe for making a peanut butter sandwich, peanut butter began to enter the mainstream. ![]() ![]() PB & J is a perennial favorite! These tasty sandwiches are so popular that the average American will eat more than 2,000 by the time they graduate from high school! In the early 1900s, peanut butter was a rare treat, served only in the most upscale New York City tea rooms. ![]()
