Margarine on sandwiches

I'm a mustard on my sandwiches kind of gal. 

but there are some which require butter instead - a good cheese and pickle sandwich, for instance. Putting mayo on that would be sacrilege! 

(and I secretly love salad cream)

This! 

You know what's really nice? Salad cream mixed with curry powder.

I've never tried that!

Salad cream   YUCK!
As for margarine on sandwiches, the first time I ever made a sandwich for hubby in the States, I asked him what he wanted on his ham sandwich...mayo or mustard. He said just butter thanks. I was very perplexed. I'll put butter on my bacon and cheese sandwich now, but depending on the sandwich, a bit of english mustard, or some type of chutney or pickle is good for me. Can't remember the last time I put mayo on a sandwich...actually I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich!

No butter or margarine on sandwiches here.  If it is an egg or chicken sandwich then a bit of mayo.  Otherwise mustard.  We aren't a big sandwich eating family.
MrRed5 puts salad cream on his french fries    I prefer a bit of mayo and ketchup.  
My dislike of salad cream has lead me to eat salads without any dressing.  On the rare occasion I want something I will use a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Tykeman, you don't put butter on a bacon sarnie?? That makes it extra delicious!  

No - I find that disgusting. Probably because going up we wouldn't do it, there's plenty fat from the bacon and the brown sauce adds moisture.

Some is down to the war I think, seen as extravagent to have both - I have a friend that as a kid I went round and they couldn't have both butter and jam on a sandwich, just jam. Now I do tend to leave out the butter/marge from most sandwiches. For meat it tends to be low fat mayo on one slice of bread/half of roll, and mustard on the other.
Butter just for toast etc.

I'm also in the mustard camp!

Mustard is a product of the devil, especially yellow mustard.

I thought that was tapenade, also good on sandwiches!

I like mustards too.

Wow, I never realised the emotion people feel about their sandwiches. I prefer soup any day. 

But lettuce is watery (can get squidgy) too? 

You dry it off! Also, mustard is evil. I guess I make and eat my sandwiches right away, or keep them in the fridge, so all this isn't an issue?

Soup and a sandwich. 

See, I never thought it was a war thing. I wasn't weirded out by butter on sandwiches because my grandmother has done that my whole life. I always thought she was funny for doing that until I came here. Her mother is English and emigrated to the US around 1905, so when I came here, I thought she must have learned it from her English mother.

As to margarine, I like my own mother's philosophy.  She once told me "if I'm going to have the fat, I may as well have the good stuff that tastes of something." Somehow that just made sense, and I don't touch margarine now.
