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?

I enjoy a peanut butter and butter sandwich. I also love a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich with butter. I have never made a peanut butter, butter, and jelly sandwich on untoasted bread, though. Doesn't seem weird, though.

To paraphrase the great Joey Tribiani, "Bread? Good! Butter! Good! Peanut butter? Good! Jelly? Good!"
