As a kid I remember jam (probably strawberry) and cheese (Cheddar or red Leicester) sandwiches being pretty awesome. For manifold reasons, peanut butter was not something made available to me back then, so that would be the closest our house ever got to that.

I was also a weird kid mixing jam and cheese (even grape jelly and American cheese) on sandwiches to the abject horror of parents and kids alike.
I’ve taken it to adulthood with cream cheese and Peruvian pepper jam (just a light spread) on a savory bagel.
Nowadays, if you “pair” jam and cheese on a cracker instead of bread, you can avoid the weird looks entirely and even seem sophisticated.
This is just a poor person’s strawberry cheesecake, I don’t judge.
Quince and cheese on crackers is a common thing, so jam cheese and bread just seems normal to me too…
Another vote for the cheese and jam! Sweet and salty. I like it in a tortilla.
