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. 😃

🚨Butter In All Scenarios🚨
Salted, as well. I’m a blackcurrant/Frank Cooper obsessive personally but as long as there’s toast and butter I’M IN!!

It’s clearly a passionate topic. Blackcurrant jam or raspberry are my faves tbh!

Absolutely..a change from soul destroying topics about things that are actually unreasonable 😆 🤣

I need to try that. Apparently they do a really nice apricot one. Who would of thought so many people would reply to a little lighthearted post about toast and butter and jam. 🤣

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

It's weird with mashed avocado. Otherwise butter away.

@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!

Love it but sometimes butter and lemon curd on good toast just calls to me and in those moments jam (raspberry for my preference unless it’s DM’s homemade strawberry and gooseberry) won’t cut it.

Toast has to be buttered, thickly and right up to the edges. Then spread with strawberry jam (seedless raspberry will do at a pinch) marmalade (preferably Old English thick cut) Marmite or peanut butter (Whole Earth).

I really, really want toast and jam now but I haven't got any jam 🙁

Yep, every corner loaded with butter then jam 😋. I've not had marmalade for years..another one for the hit list.

I prefer it with blackcurrant jam...but I pay dearly afterwards. Damn that gluten intolerance!!! (still worth it though)

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/08/2025 19:21

Toast, lashings of good butter and jam or marmalade - food of the Gods. I very rarely eat bread or jam nowadays (curse you, type 2 diabetes), but when I do, I have either dark marmalade, lime curd or black cherry jam.

I did see Nigella do her double buttering technique - first layer when the toast is hot, so it melts in, and second layer when it’s cooler, so you get a layer of actual butter. I’ve never tried this, but I do like cool toast, and butter you can leave tooth marks in.

I'll tell you what is weird but totally fabulous. Butter a digestive or rich tea biscuit, add a dollop of raspberry jam and a piece of cheddar cheese on top.

Ooohhh I do like a buttered digestive with cheese...definitely going to try it with jam, never heard of thst one but definitely worth a taste

Well exactly…without the butter you’d have to use a lot more jam / marmalade as it’d soak into the toast, so the low calorie version is surely butter and jam ;)

Tiger bread toasted, butter and peanut butter 🤤

Shrimpybaby · 07/08/2025 19:19

My 4 year old has toast, butter, jam and honey all on a slice.

Just butter for me - I can't stand jam or honey!

I have butter and jam (always raspberry though)
DH and the DCs think I'm weird but we all know they are the weird ones, right?

Yes, yes they are...maybe switched at birth like mine 😆 🤣

Wait...there are people who eat jam on bread/toast without butter...just....why?

I like it whacked in the oven for a few minutes ( if it's a day old run it under the tap first to refresh it) then sliced so it's warm but still soft, then butter and jam.

For me toasted bread goes with butter, chocolate spread and peanut butter. The heat will melt the chocolate slightly, lush.

Unfortunately this is a rarity these days as gluten no longer agrees with but I can live vicariously through this thread.

My daughter loves chocolate spread on her toast but ive never actually tried it. Apparently the biscoff one is good too, but shes a heathen, no butter just spread. Bloody weird child. 🤣
