Butter on croissants (lighthearted)

[Boogers]

For the last 2 weeks DD has gone to her grandparents' house for breakfast with a pack of croissants which I didn't think anything of; they have jam, they have marmalade, all good with a croissant.

Cue me asking DD how she wanted her croissant this morning, to which she said 'sliced in half with butter on each half, like how grandma and grandad do it'.

WTAF?! Who puts butter on a croissant? It's like smearing Marmite on it! Who, just who, does that?! DD apparently loves it, but she loves butter so I'm in a no-win situation here.

Am I being unreasonable or is DD?

I used to request tablespoons of margarine to lick as a playtime treat.

I'm a butterer.

Have you never tried croissant and marmite? It's surprisingly good...

I'm a big fan of croissants and marmite, also croissants with ham and cheese or cheese and mushrooms. I'm much more into savoury pastries than sweet.

I butter them too - generally don't bother cutting them, just shove the butter in the flat side, occasionally slicing through and smearing some inside too. Then I add apricot jam or orange marmalade...

Desperately want croissants now!

Butter on croissants here too. The real problem is the croissants you get in the UK especially the ones that are made with oil and not butter.

Nutella on croissants are great and it turns them into pain-au-chocolats.

It really doesn't.

Butter on croissants is the equivalent of eating a lump of lard. Far too much fat for a regular breakfast.

Let's face it ilostit croissants even without butter are hardly health food!

I butter them so YABU!
A long time ago on my honeymoon, I asked for butter for my croissant and was told...' There's butter in them!' This became a standing joke about anything with butter in (?scone)
Am from up North so have some very common habits !

I put jam on mine no butter.
I often make them myself and they are buttery enough

Actually, a block of butter is better for you than most breakfast cereals.

I put butter on mine ( not that we have them often sadly ) - warmed, tear a bit off, butter on the white bit inside . :)

I always have butter and jam! Break it into pieces at the joins, iykwim, dab on butter and jam. I eat them about three times a year, am really not worried about the amount of butter!

They should be eaten plain but dipped into coffee or hot chocolate.

Not sure that would catch on as a healthier alternative

I eat them as they come

Adding butter is like having butter with lemon curd (otherwise known as lemon butter...) I have unfortunately witnessed both

Yabu butter always go on crossiants then jam or cheese etc

Ick, why would you ruin them by putting sticky sweet stuff on them? Butter all the way!

Might be the antidote to the obesity crisis. (Bloody sugar lobby.)

Jam, marmalade and Nutella are wrong.
Butter is delicious, on its own is ok if the croissant is decent.

Got to have butter and jam in. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. If they are not too flakey (drooling a bit now) cut them lengthwise then butter and jam them. If they are quite flakey butter + jam the bottom.

Are you joking? Of course YABU.

Toasted croissants with real salted butter on them. Jam or marmalade is just sullying the already perfect, there's just no need.

I butter a croissant and then add jam, or another version I like is tuna and tomato.

Croissant with nutella however does NOT need butter (that would be madness).

Croissants are pure butter so with added butter and two weeks worth at that I'd be giving her something else....

Ick to putting sweet stuff on, jam etc and as for Nutella, well that's a good croissant ruined. Soft cheese or butter only. Or on its own.
