i grew up eating them made with margarine. my wife did too.
we've tried butter and prefer it without. i used to make grilled
ham and cheese on whatever was in the breadbox. since about 10
years ago i've been making it exclusively on that one brand of rye
and adding a little dollop of bacon fat, no more than 1/8 tsp, to
the pan for each side of the sandwich.

 Most of the boomer generation used margarine when growing up. Margarine
was seen as the healthier and cheaper alternative to butter. These days,
I'll use mayo to make a grilled cheese sandwich. It's the better
tasting, nicer looking alternative to butter.

OMG, I feel left out.  Our family never got the message.  We, including extended family, were stuck using pure better.
First time I ever put margarine on toads what in my 30s.  We were staying with friends and that is what was on the table at breakfast.
