How do you like your butter on your toast?

How I have my butter on toast will depend on what the topping is. I like to put my butter on straight away, so it melts into the hot toast if im having sweet toppings such as jams & honey, with Marmite being the savory exception!!

If I’m having any other savory topping such as brown sauce or pickle, I’ll let the toast go cold first before I applying the butter.

I don’t think we talk about our butter preferences enough in the UK, so we need to change this!!

How do you like you toast butter?

  • Always melted on hot sticky toast
  • I like to mix it up depending on topping, mood, day of the week
  • Never considered this before you weirdo
  • Toast cooled so the butter stays hard

Always on hot toast. The key question is how much. If you listen to the Ayatollah, she will tell you that it should be applied to no greater thickness than a micron, where the word which would best describe my efforts is “slathering”

That fact this site can transition so seamlessly between toast toppings and slavery is mind blowing.

I think we need another option - toast well browned with melted butter, whether with or without topping.

^^ Lou, please just start your own ‘how crispy do you like your toast’ thread and stop trying to take this one off topic :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Brown sauce or pickle on toast? Jesus Christ.

As long as it’s butter and not the devil’s alternative spread, I am not that fussy.

I don’t allow my slaves to eat toast.

I take a bite of dry toast, and then lick the butter dish. If I’m out of butter, I chug back some vegetable oil. If I’m out of vegetable oil, I use scrapings from the grease tray at the bottom of my Oven.

Is that like the Bearsy version of posh pubs that have fancy bread with a pot of olive oil and balsamic vinegar?

If you’ve not tried it, don’t knock it!

I flit between melted on hot toast or leaving the toast to cool so the butter stays solid. Both are great. Toast is great. Butter is great.

I prefer my butter on top of the toast. If its not, I may cry.
