Butter on bread

[BigApple11]

Please help me decide who is BU here. When you make a sandwich, do you butter both sides of the bread, or just one side?? Me and DH have differing opinions....

the 'inside' of both slices iyswim
no. other. way.

Neither because I'm American, but my British husband butters each slice on one side.

Each slice on one side (the inside)

I usually do one, although often the other will have mayo on it so doesn’t need butter as well

Just one, but I usually put some thing else, like mayo/mustard/ketchup on the other side.

Neither, I don't put butter in sandwiches. I think buttering both slices is the norm though.

Both slices inside. I'm curious to know which way you make yours!

If you butter both sides of the bread it must be very messy to hold.

I don't usually have butter in sandwiches but If I do, I would butter the inside of both slices

Just to add even if I'm adding pickle, relish, horseradish, salad cream etc I still butter both

Depends on the filling.

If it’s a spread of some description or even Brie soft enough to spread I’ll butter one side. Normally both though.

I have heard of buttering both side of the bread, but that's when you are going to put the sandwich in a toaster. (Possibly before non-stick cooking surfaces became available.)

Your OP makes it sound like the outside and inside though which would be a slippery situation Unless its a toasted sandwich then both sides is delicious

In a sandwich toaster, that is. I think having butter on the outside would stop the bread sticking to the toaster, in ye olden days.

Both slices on the inside. Helps everything stick together!

I butter the inside of the 2 slices to stop any sauce or moistness from the filling making the bread soggy.

In a sandwich toaster, that is. I think having butter on the outside would stop the bread sticking to the toaster, in ye olden days.

I would still butter the outsides in a sandwich toaster eventhough it's non stick, it makes the outside taste better and crisp up nicer

I have occasionally buttered the outside despite having a Teflon sandwich toaster, but concluded it wasn't really worthwhile/necessary.

Neither. Butter is for toast, and potatoes. Why would you need it in a sandwich?

Both slices inside!!

I'll try it again sometime.

I butter one side of each slice (become the insides of the sandwich.)

Presuming you mean one side of each slice of bread.....

It depends on filling.
Mostly I don't have any in a sandwich - just the meat / cheese and pickle or salad or whatever. On the odd occasion I do, then both slices would be buttered. Never come across one slice only being buttered. Sounds a bit indecisive.
