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. 😃

Or butter AND peanut butter 🤢

Yep butter & peanut butter.

butter & spread regardless of the spread. Unfortunately I very very allow myself toast (a couple if times a year) due to very low carb diet for diabetes control 🥲

Divine, and I need to buy bread tomorrow so thoughts of this will be in my head as I enter the shop. I try to stay away from tiger bread as is so moreish

OneNeatBlueOrca · 07/08/2025 19:59

Realise I have unsalted butter. Will have to go shopping tomorrow

I used to like buttered toast with orange marmalade and a little spread of hp sauce. However, I've gone right off hp. I don't know if it's me or if they've changed the recipe.

Yes, butter and jam for me!!

But I’m also a butter and peanut butter kinda gal. Wish I had room for some now …

Only on MN does one have to state 'lighthearted' to discuss enjoying some fucking buttered toast Grin

I have to have a small bit of butter with peanut butter or it gets too claggy in my mouth.

The butter softens the toast and it has to be homemade apricot or strawberry jam, yummy.

butter and jam is marvellous. I also love butter & marmalade on toasted brown bread 😋

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 don't like the smell of tiger bread. But thick bread toasted with salted butter - nothing else - is the food of the gods.

I could eat that all day ❤️

If anyone wants a treat. Buy a brioche loaf. Slather a slice with clotted cream and jam and devour it with a cup of tea. Dare I say it, it’s much, much better than a scone. 😋

Always butter and jam. My DH has butter with chocolate spread. Now that is gross.

No it's not!!

There is a sad bit in the book of the Railway Children when one of the children butters his bread and reaches for the jam, and his mother tells him they are poor now and it has to be one or the other from now on.

Better without the jam.
Or with marmite.

Completely mind blown. I didn’t realise that people had peanut butter on toast with no normal butter. What?
I have recently decided that life is too short for mediocre butter and have started buying the most ridiculous butter I can find, with big flakes of sea salt in, ideally rolled into a cylinder rather than a block. Worth every penny and makes every slice of toast exceptional. Can highly recommend.

Mmmmm butter.....and jam.

The crust on tiger bread is weird, what makes it weird?

I only ever have jam on fresh white crusty bread and butter.

Only marmalade should ever go on toast though......

I love the tiger bread crust. Wonder why its called tiger bread, thats a Google for bed time 😆 🤣.

I’m not keen on tiger bread, but thick white sourdough toast with butter and jam is the food of the gods.

I'm with Richard Osman on sourdough toast. Just, No.

I thought that was normal....butter and jam
I absolutely luv it 🍞 🧈 🍓

MightyCrabjoys · 07/08/2025 19:47

Always butter with whatever other topping is being used including peanut butter, chocolate spread and cream cheese. It’s too claggy without butter. One of my DC doesn’t like butter on toast the odd bod.
Tiger bread can get in the bin though, it’s just crappy supermarket bread with a weird tasting crust.
