who invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwhich
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.[2] 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.[3][4] 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.[5] Since World War II, both peanut butter and jelly were found on US soldiers' military ration list.[6]
Newtons (cookie) Until the late 19th century, many physicians believed that most illnesses were related to digestion problems,[2] and recommended a daily intake of biscuits and fruit. Fig rolls were the ideal solution to this advice. They were a locally produced and handmade product until a Philadelphia baker and fig lover, Charles Roser, invented and then patented a machine in 1891 which inserted fig paste into a thick pastry dough.[3] Cambridgeport, Massachusettsâ€“based Kennedy Biscuit Company purchased the Roser recipe[4] and started mass production. The first Fig Newtons were baked at the F. A. Kennedy Steam Bakery in 1891.[5] The product was named after the city of Newton, Massachusetts.[6][7]
