In England we put butter on our bread when we make sandwiches. Is it an uncommon thing to do in the states. Weird?

Butter on the outside for grilled cheese only.

I`ve always done that. I`m Canadian of English ancestry.

Hope you’re buying creamery butter and not some lab produced abortion.
I grew up with buttered bread for sandwiches and do it yet today. Cant stand soggy bread.

nope i'm Canadian and always butter my bread when i make sandwiches unless i'm outta butter then i'll use some kind of spread like ketchup or mustard or mayo

Depends on sandwich, but rarely, now that you mention it my Mom did that, so maybe they did in early days?
The condiment of choice, here is usually mayo.

In Australia when i was a kid like 10 we used to put butter on bread.. But we changed to putting margarine on bread.. Then of course you add what ever it is you want to the bread..

Some people still use butter in Australia.. It is still available..

I have heard that US bread is not like Australian bread.. From what i have heard US bread is closer to cake then bread..

I only put butter on bread when making grilled cheese - on the sides of the bread that cook in the pan.

Same here in Oz... Without butter it's just not right

As a Canadian, I have always known butter, or margarine, on sandwiches.

I like it with peanut butter and jelly

I use mayo for sandwiches

Grew up with butter. Then later switch to mayonnaise. Could still do either since my sandwiches are not standard sandwiches. More like double decker stacks of whatever is available.

My first wife put butter on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She was from Holland, Michigan.

Some Southern people will eat bread and butter. I've only like butter on my toast.

It's not that uncommon in the US, just far from universal.

Just on grilled cheese sandwiches that I know of.

I noticed the cheese in the US does not taste the same either.
