National Peanut Butter And Jelly Day is celebrated on April 2 every year to appreciate the delicacy which has found its way into NYC’s dominant tea shops.

In 1901, the sandwich received a mention in the "Boston Cooking School Magazine of Culinary Science and Domestic Economics" in an article penned by Julia Davis Chandler who first introduced the food item in the U.S.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the most convenient option to beat hunger for college and office goers alike because it takes minimal effort to make one.

The combination of nutty butter and fruity jelly is also a comfort food for people who live by themselves in big cities. It is believed that whether served as a classic food favorite or a quick breakfast option, one can never go wrong with a PB&J.

Most of the Americans grew up eating the sandwiches and can recall their parents packing some in their lunch boxes before they would leave for school. Many others would also recall making PB&J as the first meal on their own. Either way, the simplistic yet delectable sandwiches have left an indelible impression in the lives of the Americans.

Here are some quotes about PB&J that prove the sandwich is a clear rockstar: (Courtesy- azquotes.com)
