When your skivvy takes the picture there will be [s]one or two[/s] no packs of margarine down in the bottom left hand corner

ftfy, as I said, no one markets their product as Margarine anymore.

These traumatic events are the sole reason I usually reach for the olive spread.

And while we're at it, what other things are out there that you possibly assumed had been consigned to history because they fell off your radar, but that you discovered are still in circulation?

You can still get salted fish, dried peas, tinned carrots, all sorts of things in the 'grocery' aisle.

These traumatic events are the sole reason I usually reach for the olive spread.

Why the hell are you keeping butter in the fridge? Ours stays out, except for the couple of hot weeks we get a year. It does not go off.

I'm not, it's in a dish on the side, but the kitchen is a little chilly in the morning.
Besides, unless you heat your house to about the level of Death Valley, I find that the butter is rarely compliant enough to yield to a fresh slice of soft bread, as delicate in its application as I am.

Our kitchen is usually about 18 or so.

There's a technique to spreading cold butter though.

That’s also a sorry excuse for a piece of bread up there. Proper bread with proper texture takes butter much more easily.

use a cheese slicer to make really thin slices of butter

for example

Those using spread because you can't spread butter from the fridge. Seriously guys get a butter dish and don't keep your butter in the fridge. Spreads like a dream

But it's warm then, and even more bowfin(I genuinely dislikle the taste of butter, it's too, erm... buttery! 😆 ). How do you get the cool refreshing taste of half a tonne of chilled spread on your piece and banana?

Boak.

Fruit has no place on a sandwich.

You haven't lived my friend!

I'd a piece and roast chicken, complete with veg last night, it was surprisingly amazing! I think you can pretty much put anything on a piece to be honest, another delight I remember is a piece and spaghetti bolognese, sublime that was! I think it was the double carbs of bread and pasta that did it!

Yes, I too wonder why i'm a fat *...! 😆

Oh but I have. I've lived long enough to have been fed a banana piece when I was wee.

It's not for me.

Pie, beans and broon sauce in a plain bread ootsider on the other hand....

Sounds like warm butter may have been the issue here!

Nope it was the manky banana / bread combo.

The thick coating of Blue Band margarine didn't improve it any.

piece

That's two of you now, I guess this must be the STW word of the week?
You know, the one that everyone starts using as if they always had in a desperate attempt to maintain herd mentality.

See "dog whistle racism" or "virtue signalling" for similar results. 😉

Anyway, I'm off to easily spread some room temperature butter on some fresh white bread before inserting the bacons, with nought else.
We call this a "sandwich". 😯

Unless you are Scottish, in which case you call it a "piece".

Don't be daft - cows make milk, not butter!

When did you last see a calf eating a sandwich?

Sandwiches are made from bread, silly.

So margarine is unhealthy because it no longer contains stuff we found out was unhealthy?

Aren't most of these spreads essentially butter or buttermilk, plus oil (olive,vegetable,palm) and some kind of thickener?

You're describing things that aren't margarine. But that wasn't my point, which is that for decades, the food industry promoted the consumption, on health grounds, of a cheap, mass produced product that turned out to be less healthy than its traditional alternative. Having been forced to move on with spreads, the same industry continues to load other processed foods with the same crap.

I apologise seosamh77, it appears that you did use the term once before.
Unfortunate that you had to use a thread started by the other member I referred to though, and in that very thread he uses the term "sandwich" instead. 😉

Now that looks like bread that is made specifically to contain chips,

Nah, it was produced in conjunction with the makers of square lorne sausage in order to produce the perfect breakfast of champions...... "A piece an' square sausage"*

In the thread linked you call it a sandwich in the thread title and twice in the post. 🙂

That's because I'm not grovelling and didn't mean it anyway. 😆

Any other forum I'd simply add the word "almost" to my earlier post and be done with it. 😛

Hat's off for actually taking the time to trawl back through the forum though, especially considering how poor the search function is.
Hope I didn't hit a nerve. 🙂

ETA: next sandwich will be butler's steak and whatever blue cheese my man has in.
With butter.

Apropos of nothing, I once witnessed a Scouse joiner running into a site cabin on a Glasgow building site ( the Royal Mail sorting office at St Rollox) in a panic because he thought there was about to be a gunfight in the site canteen.

He'd overheard a heated argument between two Glaswegian brickies which ended when one stormed off in the huff, declaring that he was going out to his van "to get his piece"

Just seems my googling skills and memory are better than yours!

You've linked to the same thread as before... 😳

If you change your search terms to "piece" and "sandwich" you can see how infrequently the term has been used over the years. 🙂

Hungry weans.

Thousands of them. 😉

By all accounts the type of bread used or the fillings contained therein are immaterial to the outcome of the calculation.
