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

[โ€“] MagicShel@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago

Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.

[โ€“] Vanth@reddthat.com 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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)

[โ€“] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which lesbian is the protein in this equation

[โ€“] Vanth@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago

Lesbians: a critical part of every healthy diet.

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

[โ€“] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

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

[โ€“] 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.

[โ€“] constantokra@lemmy.one 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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.

But would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with catsup?

[โ€“] 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.

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

[โ€“] 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.

[โ€“] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 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 :)

[โ€“] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Meat is not a requirement in a sandwich

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] 13esq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] 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.ย 

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

  3. The essence, substance, or gist.ย 

    "the meat of the editorial."

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

[โ€“] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

Chaotic neutral, you love to see it

[โ€“] 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.

[โ€“] 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.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Iโ€™ll take it.

[โ€“] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Compelling argument!

[โ€“] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

[โ€“] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] 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.
