Note that “jelly” in North America == “jam” in Britain. It’s another one of those words, like biscuit or pudding.

I use preserves.
I prefer honey. But what I do most mornings is toast with peanut butter, flax meal, hemp hearts, and sunflower seeds.
Preserves. Jelly has an odd texture.
Yes 😉.
I'd say "whichever one has the more chunky/varied texture," which I'm pretty sure puts me in the Jam Camp, but my local groceries never seem to be consistent with whether that should be called a jelly or a jam. I'll take whatever's put in front of me, but I personally enjoy having some texture variety in there with the seeds and fruit bits.
Except for marmalades. I definitely enjoy an orange marmalade on toast, but something about the idea of rinds feels icky in my PB sandwiches 😖.
I burned out on PB&J after basically getting stuck eating it for lunch for most of my childhood. I think I've eaten less than 5 PB&J sandwiches in the past 15 years. But, yeah, not a big fan of jelly, but I do like occasionally putting jam on my toast.
I've used Grape and Apple jelly. All the berries, (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry) have been jams which I've used.
Never!
Marmite and peanut butter is the way.
Or maybe peanut butter and some finely chopped fresh chilli.*
*Chilli flakes are acceptable as a last resort.
The J stands for jam!
Raspberry preserves. Fight me!
oh raspberry preserves are the best!
Not a fan of jelly. Preserves are preferred. Something about those fruit chunks and seeds make it taste better.
I prefer jam. I like preserves as well.
I strongly feel that grape makes the best PB&J's, and I've never seen grape jam, only jelly so that I guess. If I was using any other flavor I would choose the jam option instead
