Dry toast, really?

[supercue]

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

They serve it butter side down because hot toast on a plate causes condensation. Put the buttered side down and the butter keeps a lot of that moisture out of the bread. That way you still get a crispy texture on top, instead of a buttery side and a slightly watery side.

As for the eggs, for me it depends. Properly done scrambled eggs made with a lot of cream, I wouldn't expect butter.

Bore - if you fry it surely its fried bread not toast.
Pate on toast no butter. But my favourite is toast, salted butter, marmite and peanut butter

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

What sort of twisted mind and tastebuds do you have Maid?

As Spam has so rightly rightly said MAXIMUM BUTTER. Butter on toast, butter in eggs. Lots and lots of butter.

AIBU to really fancy scrambled egg on highly buttered toast after reading this thread?

ou are BU Skye

It should be on HEAVILY buttered toast

I dislike butter and always ask for it 'dry' if eating out. The sky hasn't fallen

Au contraire tartan. We now know who caused that hle in the ozone layer.

Butter side down

What sort of monsters are we dealing with here?

Seems - The best ice-cream is awash with fat.

And no-ne over the age of 10 needs to eat jelly.

some icky spread

You have contradicted your own sandwich- related argument Mommy

"some icky spread" is obviously NOT butter!

redshoe yes, fried bread is not toast but I was talking about toast in the first line of my post and bread in the second.

Pate on toast is also enhanced by butter first, imo

It's fair enough to serve the toast dry with a pat (or preferably three) on the side, not everyone wants butter on their toast the sad deluded fools but it's the very height of unreasonableness to dump stuff on top of the toast before you've had the chance to butter it.

Maid I can just about come to terms with people who don't like butter and never butter their bread at all - if you don't like something you don't like it. But someone who admits to using butter but chooses to eat dry toast in circumstances where butter is deemed unnecessary or excessive is just plain outrageous.

Toast must have butter and peanutbutter. captainwarbeck strongly advocate Ltb

But...

Why would anybody use butter and peanutbutter? Or butter and nutella?

I do like nutbutters, but isn't one kind of butter enough?

I do see why people use butter under jam or marmelade (although I don't. I love it when the juice of bramble jam, for example, soaks the bread...)

Noooooo! Butter in the scrambled egg, not on the toast!

But worse still is fake butter on toast. It makes it awful and slimy. I'd rather no spread than fake spread. I would however butter my toast with egg.
