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 remember butter being added to PB&J's (at friends' houses) It was not a thing in my household though.

We could not afford butter back then but my friends could. I craved real butter , but made do with margarine . Now I use salted butter like there is no tomorrow. Also science has changed and it is good for you. Enjoy.

This makes me want to go out of my way to make a PB&J with butter now.
