We are having a family breakfast and the debate came up. Do you butter the toast before putting on the peanut butter? Or do you just put the peanut butter straight on your toast?

    I only pair jam/jelly with buttered toast. Butter AND peanut butter seems like you’re just adding calories for no reason (can you even really taste the butter under peanut butter?).

    When I was an exchange student in Australia in the late '90s, I remember the family I stayed with with would add butter to EVERY sandwich they made, regardless of what the other contents were. Ham and cheese with mayo? Butter first. Turkey club? Add butter. Just cheese? Also butter. Adding any other condiments to your sandwich, like mustard? There better be butter added first.

    I dunno if it’s just an American thing to NOT add butter to every piece of bread depending on the meal, or what.
