peanut butter problems

baratronI've been meaning to post this poll for about a month, since the last time Tim & Peter came round and ate peanut butter at me...
[Poll #352174]
You see (in case it wasn't obvious from the wording of the poll), I have always treated peanut butter as butter, and put it directly onto bread. I do the same thing with almost everything I put on bread - chocolate spread and even jam (only Marmite gets put over a layer of non-dairy butterlike stuff). But Tim & Peter both put normal butter on first, then a fairly thin layer of peanut butter. I think this is strange and mutant behaviour!
Peter has an excuse in that he is Dutch, and has thus grown up calling p.butter "peanut cheese". But Tim has no excuse, and moreover thinks I am the weird one for not putting normal butter on first! So who is right? Or at least, who is more in line with what "normal" people do? ;)

By the way, how can someone English ever by amazed what other people eat for breakfast?! ;-) If there's anything that has the mega-savourity-class in breakfast, then it's the classic English Breakfast (with salty sausages, sweet and salty beans in tomato sauce, even the veggie sausages are like that!)

English Brekkie, like how my dad cooks it. I shall insist on English Brekkie next time I visit my dad :)
