To put butter on my crackers (with cheese)?

[FannyAndMoonFace]

I've just made myself a late night snack of assorted crackers, lots of salted butter and slices of crumbly extra mature cheddar.

DH said I've completely ruined it by adding butter and said (in a loving way) that I have lost the plot!

AIBU? It's the way I've always done it and when my dad packed my school lunches I remember fondly he would from time to time put a thick slab of cheddar in between two Jacobs crackers with butter on both - as if the cracker were the bread in a heavenly sort of cheese sandwich - and wrap it up in cling film as a treat.

No no no no, cheese n crackers do not need butter!

Butter, salty as possible, is essential. Unless you are having Dairylea.

There absolutely needs to be butter to stick the cheese on!

Yanbu. In fact I quite like a buttered Jacobs cream cracker without the cheese...

Yes yes to the butter coming through the tiny holes

Omg of course butter!! Cheese and crackers with butter on is what I'm looking forward to most about xmas!

Butter is essential.You need it to stick the cheese on and to stop a really crisp and crumbly cracker going everywhere.
It is also too dry without the butter and the combination is out of this world.

Not only do I have butter with my cheese and crackers I quite often add marmite as well.

I wouldn't add butter, no.

But I used to!

yanbu, crackerwheats with butter and salt are to die for. Also partial to a buttered jacobs.

I'm not allowed butter any more. But butter! Got to have butter on your crackers and cheese.

Cheese is a special foodstuff and there are rituals.
I shudder to think of someone eating unmelted cheese without butter.

He’s a fucking heathen Farawaytreelady
Re-educate or run.

Butter with cheese and crackers? I’m sorry what? Why are people agreeing, what sort of twilight zone have I entered, scary perverted people.

Are you the type of sickos who have butter in sandwiches?

Butter makes everything taste better

Boswell I think paying close attention to that "riddle" has addled your mind. You're clearly not thinking straight.

As a child I called cream crackers 'butter biscuits', because that is how I had them.

I know bad form, but have you seen the other thread with butter war- discussion happening on AIBU 🤣

But yes, crackers need butter, only exception is if having them with peanut butter (of course)

There's another butter AIBU!?

It depends. Does he think butter on the crackers is weird or frivolous. If it's the latter definitely ltb.

My exh believed heating up ready brek was frivolous.

LTB = Love The Butter

I’m with you on the Jacobs crackers & Cheddar = butter essential

Whereas Digestives & Cheddar = no butter, but I’d love apple slices, please.

Soft cheeses require no butter (always agog at the people who butter cream cheese sandwiches, for instance!) and some crackers go better with some cheeses.

But your DH is just missing out, basically.

Christmas 1978

My mum was ill in bed. My dad, entrusted with Christmas lunch, gave me and my brother a plate of Ryvita with cheddar. No butter.

It was like trying to swallow a slab of fatty grit. Thank God I had the Grease album to compensate.

You need butter.

I grew up during butter rationing. It is now the absolute everyday luxury.

I’m with your dh.

Butter? If you have a cheese board, do you ask for butter?

Butter + Smoked Salmon + Blue cheese 👍

But..... it has to be the hovis digestive biscuits, crackers are a poor substitute.

@EdWinchester if that cheese board includes crackers then yes, yes I do!
