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

And why on earth not?

Do you actually put butter on, or marge? I always like the idea of buttering my bread/ toast, but the practicality of soft margarine means it wins out over butter that either needs softening first, or otherwise tears your bread to pieces.

PS- you've never heard 'ahmnd' pronounced 'allmnd' by Americans? And I thought you watched a lot of US telly shows. :)

Not ones where they eat almonds...

I buy "spreadable butter", or else leave the butter out on the bench to keep it soft. Don't really like the taste of margarine.
