I was just scrolling Facebook and saw a picture of beef paste which took me back to the shitty sandwiches my mother used to make me eat back in the late 1980s. I got to thinking, was it normal to put butter/margarine on the bread before the meat paste? I think of if I were to make a sandwich now I wouldn’t use butter as well but I definitely was told to make them that way back then. Just seeing the image earlier made me almost taste the yucky mush!
