i've just discovered my husband doing something very odd...

I do that. Started doing it when we were instructed to reduce our fat intake. Now that is shown to be another scientific whoopsie, it is such an engrained habit I still do it.

My sister (a war baby) has always only ever had butter OR jam/honey etc on bread, toast or scones.
Anybody else do that?

I frequently use only butter or jam - only ever jam and cream on a scone - eating bread with a meal I have no butter.

maybe that's it M0nica - he thought my reaction was very amusing!

I don't find it odd at all, all my family do the same! Mind you, I sometimes compensate by spreading it extra thickly!
An odd thing my grandmother used to do was hang up used tea bags to dry before re-using them! Perhaps thrifty rather than odd, but it seemed so to me as a child.
One of my many strange habits is to always arrange my food on its plate in the same order. Protein at 8 o'clock, carbs (or these days carb substitute) at 12 and vegetables at 4.
When eating something on toast I have a special way of cutting it neatly into rectangles. To cut across the corner first would be so wrong! I do not have OCD, honestly!

Whenever my late MiL made a hot drink she would whisk it as though she was using a fork and not a spoon.

DH has always done this with hot chocolate (so do most people, I think, in order to remove any lumps) but the other morning I could hear a vigorous whisking noise coming from the kitchen just before he brought me.....a cup of tea

My motherinlaw used to dry the teabags and reuse them. Nephew only liked his toast done one side, luckily they had a grill cant do it with a toaster.

I never use butter or margarine on toast, usually just a smear of goat's cheese.
DH whisks the tea and coffee whereas I just stir it. I can not understand the logic of whisking but friend says her DH does it too.

Does hanging up clothes to dry sideways on instead of right way up count?
Not that mrA hangs the washing out that often

My late MiL used to cut bacon sandwiches with large scissors, for all others, she used a knife. Thought this odd, but when we visited sister in law, she did the same thing. Must have been learned behaviour.

A Portuguese friend butters his toast on both sides, makes for very messy breadboards and plates.
I have always buttered just one piece of bread for a sandwich, I thought it was normal

I love my butter and could never butter just one side ?

When making tomato sandwiches I cut the tomato in half, then remove a little triangle of the core and discard it! I saw a friend do this and have done it for over 40 years now.

I always have to get rid of that bit inishowen

felice In the past, I buttered bread on both sides when making a toastie.
Needless to say, the toastmaker has been in the cupboard for years.

I do butter both pieces of bread for a sandwich, but on one side only.

If I'm using what I class as a wet filling I only butter one slice of a sandwich. I always have jam or butter on toast or scones. Glad I'm not the only one who plates up food in the same arrangement every time.
It's a standing joke in our house that H has toast with his butter and marmalade.

Depends what's going in the sandwich. It's hard to spread cream cheese on top of butter. Same goes for peanut butter. Without something to stick it together, though, other, drier sandwich fillings e.g. ham and salad will just fall out!

DH puts marmite on fruit things - doesn't like butter - weird!!!

I like my butter with bread, and slap it on with gay abandon..

And the butter does stop the wet filling soaking the bread (unless you like it soggy of course).
Scones with either butter (fruit ones) OR jam then cream.

I found my husband putting mayonnaise on just one slice of bread when making me a sandwich. Soon put him right. The only time he uses butter on his bread is if he is making a banana sandwich. He says it is because when he was in the army in the middle east the butter substitute was so vile he went without any spread. If I make him toast and marmalade I put butter on first and he doesn't complain. I only ever have butter in the house . No margarine spreads allowed here.

merlot my DH whisks tea ? You get a nice head of froth
