How to butter a bread roll

[Lauralaaaa]

My darling boyfriend kindly made me a ham bread roll after my 12.5 hour shift. He asked if I wanted butter and I said yes please. I come home to find he has buttered one side of the roll and left the other plain. He claims you make more work for yourself if you butter both sides, just double up on the one side.

He does this with a normal sandwich as well apparently. I may have to end the relationship.

Please tell me I’m not going crazy and he’s a lunatic.

YABU- only butter one side
YANBU- butter both sides

You'd slap a burger straight on the roll then? I automatically butter any roll or any sandwich or any slice of toast regardless of what's going on top.

Usually I toast the roll/bun if a burger is going in, then a light application of butter on the bottom section before adding the burger. 😅 There's plenty people who don't like ketchup or mustard - how dry would that burger be if you just had the burger, or just a burger and lettuce or whatever!

My three teenagers only want butter on one side , if they even have any butter.

Question to those who butter the top of a roll: would you still butter the top if it was a roll with
A) sausages
B) a burger
C) a "wet" filling like tuna/egg mayo?

A) definitely
B) no butter goes in a burger at all, because you lightly toast the inside of the bun so it doesn't go soggy!
C) yes, it stops the bread going soggy

Apparently the level of sogginess is important to me 🤣

At least it’s butter not Margarine eh?

Actually I think I answered too hastily before / didn't read the question properly. I don't on reflection butter burger rolls, that seems completely wrong. So I suppose it's not entirely logical that I would butter for a bacon sandwich, and now I have no clue what I do for a sausage sandwich. I concede I can see the logic of those who butter the bottom of a roll / bap when bacon / sausage is going on top and then not the top because there will be sauce.

And now I really want a sausage or bacon sandwich.

I actually prefer things a bit soggy.... give me the soggiest, least crispy Yorkshire pudding any day. I like soggy chips drowning in gravy. I can't have too much sauce / gravy on anything which requires too much sauce or gravy. Probably why I butter both sides even for 'wet' fillings or bacon sandwiches.

I work in a Sandwich bar and lots of people don't take butter or Mayo in a sandwich. And some filling combos people ask for are just weird!

I think what I’m most concerned about now is who taught him to butter like this?

He is going home for a roast tonight so is going to ask his parents where he gets this from.

As a side note he’s only just this year started having grazy. Crazy.

Only one solution.....LTB

thinking about it though, my favourite sandwich has no butter -

from the bottom up:
very lightly toasted ciabatta, olive oil, buffalo mozzarella, slightly sun dried tomato, olives 🫒, fresh pesto, ciabatta. OMG

DH used to only butter one side of a roll until I set him straight. He does it the right way now. Nothing touches my bread without a spreading of butter first and he's realised how much better it is.

I still haven't been able to convince him that brown sauce is better than ketchup on a bacon roll though. You can't win them all I guess!
