I always use the back of a tablespoon for buttering bread, you scoop the butter out with the front of the spoon and use the back of the spoon for buttering...(Not a knife)...Miles better, plus you can get right into the corners....

Try it next time and report back.

Both sides. I put plenty of butter around the edge where the bread is driest and just a smattering in the middle. It drives me mad when people just put a blob in the middle of the slice.

I like Benecol Buttery.

How many people butter bacon or sausage sandwiches though? It seems weird to me, as I reckon there's enough fat there anyway, but I've seen some do it.
Erm.. I do. On both. With plenty of brown sauce too.

So do I. One of the few times I do butter bread these days. It's the way it goes all melty. mmmm bacon.

Depends on what I'm putting on the sandwich. If I'm using pickle or any kind of sauce then i dont butter the slice that it goes on.

Just one side here too. Buttering both sides makes it too rich for me.

Oddly, when I'm making a sandwich, I butter both slices of bread, but with filled rolls (cobs/batches etc) I only butter the lower half.

My God; no, I hate butter with a bacon or sausage sarnie, it has to be loads of ketchup spread on both slices of bread.

Brown sauce, no butter (though I may have sometimes dipped the bread in the bacon fat) & egg must have soft yolk lick

Do you mean a bread roll?

At risk of triggering an international incident, I prefer mayonnaise to butter (on both slices).

Both sides.

Full fat Lurpak salted.

Put extra on any warm sandwiches, so it goes all melty. cloud9

You are clearly not normal, as proven by the Internets.
You are in a minority.
Therefore, you can probably claim benefits.

Bacon, fried egg or sausage...no butter
Fishfingers or fishcake... one side buttered
Anything else... both sides buttered

More important than the buttering issue is that of the choice of white or wholemeal in certain circumstances.

Bacon or sausage MUST be on white bread IMHO.

Sorry, this belongs in the health forum and not in here, but as I eat sarnies 5 days a week and always have for lunch I don't put any on. Many years ago I went from full fat milk, to semi skimmed and no butter on bread and didn't notice much difference so just carried on - that is a lot of fat I haven't eaten.
There are many other much healthier (strong tasting) things to put on already moist bread to make them worth eating IMO smile
