To butter or not to butter?

[AliceInWonderlines]

Do you butter crackers before adding cheese?

My husband and I can't agree. I suppose it's down to personal taste but I wondered what the consensus is.

I don't butter, just cheese and crackers is perfect for me.

Butter on crackers but not if I'm having digestives with cheese.

No

I do on toast with cheese

I do sometimes. A buttered cracker or matzo is a thing of delight. But usually if it's just a quick snack it'll be cheese on cracker/suggestive biscuit.

I always butter because it stops the cheese falling off

Always butter.

I don’t butter if I’m adding cheese. I do like buttered crackers as a snack though.

Butter, unless it's cream cheese.

Always butter
preferably French with salt crystals.

No butter but a good chutney or a tangy quince jelly. 🌹

Cheese and butter?

No.

No butter, but I spread the crackers with chutney to stop the cheese falling off.

I eat butter and cheese together, throw away the cracker!

Yes to butter.

Yes definitely

To me crackers are just the necessary vessel to get butter in my mouth. Cheese is optional. Agree it does fall off so butter as adhesive otherwise!

I'm just intrigued by the suggestive biscuit.

Just cheese nowadays, but I've just had a flashback to childhood and eating buttered Jacobs crackers. Licking them so that only the butter in the little 'dips' stayed on the cracker.

And I say butter, to be real I mean it was probably Happy Shopper marge.

Butter with hard cheeses but not with soft ones

No, I only use butter when there is no other ingredients involved. I can't understand butter in a bacon sandwich or on scrambled egg on toast or on a jacket potato if adding a topping like beans, cheese coleslaw etc. The only exception to the rule is marmite which requires a thin layer of butter first.

I think butter interferes with the taste of the cheese, so just cheese and crackers possibly with chutney if easily available. Crackers with butter are an entirely different but also delicious snack.

No, makes the cracker too slippery so the cheese slides about unappealingly when you bite into it.

I really want a suggestive cracker now. Fab autocorrect.

I only use butter if it's a British Hard Cheese such as Chedder or Lancashire. Anything else, No.

Not with cheese. But I do butter a cracker for marmite.
