What's your favourite sarnie/butty?

My parents put butter on sandwiches that really don't need it and it drives me mad. Looks like I'm in the minority.
Out of all of the sandwiches on that list, they all already have some moisture without the need for butter:
Perhaps you, and others in this thread, misunderstand.
The point of butter, or mayonnaise, in most sandwiches is to protect the bread from sog. Any sarnie involving tomato, for example, that doesn't have a protective layer between the to's (I'm trying this out as a contraction of tomatoes) and the bread will end up with soggy, soggy bread. And no one wants soggy, soggy bread,
Oh I totally get that. But where there's mayo, there's no need for butter. And if you slightly toast the bread first it will mostly hold off the sogginess. And it's only really a problem with basic sliced bread, some nice crusty or dense grainy bread will often hold up anyway.
To me, it's the equivalent of something like deep frying bacon. Probably still delicious but not really necessary.
I would like to get behind To's, but it's a bit too similar to toes. I like the idea of toes in my sandwiches less than butter.
