Weird or just a different option?
DH always make fun/comments about the fact that I use butter in my sandwiches. For me this is the norm and all of my family and friends do it (I was not raised in the states). DH think its awful. Do you think twice if someone put butter in their sandwiches?

Re: Weird or just a different option?
Well, I don't think there's any sandwich I put butter on besides when I'm making grilled cheese and I put it on the outsides of the bread.
I don't think it's weird to use butter, I just never have. What kinds of sandwiches do you put it on, out of curiosity?

Any type except from tuna salad sandwich. Anything that DH put mayo in we use butter.

Re: Weird or just a different option?
Not weird to me at all...
Especially considering you say you arent from the states...
I guess the norm for the US is mayo or mustard. But in other parts of the world it's butter...
A roast beef sandwich with butter is out of this world!!!!

OMG Thats one of my things living here, everyone puts butter or "spread" (gross) on sandwiches. But there is nothing nicer than a gorgeous french crusty baguette with butter and ham on it. Yummy!!!

My brother used to own a deli and according to him, butter on a sandwich is a pretty regular request!

I don't think it's weird - it's a matter of taste preference. I put a little butter on turkey sandwiches - I am not a mayo fan but they are a little dry plain.

Re: Weird or just a different option?
Another "weird" thing is that we eat Pizza with corn and ham as topping.. sooo yummyyy! A lot of time I found myself ordering a small pie with ham to take home and then add corn.
For me, it was weird that people here put ketchup in everything (including scramble eggs!!!!) at first I thought it was gross now is the only way I eat my bagel and eggs lol

Re: Weird or just a different option?
I hate when someone says that something that someone eats is weird...i think its rude. I may not like butter on my sandwich but someone else may like it.
Where are you from? The reason I ask is because when we were in Aruba, that is a Dutch Island, a lot of the sandwiches there were served with butter on the bread. we tried a few and they weren't bad. I always like to try different foods in different countries. You never know what you might enjoy!

Re: Weird or just a different option?
Butter vs mayonnaise...Mayo probably adds a bit more taste to sandwiches, but due to its composition, is more susceptible to spoiling and therefore, foodborne illness.
Butter will keep longer in a sandwich without refrigeration, but I think that due to its high levels of saturated fat, is not really very popular in sandwiches in the U.S.

Re: Weird or just a different option?
Australians and a lot of British butter their bread too, you are not alone!
I guess wierd just depends on what you are used to.
DH hates when I mix foods in certain combinations - he goes CRAZY if I drink a glass of milk with pasta. no idea why?!
I think the buttering the bread is part of your culture, be proud of it
PS I hate Mayo, maybe i should try to butter thing too

Don't think it's weird! I lived in Europe for a while though and got used to this being the norm there. Enjoy!

Ugh, I totally agree w your DH. Even more heinous is if there's any kind of tomato sauce on the pasta. When I see "kids meals" at restaurants and they serve anything with tomato sauce and milk, I wanna hurl.
I guess my problem with it is that tomato sauce is rather acidic and milk is...well, it's milk! LOL It just doesn't seem right to put the two together.
But hey, to each his own...

Re: Weird or just a different option?
It is a very popular thing to do in the UK and Australia. I personally do not like it as it just adds extra fat and I try my best to cut little things like that out of my diet. My DH, who is not American, does not like butter on his sandwiches. However my Australian friends really like the butter and say it makes the sandwich less dry.
My DH thinks peanut butter and chocolate is the strangest combo in the world. To each their own.

Same, my husband thinks that reeses peanut butter cups taste like powder. Some supermarkets here in the UK have Reeses PBC and I have heard people actually say "peanut butter and chocolate, disgusting" more for me, I say!!!
I also love Ham and Pineapple on pizza!!! Delish!
