the correct sentence: Bread and butter is eaten every day
because "bread" is an uncountable noun, and "butter" is too
-> uncountable noun + "and"+ uncountable noun+ verb(singular)+Object...
i have learned that formula

[Nola]

Thank you Tytestar. I appreciate that, but this is not the answer of my latest question.

Regards

If you have two subjects and conjunction - "and" in your sentence , you need to use - are!

Eg, The telegram and the letter have been sent off. Peter and Mary were here.

[Kate_Zam]

So, Fish and meat are eaten every day.

[Supper]

When you mean two things as a whole then it's okay to use "is"
When you mean two things as two separate things then you should use "are"

Bread and butter is eaten everyday. << "Bread and butter" together as a whole is what I'd like to talk about.
Bread and butter are eaten everyday. << Bread and butter are two separate things I'd like to talk about.

[Mister Micawber]

'Everyday' is an adjective: My everyday wear is a pair of blue jeans. You mean 'every day' (two words).
