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. 😃

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?

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

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 ;)

Swap for finest raspberry jam and I’m in

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.

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.

Butter and Jam is fucking rank! The butter makes it slimy. One wetness only

It has never crossed my mind that people wouldn't butter first. Surely just jam means the toast is still quite dry?

No butter with chocolate spread, cheese spread or peanut butter, they spread well enough themselves but jam?!

When the butter mixes with the jam and makes it a little creamy, salted taste its so good 😋. If i wasnt sterilised i would think i was pregnant 🤣

I asked this question a while back but with peanut butter not jam. Most people said butter and peanut butter, a significant number said peanut butter and jam.

My go to is usually Marmite but sometimes I have honey. What do people think about butter and honey?

Sounds great, except I’d choose raspberry, apricot or blackcurrant jam personally.

I have raspberry jam ready to be opened as soon as the last of the strawberry is done...looking forward to it 😋. I've not tried apricot so thats next on the list.

Try switching the jam for honey… delicious! 😋

My friend actually said this...I must try!!

I recall Mary Berry saying she had toast in the morning made with her own bread, and a scrape of marmite. At the weekend she allowed herself marmalade.
Butter never mentioned. But then she is effectively our Queen now and thin as a twig.

I was still pregnant, I had to spend months in hospital as I had placenta percreata so was on watch 👀. It must of been a wee craving I had that I never got rid of 😆 🤣

I just have toast and jam, no butter, but thinking about it I would never have jam on tiger bread. Does the crust not taste weird with the sweet jam? Or am I missing out?!

Your missing out, its honestly very, very tasty, but, I might add that your a weirdo...get the butter on!!! 🤣

Love the crustiness of tiger bread. Any crusty bread is lovely, when toasted.

Your right. Its my guilty pleasure 😋

Ooohhhh im gonna try that next bread buy. Never used to like jam at all but when I was stuck in hospital for months when I was pregnant with our daughter 10 years ago I couldn't get enough of it, cheap bread it was but by god it awakened a serious taste sensation to me 😋🤣

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