Solve an argument - toast with choc spread or peanut butter doesn't need butter as well...

[ilove]

Or does it?

One of us says that if you're having toast and peanut butter, or toast with Nutella, you don't put butter on as well, IE under the PB or N

The other insists that you do and it tastes wrong without it...

The one who says no butter says that with butter it is useless extra fat and calories...

Nutella can be dry because it soaks into the bread. Not enough to stop it being dry though. Although I like it like that.

I am a huge peanut butter fab and eat it every day. But it can be drying in your mouth. Coupled with dry bread. Disaster

No to additional butter on all things! I appreciate I'm in the minority, but no to butter with PB, no to butter with nutella, no to butter with pate, no to butter with jam.

Peanut butter is vile but according to dh it needs butter with it on toast or sandwich.

No butter with Nutella, it tastes disgusting with butter. Nutella needs to be spread quite thickly so that it melts and goes all gooey, not a thin scraping that barely covers the toast (looking at you dh).

I always butter first whatever the topping. I like the salty butteryness with the chocolate.

You don't spoil the Nutella with butter - no way!
Peanut butter can either be on top of or without butter (sits on fence!)

Butter with everything.

The taste of butter GOES with everything so why wouldn't you have it WITH everything??

Toast with butter, peanut butter and nutella = snickers on toast. So tasty!!

Peanut butter - no butter
Nutella - no butter
Pate - definitely butter
jam- definitely butter

I cant see how no butter under your peanut butter can be dry, its called butter because its instead of plain butter isn't it? . Surely if you spread from room temperature its soft enough to not be dry. You shouldn't spread straight from the fridge for the best results though (personal opinion, don't know what it says on the jar) otherwise its not peanut butter, it's peanut butter slices/chunks, that would need a lot of tea/coffee to wash it down with I would have thought.

Nutella on toast needs butter to make it melty and delicious, that's proper salted unpasteurised butter, not some horrible mock concoction.

So, yes it is a health food, chocolate is one of your five-a-day, nuts are extremely good for you, and butter is now a health food as all the anti butter brigade have been proved wrong.
I'm smug here, as I've never given up butter in favour of nasty spreads.

Barbara Crumpets with spread!!!??? They should be reported to the real food police.

Only eat PB occasionally, and then with jam, unless it's PB ice cream.

Yes to butter with both

No to butter with Nutella. I have no idea about peanut butter as I don't like it. I'll need to watch next time the kids are eating it.

Not read thread , no need, butter always .

MiL would say you MUST have butter.

Personally, I like it when the PB or Nutella melts into the nooks and crannies on the toast.

I don't use butter, I use margarine and I wouldn't dream of having any kind of toast without margarine as a base layer. Not chocolate spread, not peanut butter and not marmite.

No butter for either from me. Or when using soft cheese.

ugh, no way.

2 slices of thick bread, lightly toasted, one slice spread with peanut butter (crunchy), the other spread with nutella, sandwiched together with sliced banana. Washed down with a cup of tea.

Now, if you were to go on and lightly butter the outer sides of the bread and then fry said sandwich, you would not only be correct but you'd be in food heaven...

I personally don't use butter with peanut butter. Peanut butter is the butter and then jam is the spread on top.

Can't stand Nutella.

With PB definitely butter, too claggy otherwise. Prob not with Nutella, as I think it would be too greasy with butter as well

Toast with any topping - butter
Sandwiches with any filling - butter
Any bready product ever - butter

Always butter.

I'll admit there are occasions where creme fraiche or mayo can be used in wraps and butter is perhaps not strictly necessary and I have been known to have cream tea without butter (though, I'd have it if there is the option) but generally speaking butter is always required.

I just tried toast with butter and peanut butter. Disgusting. Yuck. No. You're wrong.

No butter for either. The toast has already got a 'spread' on it, it doesn't need two? Well it doesn't in my world. I don't like chocolate so wouldn't eat Nutella but I often have peanut butter on dry toast.

No butter.

I say no butter, DH says yes butter.
(helpful)

I tend to still use butter with jam but not with any other spread.

No butter with anything put on toast or bread. Just extra unwanted calories IMO.
