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

Tiger bread is fabulous, however (and hear me out) Co-op do a seeded sourdough sliced half-loaf thing which has the most perfect texture for toast.
Most store-bought sourdough is only any use for tiling roofs with, or throwing at seagulls. This is dense yet moist, substantial yet yielding (like a good lover - delete which adjectives to suit yourself) and toasts like a dream, if you dream of toast.

I tend to eat it with lightly salted peanut butter and honey and no actual butter, but I concede to being very odd about food.

Bettyfromhomeroom · 07/08/2025 20:51

Sorry OP (and everyone else who voted YANBU), you are being unreasonable. Everyone knows tiger bread is for savoury toppings only😂

Butter and jam if it's tea
Just butter if it's coffee
Not too dark and the crusts must be burnt.
Peanut butter is ok at a push, with banana 🍌

I appreciate cream cheese and jam on toast (only if the CC does not have guar gum in it - looking at you Philadelphia)

But I very much prefer, if going down that route, clotted cream and jam on the toast. On top of the butter of course.

Has to be white toast for that one though, none of your wholemeal or sourdough.

taxidriver · 07/08/2025 20:42

or marmalade, probably marmalade would be wonderful

ACatAsleepInYourHat · 07/08/2025 20:40

Of course it has to be both butter and jam on toast, anything less is pure heresy! Such is my love for jam, I even used to eat the Tesco Value stuff, which was a weird fluorescent red colour not known in nature. Anyone remember it?

Doorstep Tiger bread toasted just under carbonisation point with a thick layer of quality butter and then an equally thick spreading of Bonne Maman Black Cherry conserve is the food of the Gods.

However - and those of you with a nervous disposition may wish to clutch your pearls at this point - toast with Philadelphia (other soft cheeses are available) and jam is equally nice, and may even be better in some respects. There, I've said it. You may present your counter-arguments.

Toast for me is SAVOURY only.

YABU.

I was diagnosed with celiac 5 years ago and I can never eat delicious, soft white bread again.

(Please no suggestions GF bread, it’s horrendous and full of shite and I’ve tried baking my own, all sorts of different recipes and it’s all a poor comparison to real bread).

Edited

You have my absolute sympathy...my Mum (was), brother AND SiL (are) all coeliac and bread is the one thing that I really (did) and do feel for them over.

Conversely, Warburton's GF tiger bread was about the best of a bad bunch for Mum, particularly toasted - it almost looked like normal bread sometimes!

The only acceptable preparation is:

Toast + butter + whatever topping you want .

Toast must go with butter. If no butter, then no toast.

Butter + peanut butter is fine, peanut butter is not butter, it's ground up peanuts. It's too claggy without butter.

Anyone who eats toast + jam, no butter, needs to be fired from a cannon into the sea!

(My resolve on the butter issue gets shakey when it comes to chocolate spread because obviously butter plus chocolate = wrong. The answer is to not eat chocolate spread on toast/bread. Dip biscuits in it instead.)

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

Jam without butter is crap! The toast is too dry. Now, how about butter, peanut butter and jam? Peanut butter is the food of the gods. Unfortunately I'm gluten intolerant these days, so I have to put loads of delicious stuff on to disguise the taste of the shit gf toast.

Who the hell buys unsalted butter?

Even if a recipe calls for unsalted butter I ignore it and use salted butter

And then some more salt.

Because of this thread, I came straight home and made a piece of toast with butter and jam. Though it was nice I was disappointed. My butter wasn't salted and my bread wasn't tiger.

taxidriver · 07/08/2025 20:28

unless it was blackcurrant jam

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. 😃

Literally had exactly this for breakfast. It was delicious.

AhBiscuits · 07/08/2025 20:26

Toast must always be buttered irrespective of what you are adding next.
