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

212 replies

Flannelfeet · 07/08/2025 18:47

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. 😃

I have butter with chocolate spread, my Dh thinks I'm a weirdo.

I don't however have butter on a bacon butty, that is weird.

I don’t like butter on a bacon butty either - don’t like it toasted either. Has to be back bacon well cooked and bog standard slice white bread. And brown sauce. See, l want one now !!

i make a lot of jam but only elderly neighbours eat it these days. Any takers for strawberry, bramble jelly and lemon curd?
If you want to know why I still make it I cannot bear wasting the fruit!

I go butter and jam but fresh crusty tiger bread NOT toasted

FridayNightSinner · 07/08/2025 19:44

sounds like a quick version of scones! 👍

Morrisons bakery tiger bread uncut loaf is amazing

Mydahliasareshit · 07/08/2025 19:43

Now pate is a different thing again, as it's blended with fat. Can see no butter needed there.
But duck pate topped with a little smear of plum jam?
That could definitely happen.

Farmhouse loaf, thick slices so when both sides are perfectly dark (cooked near flame, no toasters!) the bit between them is still just perfectly fluffy.
Drowned in salted butter, and then, as a savoury fan either marmite (sue me!) or cod roe!
To each there own….

Edited

I'd forgotten about cod roe on toast! My lovely Nanny introduced me to this and it's sooooo good.

That is the food of the God's

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......

The great Yorkshire shop do a wonderful elderflower and gooseberry jam which I have on buttered low gi cob from Lidl. Also partial to some Lavender honey but always salted butter first whatever the topping!

Wonder if i could get it delivered to Scotland 🤔

This is just... the conventional way to eat toast. There's nothing unusual about it.

I see you and raise you: butter, peanut butter, chocolate spread, with a drizzle of raspberry jam... it's very very good.

Sandwich with peanut butter: buttered.
Toast with peanut butter: unbuttered.
I’ve no idea why

That first buttered bread with jam after giving birth hits different 🔥

Dry toast and jam? Just wrong.

Or butter AND peanut butter 🤢

Who doesn’t butter their toast no matter what the toppings? They’re the real weirdos!

This 100% ! Toast is not toast without proper salted butter and definitely not any of the revolting’spreads’ as an alternative!

RafaistheKingofClay · 07/08/2025 19:36

Sounds amazing.

Tedsnan1 · 07/08/2025 19:34

Why scared?
Always butter first before any other topping.
Without butter sounds awful.
