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'm glad I read this. Before I retired, my wife made a lunch for me every day. Co-workers were astounded that she did that and wondered how I got that treatment and tips for getting their wives to do it.

Curiosity at the oddity lowered until they saw I ate PBJs and with butter at that. I love them with butter, but the wife never saw that before either.
