Whats more essential on a sandwich?

Question

Butter or mayonnaise?

I choose butter as I hate sarnies without it I can eat one without mayo but it does make it better and more moist

Answer 1

I hardly ever use butter.  I may use Miracle Whip occasionally.  Mostly I use Mustard  

Answer 2

Id use a low fat spread (not necessarily butter) something like Olivio made from olive oil as its better for you and ''good'' fats instead of fatty cancer causing fats that have been chemically altered.

Answer 3

Butter :) I dont like mayo

Answer 4

Both are good.  I like Heinz sandwich spread myself.

Answer 5

I guess butter because it goes with absolutely everything. I luuuurve mayonaise but it doesn't go with everything (I mean ham and mayonaise sandwich and nothing else = a bit weird / ham and butter sandwich = nice combo).

Answer 6

Miracle Whip on most sandwiches that have meat in them.  We only have mayo on sandwiches in a restaurant.  Don't even keep mayo in our house.

Jam sandwiches need only jam and bread.  My Mom always put butter on any sandwich, and we always argued about that.  I thought she was spoiling the taste of it, she thought she was improving it.

Answer 7

def mayo...i never put butter in a sandwich, only on toast

Answer 8

most people prefer butter because they are more tastier...

mayonnaise may sometimes give you a bellyache

Answer 9

I buy the cheapest mayonnaise and spread that on bread for a sandwich, if i want jam on bread then obviously i use cheap margarine with a supermarket cheap strawberry jam, taste as good as the others and if you hungry can seem better.

Answer 10

I can't think of any sandwich that I'd put butter on, except an egg sandwich.  I like a little mayo on some sandwiches, but spicy mustard is much more important to me

Answer 11

Surely, the standard thing to do with bread is to BUTTER it !

Answer 12

MMMMMMM mayonaise all the way...especially when it's a chicken salad sandwhich...my tummy just started rumbling, im off to make one!.

Answer 13

peanut butter and nutella!

Answer 14

butter...cuz what if your having a jam sandwich??? but i would have salad cream over mayonaise any day.. it tastes better :)

Answer 15

Definitely mayo. I have butter but only on certain things. But you can't have a sandwich without mayo.

Answer 16

Hellman's mayonnaise is an essential sandwich condiment. Hellman's is considered the best mayonnaise.

Answer 17

You may as well put a chunk of lard on it, those are both bad for you, try mustard or at least miracle whip they have a lot less harmful fats in them. I don't mean to nag but you must watch your fat intake or it will cause major health problems later. Good luck.

Answer 18

Mayo =]

Answer 19

neither, I'd rather have it plain! But I normally put mustard on my sandwiches!

Answer 20

Actually I reckon the bread is the most important thing.  If it's rubbish bread, no matter how good the filling it's just not going to taste as good as you hope it will.  

Answer 21

I prefer mayonnaise but then again I always have salad in my sandwiches so need something like mayo or pickle to make them moist and tasty.

Answer 22

Butter me up!!

Answer 23

Butter defo. But it depends. If you have cheese then no butter ergh.

Answer 24

Butter, like you I can't eat a sandwich without it :)

Answer 25

Lurpak - every time!

Answer 26

most important GOOD BREAD

I hate this mushy white gunk for me, dark bread only. either a good rye, pumpernickel or whole wheat.

Answer 27

well essential?  normally means having a filling. the fat based spread such as mayo or butter isn't that but does offer a huge taste improvement.

personally I cant stand mayo but love butter  so.. everybody may have a different answer but the question posed asks the 'essential' on a sandwich so my answer has to be 'The Filling'.

Answer 28

I would sat it depends on the bread.When it's soft,mayonnaise totally spoils it IMO,and butter should be preferred.

Answer 29

Mayo is only necessary when you've got meat.

When you have mayo, you don't need butter also.

It doesn't make the bread more moist at all, just the meat/ filling.

Combining them only adds completely unnecessary calories

Answer 30

butter, cos not all sandwiches have mayo in them x xx  

Answer 31

Mayo! 4 shizzle!
