Americans have no idea how to butter sandwiches – and Brits can’t handle it
A BRITISH tourist has sparked huge debate after he asked his sandwich to be buttered while in the US – only to get back something very bizarre.
They explained that they were on holiday in Michigan with their dad when they ordered a takeaway sandwich.
They wrote on Reddit: “They don’t butter their sandwiches across the pond.
“This is what happened when my Dad asked for his to be buttered.”
The picture showed the sandwich in a styrofoam container – with the outside of the sandwich buttered rather than the inside.
The Reddit poster later admitted that America does “lots of food well” like burgers and BBQs, but added: “Sandwiches are not something they do well.
“The bread is garbage and the butter is garbage.”
Many people were rightly stunned by how they were served the snack.
One person said: “Are they f****** stupid?”
Someone else commented: “I’d ask for a refund. That looks like they are taking the piss.”
However, lots of Americans chimed in who were confused by the concept of butter inside a sandwich.
One wrote: “American here. Equally confused. You butter the inside of your sandwich bread?
Another said: “My girlfriend is from the US and when I asked her if she’d buttered the bread for a sandwich she looked at me like I’d just grown a second head.”
A third also said: “If you’d have asked me to butter the bread, I would’ve done the same thing.”
Lots of people suggested they could have buttered the outside in case they thought it was being toasted.
It’s not the first time a debate has been sparked between Americans and Europeans.
A waitress slammed a group of European tourists after she said they didn’t tip her enough when they left $70 on a $700 check.
Some Americans agreed with her, while other tourists said that was still a huge tip.
And a holidaymaker recently sparked debate over how many pairs of underwear should be taken on holiday.
