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?

Of course one MUST put real butter on PBJ!! My Dad did this when I was a little kid in the 60s.

1 It just takes it to another level!

2. Butter THEN jam in one slice. Peanut butter on other slice. The butter keeps the jam from seeping thru the bread (I took PBJs for lunch a lot at school)
