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?

Both sides very thinly

Both

Both. My dh just butters one and it's WRONG. Unless it's a pbj of course.

Both.

Both, and not too thinly either.

Work in catering too....both sides, very thin layer all the way to the edge regardless of the filling

depends on the sandwich. If its a ham sandwich butter both sides.

If its cheese spread butter on one, cheese on the other.

Jam needs both sides buttered

Salad needs both sides buttered.

Chicken mayo/tuna mayo I don't bother with butter because the mayo is already fatty and you cant taste the butter anyway.

Butter in sandwiches is wrong, it is however acceptable in hot sandwiches (both sides). For the recorded anything other than butter in a hot sandwich is the work of the devil.

Anyone putting butter in cold sandwiches should be thrash. Anyone using spread or margarine should thrashed and then locked away in a high secure unit for their own good.

I have spoken: the matter is resolved.

I can't imagine having a sandwich with no butter or spread! Surely that is just some sort of filling with a side order of bread! I'd just eat the filling and leave the bread if there was no butter on it

I only spread thinly unless it is a bacon sandwich then it is slightly thicker butter (has to be butter). Could murder one now

Jam and butter - FFS - hanging offence

But the fat/salt/sugar combo of a buttered jam sandwich is so satisfying. Without the butter the jam just tastes ick.

Greasy butter and sweet, sticky jam? Boak

Both. LTB.

Sweet sticky strawberries and meringue, with fatty cream works the same in eton mess.

sweet tomatoes and cheese.

Clotted cream and jam.

Proper butter with jam in a sandwich.

All the same to me

Strawberries are naturally sharp, and whipped cream is completely different to butter

Cheese isn't slimy and greasy

I'm still not having it

Butter on both unless it is a sandwich suitable for mayonnaise and they mayo on one and butter on the other.

As for the people talking about waiting for the butter to soften - keep your butter in a butter dish on the side, it will be fine, even in this weather.

Very thin butter on both sides, unless you are using avocado as a spread.

Mayonnaise on sandwiches as an everyday spread is for people who don't like tasting their food, with some rare exceptions.

Butter wouldn't be fine in a butter dish here - I live in the Algarve with temps up to 40 degrees in summer, I'd have a butter lake😊 We even have to keep chocolate in the fridge

Neither

You just need a thermal butter dish Costa!
All these excuses to not butter both slices of bread, which is the correct way!

I've always just buttered one side, I thought that was the norm,

Maybe this is why I'm single

No you're alright, I'll cope

I've always buttered both unless it's gravy then it's none. I don't get where he got the butter one side from as his dad drowns the sandwich in butter on both sides. Also I keep butter in the fridge as I'd lose it other wise. But I put the knife on the kettle and boil it first so it warms up.

Neither, because if anyone else makes it you risk them putting that awful margarine stuff on! So just got used to none- which is fine with nice fillings. Rather that than an inedible sandwich! Love butter but usually only on bread by itself or on potato.

Of course you butter both slices of bread - I can't imagine not buttering one and plonking a dry slice of bread on top - yuk.
