To think dh is perverse...?

He made DS a peanut butter sandwich and put a thick layer of butter on the bread first

It's not just me is it? That's weird to the point of perversity. What kind of freak would do that?

DS very sensibly refused to have anything to do with said sandwich. I was cross at the waste but not at DS.

You object to butter but would add honey or jam?? Now that is truly vile.

Peanut butter does not have butter in it, you need to butter the toast first.

Knittink · 07/12/2018 07:53

OMG. All this 'peanut butter doesn't require...' nonsense! Since when was it about requiring? Your chocolate fudge cake doesn't require a dollop of ice cream on the side- it's already got plenty of sugar in it. Your roast dinner doesn't require yorkshire puddings as well as roast potatoes - it's already got plenty of carbs and fat in it.

Butter on sandwiches is disgusting full stop and this is a hill I'm prepared to die on.

Life is better with butter.

Dafspunk · 07/12/2018 03:40

Even when I eat PB with a spoon, I eat it with butter.

MsHopey · 07/12/2018 03:34

I'm not a butter fan unless it's just plain toast.
All my sandwiches have different dressings to stop them being dry without needing butter.
😳 I have cheese with my peanut butter to stop it being so dry. The calories, I don't even want to know.

Weezol · 07/12/2018 03:16

I agree your husband! I also have butter and Philadelphia. Delish

You are a filth wizard.

kateandme · 07/12/2018 03:12

Flapjackninja YES.my relative love this combo so much they do a dab of butter on spoon then into the Nutella!

kateandme · 07/12/2018 03:10

uuuk peanut butter.when and why did we gather this product in our arms from the US?

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/12/2018 02:45

Dd doesn’t like butter on her bread. She’s the same with any filling even with something as dry as ham.

unicorncow · 07/12/2018 02:04

@1MillionSelfiesTakenByMyKids you have to have butter with peanut butter, makes your mouth all dry otherwise! I'm with your DH on this one!

SpamChaudFroid · 07/12/2018 01:57

Not only does PB need butter, it needs to be unsalted butter.

Thick butter with mild grated cheddar in a cheese sandwich is a true abomination. Horrible textures.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 07/12/2018 01:06

it’s not a peanut butter butter sandwich

I fear it's even worse than you thought - as the OP nowhere states that her DH only butters one slice of the bread, we can sadly only conclude that it must actually be a butter peanut butter butter sandwich.

Oh, the huuuuuumanity.......

mathanxiety · 07/12/2018 01:02

No way does PB require any other fat. It has peanut oil in it.

You can add jam though. (Or as it is known in the US 'jelly'). Or mashed banana.

Best is 'grape jelly', though blackcurrant jam would also be good.

Cantthinkofabloodyname · 07/12/2018 00:57

My youngest DS always asks for his sandwiches to be "cheese and butter" or "egg and (mayo) butter". He doesn't understand that butter is the norm in sandwiches, so you don't need to ask for it. He hates mayonnaise but has not figured out that his favourite sandwiches are not egg and butter but egg mayo.
As for butter with peanut butter. Why add another oily substance when PB is full of natural fats anyway?

AboutThat · 07/12/2018 00:54

I thought everyone knew you need a think layer of banana or strawberry jam before the peanut butter.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/12/2018 00:50

Peanut butter, real butter, and honey. Sammie of the Gods.

JaneJeffer · 07/12/2018 00:46

I now have blackcurrant jam all down my front. Damn!

Flapjackninja · 07/12/2018 00:45

Butter before Nutella is that acceptable??

GaryBaldbiscuit · 07/12/2018 00:41

ooh, blackcurrent jam, sounds delicious

GaryBaldbiscuit · 07/12/2018 00:40

lovely, you just have to have butter, with peanut butter.

Thick layer of butter, thick layer of PB, good sprinkle of salt.

Surely there is no other way?

StoppinBy · 07/12/2018 00:18

I only use smooth peanut butter - hate crunchy - and it's too tacky to spread without ripping holes in your bread without a thin layer of butter first. It's also tacky to eat without butter.

Surely no one want ripped up sandwiches?

JaneJeffer · 07/12/2018 00:15

Butter first, then peanut butter, then blackcurrant jam. I might go and make one right now.
