Dry toast, really?

[supercue]

To expect the toast to be buttered if you order scrambled eggs on toast?

Viques err jelly and ice cream!?

"Butter serves only to moisten toast."

No, water could do that. But that wouldn't give a lovely, creamy, salty, melted buttery taste. Diet, what diet?

I add butter into my scrambled eggs, just as they are starting to set.

I have my scrambled eggs very moist.

To make matters worse, DH was happily chomping away on his Full English, and offered me a hash brown by way of compensation.

KingLooie butter? Meh, and salt just tastes of salt. You can certainly cook without it, if you're brave enough....otherwise you could just eat salt Oh, hell, go the whole hog and start a dairy! In a salt mine.

Buttered toast is vile, so I'd be happy. But I'd also be surprised unless I'd specifically asked for my toast to be beautifully dry- I'd definitely expect it to be buttered as standard.

No, I'm with you - there is NOT An EDIBLE THING ON EARTH that can't be improved by adding salted butter.

Stop being all reasonable and trying to make out it's about personal taste or "it takes all sorts to make a world". We are talking about right and wrong here

No!

I hate butter and every other milky, creamy dairy product so butter on anything would make it inedible for me

Mind you, I make my own scrambled eggs as I use only eggs, no cream, no milk.

Occasionally I'll buy a sandwich from the local baker, but they know me there and always make me a lovely non-buttered or margarined sandwich

definitely send it back. Outrageous behaviour.

The only topping that doesn't require the toast to be buttered is grilled tomatoes

I'm now fantasising about thick cut white bread with hot salty chips in it, melting the butter into the bread in a lipidtastic orgy of yellow deliciousness.

FZZT - oops, drooled on the keyboard, caused short circuit.

You can't bait us non-salt and non-butter eaters, we are too busy enjoying the real taste of food.

Butter serves only to moisten toast. If toast has beans or eggs on it, it is sufficiently moist. It therefore requires no further moistening with butter.

Exactly. I don't think butter is needed? But I do like dry, whole grain toast. it's awesome with eggs... ;) Or with eggs and marmite

(DH introducerd me to that. MArmite toast apparently reminds him of his school days. Although he eats it with white toast...)

Ooh I dunno, Judge Adora - if I had grilled tomatoes on toast without butter it would, of course, be edible. But it could certainly be improved by the addition of doctor-snubbing amounts of butter.

Now I want that too.

Butter serves only to moisten toast??? What blasphemy is this?! It ALSO serves to drench said toast with loveliness.

I wouldn't eat it if it arrived buttered!

I prefer mayonnaise to butter, sorry. Moist mayonnaise.

They should either ask if you want butter, or give you butter so you can put your own on.

What blasphemy is this?! It ALSO serves to drench said toast with loveliness.

But... that's what egg is for!! The scrambled eggs infuse the toast with loveliness.

They eggs' loveliness doesn't need to be mixed with butter.

Urgh!!

Anyhow, my favourite toast is wholewhat, dry toast. With a sunny side up or poached egg. And maybe with marmite or tomatoe paste. But just toast and egg is enough... Why use butter? for what ?

FOR BUTTERINESS

Never ever have butter on toast when there is something else on it (beans/egg/spaghetti hoops etc.) No need for it.

Then again I rarely have butter. Sometimes go months without it, because I rarely eat bread. Maybe half a loaf a month tops.

FOR BUTTERINESS

why not just order buttery toast in this case? Or toast with butter and scrambled eggs?

It does depend on the kind of scrambled eggs, I suppose.

Some of you - I name no names - seem to be posting just in order to say moist.
That's shameful.
I mean, moist, I ask you!
MOIST!
Please, enough with the moist!
Stop moisting!

Right.

If the scrambled eggs aren't moist then I see why you may want butter.

But in that case I'd be upset about the dry eggs. Not the lack of butter...

Butter, lovely lovely butter. Butter and cheese makes everything better.

Scrambled eggs = moist and delicious
Scrambled eggs on toast = crunchy, moist and delicious
Scrambled eggs on buttered toast = EVEN BETTER

Emphasis on moist because I know people like that word.
