So having my morning toast (2 slices one butter the other jam or honey) I was thinking. Should I be buttering my toast before I put the honey or jam on. Or just go with the one spread?

Butter.

There is no not.

That you even thought about it is enough.

Butter first, then peanut butter (spread about 10mm thick) white bread Obvz.

Absolutely. Margarine or low fat spreads are as deadly as diesel cars. Rats don’t even recognise them as food and wont eat them, so if it’s not good enough for them, it’s not good enough for me.

This is a troll right?

My wife does this – she claims that butter is superfluous when you are going to apply jam to toast anyway. I also noticed recently that she only applies butter to one slice of bread when making a sandwich and she has also poisoned my children’s mind with the same practices so they now think that I’m the strange one. I suspect that citing this in divorce proceedings will automatically give me custody of the children.

i feel like ive potentially been missing out. Will try it tomorrow.

Ive only recently (last couple of years) put butter on my toast for beans on toast!

I only do butter/margarine on toast, more than anything to combat the dryness of the heated bread. Sandwiches, I don’t bother, basically the tub is ~99% MrsNOTG’s.

‘Spreadable’ butter here. What a tart I am..

Yes, butter it. And make sure you get right to the edges.

I am going to presume you are young but even so, how the hell are you even alive?

Not if subsequently applying another spread.

Hot buttered toast is, however, a delight.

These sort comments are making me see all other posts by the authors in a very different light.

Ah the good ole deadly margarine myth – one atom away from plastic (in the same way that hyrodgen peroxide is one atom away from water)

Rats will eat rotting meat and human faeces though so… 😉

Always butter my toast, but never spread jam on a whole slice, if I have jam it’s just the odd bite where I will spread jam to the bread before I bite it.

thats just strange….

So is more than three dots in an ellipsis… 😉

If you are going for pedantry points, three dots isn’t an ellipsis either, this is …

This is just weird, i mean how many knives do you get through? You do use a clean knife every time yes?

This ^^ it’s the law.

It might as well be plastic, for all the flavour it lacks.

Full butter coverage, while toast is both hot and still rigid, is a pre-requirement of being on this forum.
Please resign with immediate effect.

Honey straight on to toast make the toast go weirdly spiky feeling. Horrible.

what toast are you using. doesnt on mine

Well whatever bread I happen to have. Generally some kind of wholemeal thing. Of course this isn’t an experiment I repeat as I like butter, but when forced to experiment due to a lack of butter that was my experience. Maybe I have a more sensitive mouth?

maybe different honey? mines the runny stuff.

All butter is spreadable.

Unless you keep it in the fridge, which is akin to keeping consumable liquids in the freezer, like some sort of sadomasochistic pervert.

tbh it does become an issue in winter. On soft bread.

WHAT? How can this even be a question?

Don’t you just use it in slices anyway like a normal person? Much easier to tessellate for full coverage that way.

They’ll only eat the feaces of a butter eater though…

butter, peanut butter, strawberry jam and maybe even a little slice of brie for extravagance

Right, whilst we’re talking about butter.

I LOVE butter. And I believe it’s actually quite good for you, as opposed to other spreads, marg etc.

BUT

I don’t buy actual butter because when I come to use it it’s either a clarified goo or it’s as hard as a house-brick. So I buy the spreadable versions that you can keep in the fridge – Anchor, Lurpak etc.

Am I being a deluded fool in believing these are still as good as real butter. How do they achieve this state of temperature related consistency? Is it by adding a bit of harmless olive oil to the mix, or a load of dangerous chemicals/industrial by-products?

Ingredients

Butter (64%) (milk)

Rapeseed oil

Water

Lactic culture (milk)

Salt

There you go.
Over one third not butter.

I can’t believe it’s not [all] butter!

because when I come to use it it’s either a clarified goo

Turn the heating down & put a jumper on
