‘Literally just let yourself go. No mayonnaise. No mustard. Butter only.
‘I know you might be thinking that sounds gross, but it’s actually so good. It is healthy? Of course not.’

One wrote: ‘We the rest of the world eat this every day.’
Another asked: ‘How the hell is that weird?’

She said: ‘I know for a fact that we don’t add cold butter to bread in regular sandwiches on the North East, South or West Coast.
“Maybe because our favorite bread is sliced white bread and not a loaf of bread, which may actually contain butter.”
Amanda added that most people in the US don’t see butter as a seasoning, but rather as a cooking ingredient and “sometimes a lubricant for toast.”
