About
A peanut butter and pickle sandwich (PB&P) consists of bread, peanut butter, and pickles. The pickles in the peanut butter and pickle sandwich add a crunchy, and tangy feeling in the sandwich. It dates to the Depression era and has attracted attention for its appeal to stereotypical pregnancy cravings. The New York Times called it "a thrifty and unacknowledged American classic."
