Toasted tiger bread with butter and jam...lighthearted.

212 replies

As the title says. Toasted till dark but not burnt tiger bread with lashings of salted butter and a thick spread of extra special strawberry jam. Am I being an unreasonable weirdo with both butter and jam? Or am I a very reasonable buttery jam munching slavery carb muncher? How do you take yours? If you like toast/butter/jam? Or too scared and just toast/jam. 😃

With garlic butter and cheese. None of this 'jam' nonsense.

Something else for me to try 😋

Noooo I'm trying to lose weight you bastards <dribble>

Can I have a day off...

Skip the butter and go for St Dalfour reduced sugar conserve. Expensive, smaller than standard jar, but totally worth it.

Jam on its own would seem dry?! You need the butter to moisten the toast. Must be tiptree jam though, or homemade 🥰

BeaLola · 08/08/2025 08:57

Of course toast is buttered before anything goes on top of it - that's the rules !

My faves are Aldi blackcurrant jam next or if in savoury mood a smidge of marmite. Also Aldi maple butter (after normal buttter) on top is a look so pretty damn good.

I can allow that - it feels wrong to me, but if others wish to indulge...

Chocolate spread straight onto naked toast also feels wrong... that I cannot permit. This is a Pro-Butter Regime!

How's everyone feeling about butter - jam - clotted cream on scones?

Its butter, clotted cream and then jam

And I will fight you over this if you disagree.

Outside!!!

I applaud every one of your points except that tbh I'd quite happily eat buttered toast with chocolate spread!

Yes , but with butter and RASPBERRY jam 😋

tinytemper66 · 07/08/2025 22:28

I would use raspberry conserve myself…

beachwalkx · 07/08/2025 22:15

jam and cream cheese is my favourite

Butter and honey on thick white bread - beautiful!

SheepBaaBaa · 07/08/2025 22:11

Oo tiger bread is delicious. My preference is lightly toasted with lots of butter. It doesn't need the jam. It is tasty if its added though.

Needacupofteaandcrackers · 07/08/2025 21:59

Nope toasted with thin spread of butter and quality cheddar….. it’s the only acceptable way

Inchworms · 07/08/2025 21:52

Heavily seeded solid brown bread, clover honey, banana slices, cinnamon. If you’re making a day of it, drizzle of Nutella on top

@BreadInCaptivity not sure if this would be your thing but I got a passionfruit and mango curd in Waitrose the other week and it is absolutely divine on toast!

Sounds divine…thank you. Will put on my shopping list!

Try this.

Toast, peanut butter. Grated cheese on top, with chilli flakes on top of that. Melted under the grill

Try that!!

Some great suggestions - I’m on MJ thanks to these sort of treats lol but I’ll defo try in small portions.

I did the Atkins years ago and tiger bread in all its iterations was the only carb I missed!

BebbanburgIsMine · 07/08/2025 21:33

YABVU

Only because I hate butter, and all things dairy, so just the bread (and I very rarely eat bread) and (preferably) homemade Scottish Raspberry Jam.

My best friend loves the thick crust off a fresh unsliced large whole meal loaf, thickly buttered and spread with salad cream. Not mayo. Has to be salad cream.

I can smell that beautiful toasted tiger bread right now!! I love mine with peanut butter and jam on top, or sometimes with peanut butter, a banana and some honey. Bread doesn't agree with my stomach but I bloody love it 😋

Im the same, I cannot really eat bread. I can only tolerate small bits at a time. Massive shame

Now I have always been very conservative with my conserves, always a strawberry jam girl, raspberry at a push but while in madeira I did something reckless and tried pumpkin jam and omg it was bloody amazing.

Always butter AND peanut butter (wonders why I’m overweight 🤔) or butter and pate and chilli jam/caramelised onion.

😆 🤣 now pate and chilli jam I can buy into! 😋
