Butter or any type of spread in sandwiches?
If I make say a cheese and tomato sandwich/roll, I never spread the bread with butter/margarine as it literally makes me heave. I might spread on a bit of mayo if it seems dry but that's it. If I go to a cafe I ask for the spread to be left out. If I buy a supermarket sandwich I can only eat tuna mayo as for some reason the spread doesn't bother me and is usually invisible.
I'm not fussy in any other way and have never met anyone else with the same aversion.

I find a tiny spread a margarine hardly tastes of anything at all but helps the sandwich stay together! However I don’t want anything with peanut butter.

One of my friends never has butter or spread of any type on sandwiches, scones or toasted teacakes.

I have to have something on mine, always butter. If I don't, I can't swallow the food. Weird I know ...🙄

I don’t eat butter on sandwiches, or mayo either. They do tend to fall apart 😁

Totally agree. Butter on its own - fine. Butter (or worse, margarine) getting on other foods inside a sandwich. Makes me heave.

Never knew that! Learn something new every day.

I found out recently that the whole of America doesn't put butter/margarine in sandwiches so there's 300 million people like you 😁

Id guess there are loads of other non Americans who do the same

I use mayo or coleslaw because I hate a dry sandwich

You would be at home in the US. Spreading butter/margarine on a sandwich is unheard of.
