"Butter? That's weird!" And she has tacos for breakfast. I found out a few years ago on another forum. Someone was binge watching Mr Bean and watched the brilliant episode where he makes a sandwich in the park. He said what made it funnier was Mr Bean putting butter on his bread and thought it was just a weird quirk that he had. Then everything broke down as the Brits rallied to defend this extremely normal sandwich prep and those across the pond gasped in disgust. They're a weird bunch, Dev. Wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. I'd be sleeping with one eye open. 2 minutes ago, deathrey said: Err what do Americans put on their bread?

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 7, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 7, 2018 They usually have some other substance of a similar consistency on a butty, you know what they're like. There's a sandwich shop near us that asks me if I'd like butter or mayo, so I'd assume they mostly use mayo over there. They probably bathe in it. Quote
deathrey Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 I feel a bit grossed out by those other options. Why would you not use butter?! I occasionally put mayo in a sandwich but I still butter. Quote

Paid Members hallicks Posted August 7, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 7, 2018 Mayo as butter was the most common thing I used to see out there. There was a slightly older chap who said buttering bread used to be a thing but died out for some reason. Quote

My dad has his cheese on toast without adding butter or anything, no way i could have it without! I wouldn't bother with butter and cheese. I only need one dairy product on there. Butter and mayo is fine because mayo isn't dairy. Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 7, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 7, 2018 Chest, are you asserting that you put mayo on your toast or am I reading that wrong? Quote

My dad has his cheese on toast without adding butter or anything, no way i could have it without! Just go in raw. I don't think the marginal (if any) taste gain of buttering cheese on toast is worth fact that I'm just getting even closer to a massive coronary each time. Now if you're doing a toastie on the other hand, get a good dollop of butter on the outside bread portion of that fucker before putting it in to grill. Browns up a treat.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 7, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 7, 2018 Y’all are wrong ‘uns. Obviously butter is great on a sandwich, but mayo has it’s place. Recently tried grilled cheese with mayo on it (inside and out, in place of butter), and it was stunning. Quote

My dad has his cheese on toast without adding butter or anything, no way i could have it without! To be honest, that's probably the one occasion where I don't butter. I tend to make a bit of a mix for my cheese on toast so I don't really need butter - grated cheese, chopped cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, a little bit of garlic, basil and salt and pepper. If I was just chopping up a bit of cheese and sticking it on bread, I would butter first Quote
