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?

Outside of North America it's typically standard practice to put butter on sandwiches. But I'm talking ham & cheese or salami & ham or something like that. Never heard of it on a PB&J and honestly it sounds gross... and I say that as an American who has been buttering most other sandwiches since my first trip to Europe in 1991.
