Not all the time, but I am doing it. For me, butter is a must have ingredient for the bread. It just brings the dish all together and it feels way more delicious. I can't understand people who don't like it, or at least some clarified butter or ghee, how it's also called. People can confuse these 2 words, thinking like of different products, but actually it's one and the same product. You can read more about clarified butter vs ghee in the article, and see the difference.

Only if I toast it on the frying pan.

no butter but we would put a slice of cheddar cheese between the pb and strawberry jelly.

Sadly allergic to dairy for most of my life... Nope

@ponderingatheist Do you toast your bread? I love PB&J on toasted bread.

If and when I eat a PB&J sandwich, I toast up wheat bread, spread the jelly there, PB here, I'll either eat mine with slices of bananas or blueberries or with slices of mild cheddar cheese! (One or the other.)

If I add bananas or blueberries, I'll pour honey over the fruit and close the sandwich.

Argh! Now I'm craving a PB&J sandwich!

I've never made a PB&J in my life.
I'm allergic to peanut butter.
So, no.

Butter, peanut butter,butter, peanut butter, butter then peanut butter, a three layer lunch!

I've never made a PB&J so can't comment but would have thought.........no, come to think of it, it doesn't make me think at all

What is a PB&J? I live in Australia so have no clue about this.

No, but have you ever just spread butter on a slice of bread and sprinkled a teeny tiny amount of sugar on top? Mmm...

It's sooo delish! You have to try it!

Growing up that’s what we did, butter first the peanut butter on top. I haven’t done it in probably 40+ years.

No, I get upset when I see people put jelly on the dry bread side instead of over the peanut butter though!

I often butter my toast before adding peanut butter.

Nope. That would be strange to me.
