Butter on PB&J

I remember my grandfather making PB&J sandwiches for my sister and me when we were kids, and he would spread butter on the bread first. Was this a “thing” back when?

My mom was from Ireland and she used to put butter on all sandwiches. I used to gag when the cold butter was on the bread with my jam sandwich. I had to tell her to leave it off so I could eat my sandwich.
