To butter both slices when making a sandwich ?

[ThankGodImAnAtheist]

DH only butters one side and says I am doing it wrong, but will accept the results of a MN vote.

YABU: You should only butter one side
YANBU: You should butter both sides

LTB

Rude. I just have a different way of buttering bread for sandwiches. I'm not sure why that bothers you so much. Maybe 'bore off' is your standard response to anyone who has different opinions to yours. You might find MN hard work if that's the case.

To clarify, I take two slices of bread and butter the ‘inside’ surface of each slice (the sides that make contact with the filling), whereas DH only butters 1 surface. I do the same if I’m using e.g hummus rather than butter. When he makes them (a rare occasion) they taste dry to me (he is also sparing with the butter anyway) 🤣

Your DH is clearly wrong and requires serious intervention.

Your use of the phrase "a sandwich which is going to have a filling" implies that you have sandwiches that do not have fillings. Are you a complete heathen?

Thank the lord🙏
I was imaging a very messy sandwich 🤣

Only ever buttered one side. Didn't think it was ever a thing to butter both

I worded it badly 😆I'm only part heathen. I wouldn't have a sandwich with no filling.

I'm glad you clarified, I was imagining all these people buttering the inside AND outside of both slices and therefore eating sandwiches with greasy, buttery fingers!

But it's true. Make it the way the person who is going to eat it likes it.

I personally do both slices, but the correct way is the way you like it.

If I was making it for someone else, I'd take pleasure in making it exactly the way they like it. Isn't that what others do?

I could’ve written this
my DH only butters one and thinks I’m weird
but I think he’s insane

Mind you, he also eats crumble without custard or ice cream or anything so he’s not the best person to ask

I do..I can't stand butter.its too greasy.makes me feel really sick

Both sides of course. Just today I made a delicious sandwich - two slices of white bread, both buttered inside, two slices of corned beef and Branston pickle (one side). Big cup of tea. Mmmmm

My daughter has just informed me she only butters one side, if there's not enough filling for the right butter to filling ratio.

DH doesn't butter at all because he doesn't like it.

I do both sides.

But when we make sandwiches for others, we do what they like, so he gives me double butter, I give him dry bread.

Thank heavens!

I had a smoked salmon sandwich from
Pret for the first time in years the other day and only one side was buttered. I thought it must have been a mistake and am very surprised to read this is how some people do it!

My dh is the same so I tend not to buy butter ,new not hat keen on !who either
Do you not find the fillings Fall off though?

Me too 😂

edited to add, it has to be proper butter as well, none of this adulterated spreadable rubbish or, good forbid, margarine or spreads.

Your DH is a psychopath

Sorry that makes no sense he's not that keen on mayo either

Of course you're right. Mayonnaise can stand in where appropriate but definitely both sides regardless. I hope he does acknowledge the verdict otherwise you should BLT. Sorry, typo, I meant LTB obviously

To butter both sides is utterly frivolous behaviour and completely unacceptable in my view!!

Seriously though it is much nicer to butter both sides but if I'm in a rush I'll just butter one side so neither of you are wrong.

Both sides for sandwich
No sides if mayo topping is included
All 4 sides for a toastie

Really, he doesn't know which side his bread's buttered on does he? Sorry, I'll stop now.
