who came up with peanut butter and jelly
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Peanut butter was originally paired with a diverse set of foods, such as pimento, cheese, celery, watercress, and toasted crackers.[5] In a Good Housekeeping article published in May 1896, a recipe "urged homemakers to use a meat grinder to make peanut butter and spread the result on bread." The following month, the culinary magazine Table Talk published a "peanut butter sandwich recipe.[6][7] In the early 1900s, this sandwich was adopted down the class structure as the price of peanut butter dropped. It became popular with children by the 1920s as manufacturers began adding sugar to the peanut butter.[8] Since World War II, both peanut butter and jelly were found on US soldiers' military ration list.[9]
Candy corn "Chicken Feed" was the original name of the candy with production starting in the 1880s.[4] Wunderlee Candy Company was the first to produce the candy.[5] Following the 19th century, the Goelitz Confectionary Company (now called Jelly Belly) manufactured the product. Along with other agriculture-inspired treats at the time, the late 19th century, Americas' confectioners sought to market candy corn to a largely rural society.[6]
