Toast - buttered hot or cold

[VSS]

Oh, and it's got to be home-baked bread

(And none of that bread maker machine nonsense, either!)

First a bit of a ramble. For thirty years we heated with nothing but firewood and only recognized two defined seasons; one where the butter, if left out would spread easily and the other not. So, for me there is only one choice that works in all seasons and that is buttered while hot and allowed to melt in deeply.

Are you ready? I am now going to say something that can never be unspoken.

I don't do butter!

Not on toast, not in mash, not on sandwiches, I just don't do butter.

Is this because you have never been able to perfect the ultimate butter knife

 

[JockStalk]

Agree with all except the bovril above, however.

Dark toast, left to go cold, spread thickly with butter. Nowt wrong with that either.

Neither do I. Accept on toast!

God's my witness.

Hello, Lashings of Clover soon as it pops up from the toaster , Much now liking Ginger jam

Yep, bovril is good!
I was almost dreading reading this thread, in case anyone mentioned marmite

Incoming--if I have scrambled egg or marmalade, definitely no butter (plant butter in my case). If accompanied by MARMITE, butter the Hot toast, then spread Marmite while the butter is still melting. Yum yum

Does anyone regularly use a muffin dish or muffineer to keep the buttered toast warm?

I can recommend it.

That's what my wife does. She's odd, too

and then tear each slice into bite sized pieces and butter each one individually before eating

Is that the back seat of a 1970's Jensen?

Anyone make their own butter? 600ml double cream gives 230g of beautiful butter, and a pint of buttermilk. Dead easy, too

This year is the first year for almost as long as I can remember that we've actually bought butter. Prior to that it was all homemade, from our own cows.
I can't say that I'm enjoying bought butter very much, but it's better than no butter at all.

Just when I thought Budget day couldn't get any worse, I vote in the poll, and discover that three quarters of the stalking community is comprised of people with dubious taste and no sense of decorum. Toast cold and crisp, please, with copious plastering of salted (English) butter !

 

[VSS]

Perhaps we should discuss crumpets, too?
Toasted, with lashings of butter on the holey side, they pair particularly well with fried soft herring roe.

how do you milk a plant?

 

[opticron1]

Warm toast......with a thin scraping of butter.......half a pound lasts months!
Has to involve marmalade.....home made especially!

 

[BenBhoy]

Butter on toastt as quick as possible once its out toaster

Yep, this. Why in all that makes any sense would you do it any other way? Cold toast?? Cold. Toast. ?????

 

[BenBhoy]

Until your poll, I didn't realise there was another way. Not that I will be trying it. The thought provokes huge levels of rage.
