Do people still put butter on their bread when making sammiches?

I've not seen buttered bread since about 1958!

    The only person I knew who did that was my stepfather.

    My mom always buttered the bread she used for making school lunch sandwiches.

    Interesting that we had moms who made our lunches.

    It wasn’t that unusual. But many women who made lunches for school didn’t hold jobs outside the home. My mother was unusual like that in the 60s and 70s.

    Still do, but I usually use marge or a butter blend. Straight butter won't spread. Vegemite works better with butter/marge, the trick is to get it thin which won't work on dry bread.

    Other than a scrambled egg sandwich, I can't think of any other kind on which I would use butter.

    Butter was often used to keep the sandwich filling from saturating the bread, especially when some time would elapse between making it and eating it.

    It warm climates, the butter/marge melts and also saturates the bread. You might not have encountered that, I've heard that in Minnesota the cows give ice cream. We have the opposite problem, the chickens lay hard boiled eggs.

    Definitely yes, unless the sammich is for a vegan and then I would use virgin-pressed olive oil.
    We always have butter in our fridge -- great for cooking and flavour. This post was edited by inky at November 21, 2022 8:17 AM MST

      I remember certain sandwiches served at school lunchrooms had buttered bread instead of mayonnaise or mustard, wait, they had butter on one slice of the sandwich and mustard on the other slice. It was junior high school, so I was about 12 years old. Being the first time I had ever encountered that, I thought it was really weird, and that it tasted horrible. It’s not something I ever did or ever asked for on sandwiches made at home.
