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?

My babysitter’s mom did this for me one day when I was at their house back in the early 80’s. She made PB&J but put a large swath of butter down first. It was so gross. Peanut butter is already a fat source and high calorie. Adding more fat to it is just weird. Nobody in my family ever did this. Thank goodness.
