Which part of a PB&J is the meat, and which is the condiment?

That a non-offensive version of asking "whose the man" to a lesbian couple.
The answer is "neither", and you look dumb for asking.
- Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.
- 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)
  
  Which lesbian is the protein in this equation
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
- 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
  
  Jelly sandwiches are actually pretty solid... have you ever had jam on toast?
  
  You do you, but ketchup on a grilled cheese sounds nasty. Ketchup is a C tier condiment at best.
  
  Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That's disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.
  
  But would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with catsup?
- Jelly can have some nutrition but yeah peanut butter is the protein. Most vegan pho meat is from legumes after all.
  
  Do you mean "faux" meat? "Pho" is Vietnamese soup. "Faux" comes from French and means "fake" or "imitation", and is pronounced like "foe".
Meat is not a requirement in a sandwich
- Counterpoint: Animal flesh is not a requirement to be called "meat".
  
  Culinarly the term often used is "protein". So in this case, PB
  
  It's implied. If I paid for a meat sandwich and I was given a pb&j, I'd be asking for a refund.
The peanut butter and jelly is the meat with the bread as a condiment
- Chaotic neutral, you love to see it
"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.
Does a sandwich have to have meat?

The PB and J are both fillings, or toppings for the case of an open sandwich.
Is this like the popcorn bucket thing? If my peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains your meat I don't want it.
- I’ll take it.
Due to naming convention I would say Peanut Butter, supported by "Ham & Swiss" and "Beef & Cheddar".
- Compelling argument!
"Filling" is the word you're looking for, not "meat".
Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB
- Socratic intetjection: What's the meat in a hummus and cucumber sandwich?
  
  In my heart I feel it's the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up
