To think butter is not a filling?

[VIX1980]

Were going on a picnic with the inlaws, mil insits on using half a tub of butter in each sandwich, i've made some without as i dont fancy dining on butter buttys,
i was given the death stare for refusing to join her in her butter gang.

I now know why dp hates the stuff with a passion! Butter is not the main thing of a sandwich i want to taste, im not wrong am i?

OP if you are talking (as I see you are) about mank in a tub like Clover, then no YANBU. Why anyoen would want to eat that ever is beyond me.

No actual yummy butter not in a tub no never is yummmmmy on a nice slice of bread.

DD doesn't like it tho wierdo

It's a question of taste. Your dislike of overly buttered sandwiches is not U. But then neither is it U to like them. Proper butter on fresh bread it utterly delicious imho. But is there any reason why you can't ask for the butter to be lightly spread on your sandwiches?

If it is good butter. Yum!

But I agree that there should be a variety.

Eurgh, clover is defnintely not butter, no. It's a spread. It's likely to be made of mainly oil/vegetable fats. Any kind of spread that comes in a plastic tub and can be spread straight from the fridge is not butter. It's rank margarine. I still can't eat shop bought sandwiches as they are full of cheap nasty marge.
I love butter. On home made bread, on crumpets, on toast, anything. Spread on the other hand is cheap and artificial and should be avoided at all costs.

This. In fact all these allegedly buttery abominations are known as 'Snot Butter" in our house. On the grounds that we can believe that "It's not butter".

I have just bought a TUB of Anchor Spreadable * sticks tongue out.

Ingredients are butter, vegetable oil and water btw.

Oh yum. Butter on bread, sprinkled with sugar [bushock]

Lurpak spreadable is 69% butter

Anchor spreadable is 58% butter

I have the tub, Orange, I can see the ingredients on Anchor. It's blended with, shock, vegetable oil and, horrors, water. At least it's not emulsifying this and additive that.

Yanbu. For this reason I rarely, if ever, make using sandwiches butter.

It's even worse when someone makes a sandwich and slathers it in horrible greasy marge.

I'm a fan of lurpak spreadable

I posted the details of lurpak and anchor as they are clearly made of mainly butter, in order to refute the arguments of those who claimed that tubs are full of fake fat, marge or oil

I always use butter in sarnies, but thinly spread, however I sometimes have thickly spread with just butter, but I wouldn't serve those to anyone else.

Well i survived with no butter on my butties, for the record she does know i hate the stuff but tells me she cant bear to watch me eat dry bread so insists on me having it (the same when she cooks a roast, she doesnt believe i actually like the meal not swimming in gravy) i guess i just like dry foods! So i just make my own now for myself and ds as i dont want him eating lumps of lard

To be fair shes still getting over the shock of us buying brown sugar rather than white, theyve had it in their teas for the past 9 years with no complaints ever since they started coming round but as soon as she made herself a cuppa and found to her horror the sugar bowl was brown its never tasted the same since

had to laugh at the mank in a tub comment though

My OH is a dairy fucker. He thinks the more butter, cream or full fat milk is in something the better. He is lovely and brings me toast in bed but there is so much butter on it there is still big globs sitting on the top as no more can sink in. I would feel mean to complain

I hardly use any butter in my sandwiches, DP says i only use it to slightly colour the bread. The only time you need lots of butter is on fresh crusty warm bread, yum!

YANBU

I like butter and I even sometimes like the evil spreads but in a sandwich then it shouldn't be on thick layers < bleugh>

She is very unreasonable to try and make you eat stuff you don't like for her benefit what a cheeky bitch! You should try doing the same with her if she ever comes round for dinner

If something is "mainly butter" then it is not butter. Butter should contain butter and salt. Something which is 58%/69% butter is not butter.
