Interesting, my mom's father would butter (or margarine) just about every starch, too. He used to have grandma make him a ham and cheese sandwich, with butter on the bread. I guess it was in place of mayo?

I was at least 35 before I realized you didn't need butter in a sandwich.
The other great snack I remember from childhood was a Ritz crackers sandwich with peanut butter and white marshmallow fluff. Never pink. It was the fifties and Mom and Dad never had pink marshmallow in the house for their two boys. I'd have this snack tonight but we don't have Ritz crackers or white marshmallow in the house. (Maybe some pink marshmallow fluff because now we have granddaughters that visit often. 
)
I was just jonesin for pizza but I didn't wanna go get one or go make one, cuz lazy. Too bad, cuz gee we have pepperoni, a cpl different cheeses, olive oil, cherry tomatoes even, but I juuust don't wanna make any dough. But what have we here? Tortillas? Hey, thin crust! Fire up the oven, do 'em up, get impatient and stick it in there at 275, let it go to 400 and turn the heat off and slice 'r up. Well, maybe everyone that's in a grave in Italy is rolling in it, but the "crust" was crunchy-chewy, the cheese melted into it, and my quesadilla with delusions of grandeur totally hit the spot for like 5 minutes of prep work.
Some of y'all are freaks. But all y'all are my people. Around here it's usually a slice or two of sharp yellow cheddar, maybe a piece of bread. Or a ham sandy if I'm not too lazy. Freezer burritos if I'm pulling a late one. I usually keep some boiled eggs ready too, salt and pepper and that's a meal.
But we're eating better the last month so almonds and water. Disney next week so it'll be churros.
I like a tall glass of chocolate milk about an hour before bed.

I'm sure you know, but get that smoked turkey leg. It tastes like ham.
Good grief, people! You know how I hate to be that guy, but you folks are a mess. You should eat as early a dinner as your schedule allows, at least three to four hours before bedtime, and eat absolutely nothing after that. Of course, you can always forgive yourself for an occasional slip-up, but never let late snacking become a habit.
As a person whose schedule usually doesn't allow for dinner until after 9:00 pm, my go-to late night snack is usually just a supplement to dinner. I'm a crunchy/salty food enjoyer, so that means what I call "depression nachos", the formula for which is (whatever crunchy chip-like things I have in the cabinet, with a preference for tortilla chips) + (whatever cheese is in the fridge in an already shredded or sliced format), nuked in the microwave until melty.

Have you ever tried peanut butter in celery? "Mud in a Ditch", put raisins on it and it's called Ants on a Log.
Protien plus Veggies! Win-win.

I've never been big on the celery + peanut butter combo. I prefer my celery in blue cheese dressing and my peanut butter directly off a spoon.

After you make the freezer burrito, pour warmed enchilada sauce over it with a little shredded cheese, enchiladas FTW.
I've been on a cookies and milk thing for quite some time, switching between chocky chip, Oreos and Do Si Dos (peanut butter GS cookies staying fresh in the freezer).
Trying to switch it up, last summer included root beer floats sometimes. Been experimenting with milk shakes lately.
But I'm trying to rotate in less sugary treats like nachos or popcorn occasionally.
Sugar Sandwich...buttered bread with white sugar; toast dipped in hot chocolate; but tonight it's crackers with cream cheese and a coffee.
