Buttered sandwiches

[ImNotJoeMyNameIsHarry]

Please help me and my DP with this. He's just made a sandwich for me. Do you butter both pieces or just the 1?

Butter on sandwiches is wrong. You're supposed to use cream cheese.

Buttering both slices of bread is over indulgent - I've heard it all now. Only on MN.

That's wrong. He needs to face disciplinary procedures. Everyone knows you need to butter both bits of bread or the fillings won't stick and they will fall out. Plus the butter is the best bit.

This is why I refuse to eat sandwiches in places like Subway and other rubbish places in America. They don't butter the bread and I'm just not having it.

Lilinoo you are a woman after my own heart! Me and one of the DDs are obsessed by sandwiches and I can quite understand ordering a platter and living off of them. DD rings me up with her latest sandwich ideas some are horrible and we send each other pics of sandwiches. We are a bit odd grin

Agree on the subway not buttering, their profits are falling because we won't use them for that very reason.

Butter (not spread) both sides. It is Law

Personally, I think the OP needs to LTB

I only ever buttered one side so bit shocked by this thread, I missed a trick here?

In the past when I worked in hotel kitchens I was taught just to butter one side. Could have been a cost cutting exercise but worked in some fairly expensive Country House hotels and all used the one side rule.

I only butter one slice of bread. Sometimes I'll put mayo on the other one if I'm putting salad in the sandwich (lettuce needs mayo IMO) but otherwise I'd make a sandwich exactly like the OP's partner.

Butter on both is too much. All you can taste is butter. Depending on the filling I use mayo, mustard or nothing.

I just butter the one side of the bread, right to the edges but with lots of butter.

Both. Th butter is meant to stop the filling making the bread soggy

Both. If all you can taste is butter then you're spreading it much too thickly! Butter needs to be soft though, or spreading is impossible.

But I'd rather have neither side 'buttered' if it's not actual butter. All that Flora, Utterly Butterly, Clover stuff is vile.

I only spread thinly but if I saw a piece of bread in me sandwich with nowt on, I would be

Both. Why wouldn't you?

No butter in sandwiches here, yuck!

I do one side butter then the other is mayo and mustard, or mayo and sriracha depending on what I'm having. If I have cheese I usually butter both sides as I hate Mayo and cheese

Too buttery, is there such a thing?

Both are thickly buttered so when I bite into a sandwich the layers are bread, thick buttery teeth marks, filling, thick buttery teeth marks, bread. It's the only way!

Too buttery, is there such a thing?

Yes, in a sandwich (apart from a chip sandwich). On fresh crusty bread, absolutely not.

Neither - butter on bread, fine, cheese/ham etc on bread, fine - butter and filling - gross

Both, there is in fact no such thing as "too much butter".

Neither, thin layer of mayo.

Butter so thick that you can see teeth marks in would make me throw up instantly - shudder

Both. Dh just does one and his sarnies always fall apart because they are too dry.

This is funny. I was making sandwiches yesterday and thinking about how my mum used to only butter one side. I was raised thinking this was correct. Only rich people buttered both sides😂
Now I only spread the thinnest on layers on both sides.........
If you only butter one side the filling is more likely to fall out.

He made you a sandwich...that's a nice thing to do. Enjoy it!
