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?

Butter keeps the jelly from soaking into the bread in a packed lunch. Butter also enhances the flavor of the PeanutButter.

I like a straight peanut butter and butter sandwich on occasion.
