Do americans really not butter their bread?

Do you butter your bread as an american?

Butter is great for a sandwich that's going to be bagged and packed into a cooler since it stops moisture from the fillings sogging out the bread.

But if you try and serve me a fresh made BLT with butter instead of a quality mayo I'm going to look at you funny.

All in all, the US is huge and Americans have a virtually endless option of sauces/spreads to put on their bread and this results in cultural differences in what goes on bread depending on where the burger lives, to say nothing of individual preference.

I will say watching James May make a peanut butter sandwich with butter on it was some of the fattiest fat fuck shit I have ever seen and I now eagerly await the UK catching up with US obeast rates.

If it’s toasted, yes butter.
Like a tomato sandwich which is just toasted bread, butter, a thick tomato slice, and lots of salt and pepper.

Might just be me but unmelted cold butter is repulsive to eat.
 
Americans have no taste or use for real dairy products like butter or cheese. Plus they need to find a way to use up all the soy bean oil they produce so they make goycheese and goyonnaise instead, put some corn syrup in there cause it needs to be used up as well.

Americans love to smear their white creamy sauce on things and call it a "salad" also such as chicken salad (chicken with mayo) or egg salad (egg with mayo) or pasta salad (pasta with mayo) or potato salad (potato with mayo). The only other salads they know are made with ranch which I think is also mayo but mixed with some other stuff. Instead of putting delicious butter on a piece of whole wheat bread, they take a sweet cake and slice it up, they call this wonderbread because it makes you wonder what this has to do with bread and then they put mayo on it as well as kraft singles and ham. They eat this with a side of potato chips fried in soy bean oil. This is basically the height of American homecooking.

Bread thst is toasted for breakfast? Buttered, with other condiments added as need be.
Bread for cold sandwiches? Mayo on the inside.
Bread for BLTs? Pan fried with mayo on the outside.
Bread for hot sandwiches? Toasted with appropriate condiments inside, not buttered.
 
I think it's autistic baby shit to have an all or nothing approach to sandwich spreads or food in general. Bread and butter is good, it's not mandatory though. From what I'm getting off this channel, American sandwiches used to almost always include buttered bread, guess the British never stopped doing it.

 
Toasted: yes butter (usually)
Plain piece of untoasted bread nothing else: yes butter
If the recipe calls for it: yes butter

We don't cut the crusts off our sandwiches, that's a terrible Br*t*sh idea like those foul cucumber sandwiches.

I generally don't like butter that much, I don't dislike it but I don't go out of my way to have it. On toast, yes, but regular bread I usually like a dipping oil and herbs.

I think you have a point here. I think mayo has almost completely replaced the role of butter in American cuisine. Almost any time an American is eating bread, it’s with mayonnaise on it.
 
Watching james may make his sandwhiches and he always uses lurpak and its weird to me.

Oh I see what's happening.

Americans don't have spreadable butter - butter that's blended with vegetable oils to lower its melting point.

That's why you can take it from the fridge to the bread without warming it up.

We do. I buy spreadable butter with avocado oil. But I think those nasty greasy sticks are still the main version of butter. I don't do bread. It's gross. But I put the spreadable butter on other things.
 
The only time I've heard of putting butter on a sandwich in America was rural New England. It was also only really a thing with older people for what its worth.

Unless it's something specific like a jambon-buerre you shouldn't butter your fucking sandwiches my countrymen are absolutely wrong about this and the Americans are right for once and it eats me up inside knowing it.
