the German Butterbrot tradition

[Zebra]

When I asked this morning what you like on your bread, I had completely forgotten that the Anglo-Saxon world does not know the tradition of the German Butterbrot.

The German word Butterbrot (literally: butter bread = bread with butter) describes a slice of bread topped with butter. It is still considered Butterbrot even if additional toppings such as cheese, spreads, or lunch meats are added, as long as it consists of a slice of bread with butter.

And:

The Russian language adopted the term buterbrod (бутерброд) from New High German (Butterbrot),[2] perhaps as early as the 17th century during the reign of Peter the Great. In modern Russian the term has a more general meaning, whatever the ingredient on top of the slice of bread is. From Russian, the term buterbrod was adopted into Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Georgian, Kazakh, Ukrainian, and Lithuanian.

Everybody does it . The point at issue is about fertility rate and whether people like the OP should be allowed to. Ever . Even after therapy .

History:

Today in Germany, the Butterbrot is slowly declining in popularity. To try to re-instate its popularity, there is an annual "Day of the German Butterbrot" in Germany. The Butterbrot is still, however, eaten more than fast food. It is also still enjoyed frequently as a lunch or in-between snack at work or school.
