...do Americans not put butter on their sandwiches?

And why on earth not?

Nope, generally not. I'll put it on cucumber sandwiches or even tomato sandwiches, but that's because I had a Canadian friend when I was a teenager and she's the one who introduced me to those two types of sandwiches in the first place.

It's just totally automatic for me. I'd never even dreamed of not putting butter on sandwiches.
