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

And why on earth not?

Well, yeah. What sandwiches are not getting lettuce in your neck of the woods? Besides peanut butter or grilled cheese, I mean? Meat sandwiches usually get lettuce, tomato, mayo, and perhaps cheese, mustard and sliced pickle, depending. There could be other things, too. Hot peppers! Bacon! Avocado!

Uh, this is not a good conversation for the middle of the night. *iz peckish now*

Jam, honey, lemon honey.

I was going to say vegemite but I have actually heard of marmite and lettuce, so this sentence is mostly an excuse to giggle at the memory of a USan trying vegemite for the first time and spreading it thick on his bread like you would peanut butter.

Sandwiches with meat/salad-stuff were a minority of the sandwiches I ate when I was a kid.
