The man next to me on the train is eating walnuts by using them to scoop butter from a whole block which he has just opened. AIBU to find this odd?

That is considered a delicacy in Basildon

Ugh. Yes, very odd, but then again, I have a friend that enjoys chips with ice cream. Confused

Atkins diet? Grin

It's weird and sounds gross. Yanbu.

I'm guessing we shouldn't knock it til we've tried it, but I'm also guessing nobody will come along volunteering to give it a go! Weird combo & even weirder place to tuck into a pack of butter. Mind you at least neither foodstuff is stinky, in that respect it's a fairly courteous if odd choice of snack Grin

NormaSmuff pretty much, each mouthful is about 50% butter and 50% walnut. He's consumed about a quarter of a block of butter.

Wondering how that compares peanut butter. I eat that with a spoon!

I'd eat walnuts dunked in butter. Not in public obviously but I'd give it a go. Butter makes all food 500% better.

Ah, could be the Atkins diet I suppose... he also has a small block of blue cheese which he is carefully cutting into cubes. He is very well-prepared: has a sharp knife and small sealable bags.

I had walnuts atop cubes of Cheshire cheese earlier. Butter wouldn't be as nice I don't think, but I'll give it a go and report back.

Butter, walnuts, and blue cheese? Definitely low carbing! Tell him to join the MN low carb threads for tips on tastier snacks 😂

I'd rather roast the walnuts in melted buttter than eat straight butter. That's hard core.
