Peanut butter

[sunshineandrainbowsparkles]

Serious question.
If you eat peanut butter on toast... do you use regular butter too?

Yes! Cream cheese too though I could eat it without.

And what do you all mean, too sticky/helps it spread?
My smallest DC struggles to spread, but really... once you've learned to use a knife it's not so tricky, surely?

I actually think PB is totally blech but I do a lot of surrogate spreading for others and have never found an issue.

Only if I'm putting Marmite on first

Notalotta Oh. Also .... No.

But just to reassure you, I was in the camp of buttering an Ice Bun. But that's clearly different to me.

Butter and Nutella would be grim. Leave off the Nutella.

No butter usually. It is fine with butter but it's a bit rich and sickly.

I find that's the heat from the toast melts the peanut butter so butter isn't required. If you leave your toast until it's cool before putting pb on, the pb doesn't melt and sticks on the top coldly. Not as pleasant.

Now I want toast and peanut butter... I'm on a diet too!!

White bread + margarine + PB + sprinkle of salt = toast heaven

Did you just say salt?!

My friend has peanut butter on toast with cheddar cheese on top.She is a bit odd though. I am so hungry now.

No no no no no! Jam yes

Of course

No. the butter stops the on spreading properly. Pb straight on very hot toast melts a little and spreads like a dream.

No but I don't butter any sandwich I have.
The only time I butter (lots of it) is for baked beans on toast.

Oh yes sunshine

My rationale is that people eat salted peanuts, right?

Try it, it's DIVINE.

Why do you Brits have to f*ck up all your sandwiches with butter?

Butter acts as a barrier, how do you stop your bread getting soggy otherwise?
I usually don't butter with peanut butter but I top it with apple or banana slices so that stops it being dry.

Sunshine - I put ground rock salt and ground pepper on hot buttered crumpets.

Now that is a match made in heaven! Keep your runny honey and jam crumpets, salt and pepper is scrumptious!!

Synec - I love buttered bread with salt and drizzled with salad cream I don't know how I ended up doing it but it's my guilty pleasure!!

Will try the salt on pb... yum!

Yes I butter. Unless I'm putting peanut butter and Nutella together. Omg that's amazing. Like a Reece's peanut butter cup on toast!

Noooo, I'm a Brit that doesn't use excessive butter. Jam and peanut butter is the best!

Requestingsunshine - they now do a reese's spread for toast! It's about £6 a jar though and I'm too tight to try it!

Nosquirrels I can't believe you butter an iced bun! Thats just wrong.

Re the stickiness, I mean sticky to eat, not to spread.

Farmfoods do the Reeses peanut butter cups Spread at £1.99

Oooh thanks drama!

The problem with peanut butter that won't spread is eliminated if you don't keep it in the fridge. There is no need to keep it in the fridge.

And the argument for using butter to keep fillings from making bread go soggy on toast is nonsense - the whole point of butter on toast is to make it melt and soak the bread.

There is definitely a place for butter-soaked toast and a place for peanut butter-soaked toast, but no place for the two together, is all I'm sayin'.

I've never put peanut butter in the fridge but in winter it's pretty hard even kept in a cupboard.
