@Mamba: I don't either, unlike most Swedes. Yes, it's not just the Brits who do it. |

@fabarati
I dunno, as I said, I don't butter my bread usually anyway. I always find it too greasy. |

@Mamba: why not just put a slice of cheese between the wet stuff and the bread? Won't go soggy then. At least, it won't go soggy if you eat it within any reasonable amount of time. |

Those have been in the UK for years!
LINK
They had allsorts that put pictures on the bread too. They were on dragon's den a while back too, company was having finance issues i guess.
Oh...someone already mentioned that^
On the subject of buttering bread,never knew it was just a British thing and don't often do it myself. It's to make it less dry though, like how you'de have a buttered cracker (wait is that a British thing too O.o I'm sure someone said that's an insult in america). Anyway, makes bread more edible no matter how stale I guess, or maybe if its a really dry sandwich like a crisp buttie (crap is that just a British thing too idk). Or for something really wet like tomato or cucumber (ok, that one is British) it stops the bread going soggy! |

I wonder if you could make your own with normal bakery paper. Probably can. Must test it. |

Now where do you get a toaster that you can fit a sandwich in? |

the point of butter on the bread is to prevent the filling making the bread go soggy
Yeah, I've had people make that rationalisation to me too. In decades of making sandwiches with some pretty wet fillings (e.g., kippers), I've never had bread go soggy. It also doesn't explain why British people put butter or margarine on Every Single Sandwich They Make, whether it contains bacon, cold dry meat like chicken, or anything in between. They even put it on toast - yuck!! It's like butter and bread are inextricably linked in their minds.
Even when you go into a shop that "makes sandwiches fresh", I often find myself asking for no butter, only for them to turn round and say that they pre-buttered all the bread! - WTFingF!! How is that fresh?, and did you just assume that everyone would *like* butter? Answer: yes, you did!!
...not that I let it bother me, you understand. |

Mister_C - please refrain from describing the effect you have on females. We're talking about toast here - keep toast safe for our children. |

Are you kidding? Toastabags are ancient, you can get them in Pound Shops (Dollar Stores). They're a good idea, but they toast the outside, and leave the inside kind of bready and gooey. |

Evil_Eye, you provided the Wikipedia link but not the category under which your "spread" falls. Is it dairy, plant, yeast or meat? And what makes it so much better?
While we're at it, how can Margarine be considered unhealthy while Butter apparently passes your legal rigor unimpeded? |

Yea I have had a couple of them for years... I don't really use it much though.
Butter here is used more for cooking with. We use "Spread" mostly on our toast, that some people think is butter or margarine. Margarine is too unhealthy to pass our legal system and butter is annoyingly hard to spread with.
As someone who has been to American, I get your hate. Your butter sucks compaired to our butter/spread. |

Ok wow - what a delicious post! Thank you Gottamgear! I didn't even consider that my toaster slots were big enough to fit an entire sandwich into until this!
Although I do have a George Foreman grill, I probably could have just used it in that - I should have, actually. Leesah was right about the soggy mess. But that's the whole point of the bag now from my perspective - you're SUPPOSED to eat it! Your petulance surprised me, coming from somebody who I'm sure has a lot of experience eating soggy messes.

Maybe, just buy and use them. Or do what you are already doing. And shut it. |

Firstly- these are common - I buy them in poundland. Secondly the point of butter on the bread is to prevent the filling making the bread go soggy. |
