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? No

Peanut butter? Yes

Referring to the opening post and not having read the thread:
Toast with peanut butter or Nutella (urgh! Why would you???) does need butter. Toast with peanut butter and butter is absolute heaven. Toast with jam also needs butter.
Confession:
In the 1980s, when my then-husband was horrible, I would put jam on his toast but no butter. I always told him the butter had soaked in. I didn't like him, I didn't like making toast for him when ordered and I didn't want to waste butter on him and I didn't want him to enjoy it. I also would only cook boiled potatoes as those were the only kind he didn't like.
We did divorce, he had two further wives and he died last year. He was an abusive bastard (with me, if not with the others) and he didn't deserve butter.

Is it just me or does the word 'butter' look wrong after you read it so many times? Like its not a real word?

Peanut butter... Why on earth does anyone eat that stuff?
Nutella, no butter
Pate, yes or no depending on the toast and pate.
Honey, no butter... but no way on white sliced
Crumpets lots of butter and messy fingers when you eat them
Bacon, fried crispy on white bread with tomato sauce..
Cheese, on toasted bread with butter and marmite then grilled..
Croissants, warm and fresh with strawberry jam...

Diet the week after next

Quote from movie Julie & Julia

I cooked artichokes with hollandaise sauce which is melted butter that's been whipped into a frenzy with egg yolks until it's died and gone to heaven, and let me say this: is there anything better than butter? Think it over: every time you taste something that's delicious beyond imagining and you say, "What is in this?", the answer is always going to be, Butter. The day there's a meteorite heading toward the earth and we have thirty days to live, I am going to spend it eating butter. Here's my final words on the subject, you can never have too much, butter.

Doesn't need butter

Yes to butter with everything, except Nutella.

And I don't eat any of those shit fake butter-type spreads. Only proper salty butter, from a butter dish, will do.

My DH ex-wife used to buy Flora Light faints, he still talks about how he survived using it for so long.

I only eat Nutella on a salty breadstick or off my finger so no to butter there.

Peanut butter definitely needs butter or it's too dry.

I never have butter with anything id consider a condiment. Jam, marmalade, pickle etc. Will put butter on a cheese cracker if there is only cheese on there but not if there's relish or equivalent.

Pate is definitely not a condiment and therefore requires lots of the stuff

Haha! I had this exact same argument with DH very, very recently, in which I almost, inadvertently, made him vomit on the spot by mentioning that I always add butter to toast before Nutella- it is alien to me to do otherwise. It's like eating a dry cracker with some chocolate on to me without!
Same with peanut butter I'm afraid!

There are few things that aren't improved by adding butter. None of that disgusting spread crap though.

I always butter then add nut stuff, cashew preferably!

Yes to proper butter with everything.

I used to do this yes...

With both

but now with Sunpat no added sugar crunchy PB and marmite on top I don't find the need for extra butter.

But I do like butter with golden syrup and marmite (separately obviously!).

Yes to both: peanut butter definitely and nutella sometimes. Only a very thin layer with both though!

Butter on all toast and sandwiches, regardless of topping or filling. It is yummy with and lacking without.

Dh still asks me if I want butter on bacon or sausage sandwiches (we have lived together for 15 years!) as he is repulsed by the idea and is waiting for me to change my mind.

No to butter!*
I only eat butter on hot toast or baked potato as only like it melted otherwise is just horrible slimy crap ruining Nutella/ham/pate/sandwiches in general. I know I'm in the minority aka weird
(*Butter/fake butter)

Not with Nutella, definitely with peanut butter and also definitely with pate lol

So I asked my better half and he thinks butter with pb or Nutella is wrong! But wants to know opinions with jam?

Definitely no butter with peanut butter - the clue is in the name!
I never have it with Nutella either.
Now, peanut butter and Nutella together - deeeeelicious!

peanut butter- No extra butter
Chocolate spread - no extra butter
Pate- Hell yes loads of extra butter

Peanut butter - yes
Nutella - I say no, but have never eaten chocolate spread (I'm 51😳)
Pate - yes, thickly spread.

No butter with either, but jam on the PB to stop claggyness.

Butter with both. I would argue that Pate is okay on dry thin toasts usually as a starter (when i am eating 70s!), but also as a snack it doesn't need bread and a slice of hard butter and a slice of course pate is delicious (when i'm low carbing).

I'm on the side of butter here. I always butter toast or bread before putting anything on it.
