I made a peanut butter sandwich and put a layer of normal dairy butter on first, as I always do, but then it got me thinking as to whether this is the done thing! Shock

Am I bu and breaking some kind of rule for having both butter and peanut butter?!

Butter is essential. It's too clay without. But I had a friend who felt strongly that butter was uncalled for. Better still, add a banana. Or ditch the bread and butter and spread the pb directly onto the banana.

You are all being unreasonable because the bread should be spread with Nutella, not butter. Then the peanut butter.

MuchBenham · 14/09/2017 19:46

That sounds like a good combo Prof

YABU to not add marmite.

TizzyDongue · 14/09/2017 19:48

It's not unreasonable, it's essential.

gillybombilly · 14/09/2017 19:49

Sounds delicious to me, and I always add Marmite when I'm putting it on toast.

LuxuryWoman2017 · 14/09/2017 19:50

Butter and PB? No, oh no no, not for me.
I do however put butter on a bacon sandwich which I'm told is not the done thing, also put mayo on rather than ketchup so I'm a bit maverick.

misscockerspaniel · 14/09/2017 19:51

YABU, you forgot the jam!

Ttbb · 14/09/2017 19:52

I hated peanut butter (too dry) until I saw a friend's father do this-changed my life forever!

MikeUniformMike · 14/09/2017 19:58

YABU.
Butter or spread, unless it's honey.

ProfessorCat · 14/09/2017 19:58

@MikeUniformMike

But honey and butter are the BEST

PinkHeart5913 · 14/09/2017 20:08

I always but butter with peanut butter unless I am having jam & peanut butter

lljkk · 14/09/2017 20:08

I can't cope with the British obsession to put real or fake butter on every slice of bread in a sandwich. Even when it's frickin' mayo, you still put marg first!! just NO. You can do this. A Sandwich can exist without fake/real butter in it.

fullofhope03 · 14/09/2017 20:09

You are being VVU. No addition of butter - However, if you feel that you need something extra try this - peanut butter (only crunchy allowed), sliced cucumber, very thinly sliced extra mature cheddar, a tiny squirt of salad cream and a liberal sprinkling of crushed Hoola Hoops (only Ready Salted). Nectar of the Gods. You're welcome Grin

GodIsDead · 14/09/2017 20:09

It sounds bizarre but I'm going to have to try it.

Pure PB or nothing!

Unihorn · 14/09/2017 20:11

My husband has butter and peanut butter, I think it's weird. Unfortunately he took the same approach when making me chocolate spread on toast and I was nearly sick. Chocolate spread and butter DO NOT GO TOGETHER.

diddl · 14/09/2017 20:11

Butter?

Shouldn't it be jam?

Think I'll be trying PB & chocolate spread!

Does it taste like a Reese's at allGrin?

NorksAkimbo72 · 14/09/2017 20:12

lljkk I am so with you!!!! The first time my MIL made me a sandwich ( naice ham and cheese) I actually gagged...didn't expect a slather of marg!!! Bleurgh! Butter and peanut butter...no. Just no.

90skid · 14/09/2017 20:13

Lashings of both, especially on toast. Devine!

lljkk · 14/09/2017 20:15

Hassled · 14/09/2017 20:17

I hate butter - it's fine "cooked" (garlic bread is pushing things though) but give me a sandwich with butter, cheese, pickle, ham, mustard, and gherkins and all I will taste is the butter. It's a pain in the arse. I was at some training thingy today and there was a sandwich lunch - except to me it was a butter lunch, and I nibbled some stale Ready Salted.

Anyway - my point is you're very wrong, and peanut butter should only ever go with jam. Or bacon.

TizzyDongue · 14/09/2017 20:21

Marg in sandwiches is foul. Really foul.

Butter is wrong too, but has a handful of exceptions: hot sandwiches, and peanut butter.

badbadhusky · 14/09/2017 20:24

A Sandwich can exist without fake/real butter in it.

This is true in the same way that you can survive without food for quite a while, so long as you keep drinking water. You can have bread/toast and PB without butter, but why would you if butter is available?
