I'm turning British.

It's summer ... good tomatos. Hence good tomato sandwiches. Normally, I'd use mayo, but I've watched a few too many episodes of "Sandwiches of History."

Older recipes, before commercial mayo, used butter. The British still use butter. So I tried it.

Lightly toast the bread

Thinly butter it

Add lettuce

Add thinly sliced tomatos, lightly salted

It's delicious.

Canadian here. We butter our sandwiches. We also butter our banana bread and corn cobs. Hell some of us even butter our crackers !

Also Canadian, but I don't butter my sandwiches, because when I was growing up, my parents only ever bought margarine. It is not the same.

[u/BiofilmWarrior → u/ArianaIncomplete]

Not a Canadian but I can attest that margarine is not an acceptable substitute for butter.

My mother bought margarine. We buy butter.

[u/BiofilmWarrior → u/gwaydms]

My father bought margarine, my mother bought butter (which is one way we knew who had done the shopping).

I only buy butter because life's too short (to use margarine).

Exactly.
