When that which is common becomes unusual

So I've made a couple of British friends in the hostel - Lloyd and Jonathan. Turns out that the former's a huge Liverpool fan like myself. I was shocked to find out that he had never had a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich in his life. At the age of 24 - pardieu! Those of us who were aware that this was an unbelievable instance, phenomenom really, right before us, didn't know what else to do other than have him try one. Here are the events in sequence. You can decide for yourself his opinion of it...

Thank you for sharing the utter joy of peanut butter & jelly with your friend. I can't imagine being deprived of such simple deliciousness for so many years! Well done Rigs!
