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....

I distinctly remember getting punished because I wouldn't eat a butter and jam sandwich (punishment was that I wasn't allowed to go swimming). This was in the 80s in California and the last time there was a Brit in our family tree was in the 18th century! 😂

This article explains buying of sandwiches: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.popsugar.com/food/Origins-Butter-Sandwiches-14968176/amp - I honestly think it fell out of favour.

Bed, bath and beyond have an egg cup as a wedding registry favourite so obviously some Americans do buy them

*buttering!

Then again I have been known to use butter, mayo and mustard all on one sandwich .... I love condiments

You jam & butterers, do you also put butter with nutella, marmalade or peanut butter too?
🤢
Oh or dairylea?

I only eat chocolate spread (not nutella) on toast, and with butter first. Don't like marmalade but yes butter on everything. Even peanut butter.

I also butter rolls at BBQs, my mum does that and it just tastes wrong without. I have issues with food touching bread without there being butter on the bread first. The only time I don't butter bread really is if I'm making French toast.

I don't eat chocolate spread or dairy lea but yes to butter with jam and no to peanut butter.

Assuming it's a 'normal' sandwich with 2 slices of bread and a filling. I put margarine on one size of both slices, so the margarine is on the inside, put the filling in, then put it together, cut and eat.

Bold fail, don't know why my bold never works.

Ha Bloo I think you have to bold each line individually

The thought of butter with nutella makes me feel a bit queasy

And burger buns.
People butter burgers?
Wow I have never heard of this.

I don't use butter at all unless I am baking. I make my sandwiches with mayo or mustard. But it has to be on both sides! Why would you only do one? So I'm still with you, OP.

Thanks Pink, I'll try that next time.

Butter one side of each slice. Never margarine.
Yes to jam. No to Nutella and peanut butter. Marmite is the work of the devil.

Both or neither, depending on the filling.

If it's a toastie I butter the outsides not the insides

If it's a toastie, I butter both sides of both slices.

Bed, bath and beyond have an egg cup as a wedding registry favourite so obviously some Americans do buy them

British expats, most likely.

Both sides inside, I never realised other people wouldn't!

It depends entirely on the sandwich!

Neither, never use anything in sandwiches apart from the filling.

Butter is delicious, and most sandwiches, and slices of toast with toppings, are worse without it. I love toast with butter and jam, butter and Nutella, butter and peanut butter, and butter and marmalade.

Who are you people who don’t like butter?

Butter both slices. Of course. If you don't butter bread in sandwiches then the terrorists have won. And that is a fact.

Who are these people with mouths so wet they can eat a butter-less sandwich?

SimonBridges My nan doesn’t like butter, I’ve never understood her. My brother was the same but I’m not sure if he is still that way.

Depends on the filling. Dry filling like cheese - both sides to make it stick. Wet filling like tuna mayo - one side

Americans do eat soft-boiled eggs (at least some Americans certainly do), but egg cups are indeed rare. Butter on sandwiches is also rare in the US, though not unheard of. My American dad always put butter on his sandwiches, even peanut butter ones, which I still find rather odd.

No butter on sandwiches for me, thank you very much.

The butter is to stop the bread going soggy

Tastes so good too

So both inside
