To send my sandwich back to be cut up?

[missknows]

Just phoned my husband from the bedroom (struggling with 4 month sleep regression baby) and asked him to make me a sandwich. Tomato puree with ham. Yum yum. Brings it up. . . Whole!!

I made him go back and cut it in half. AIBU or should I have been grateful to get it in the first place?

Thank you for that clarification, wafflyversatile, and especially for the helpful "diagram".

I feel we can't go wrong now.

I think, apart from the butter refuseniks, we can declare this thread a success.

I concur heartily - much food for thought here.

I'm glad to have provided you with such a healthy sandwich debate. For what it's worth I'm another butter hater. Toast is the only time butter should touch bread.

Anyone manage to make themselves a sandwich with tomato puree and ham (hopefully cheese and onion crisps too) and able to clarify it is delicious and I am not crazy?

As I mentioned earlier, OP, I'm more than willing to declare support for your sandwich as long as it doesn't actually have to cross my lips.

As regards the great "to butter or not to butter" debate (a subsection of the main issue), I am a strong adherent of the former and venture to suggest that this is the reason for your controversial spreading of tomato puree ie you have to have some kind of spread and, if you would just use butter instead, you would be able to avoid the former abomination.

I think I've got to the crux of the matter.

Yes. It all becomes clear now. This whole farce could have been neatly avoided had the OP not been a butter refuser.

A lesson for us all.
