BUTTER DISHES

[Rocktheboot]

Show us your butter dishes!!

mine is really boring. I'll find a picture

@Scooople does it fit a full par in without trimming?

I’ve got several lid-less ones too, that met the tiled kitchen floor

Obviously ceramic sisters under the skin to all my lidless teapots, indoorvoice

toast needs to be buttered when it's cooled down so that the butter stays unmelted. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE!!

Au contraire you dairy-product philistine!

Butter must be applied to red-hot toast, so that melts into the bread producing a delicious soft squidgyness.

This is particularly important if the toast is going to be a vehicle for scrambled eggs.

I have been googling! Who knew there were such beautiful butter dishes!

Mine is a tacky plastic cow one from Aldi....

There's always the option of buttering the toast hot and then adding a cold layer after, I suppose.

That borders on perverted Errol

Or you could simply melt the butter...
I'm not too much of a butter person.
but it's supposed to melt on anything that's warm / toasted.
And there ought to be a cold layer of it's more of a sandwich situation.... At least imo.

(a toast and egg situation shouldn't involve any butter, btw... )

What sort of person are you that you could even think such a thing, Cheese? There's a special place in hell . . .

I probably would be if I actually ate double buttered toast, I was just saying it was a possibility.

I agree with hot buttering being essential for scrambled eggs, but don't mind the inevitable cold buttering of hotel toast for marmalade.

@ErrolTheDragon I think we are sisters under the skin.

Mine is very plain, but I like it. I remember the one SoundofSilence has from my childhood (1970s!). I absolutely love cornberry’s butter dish - it’s beautiful.

I use a small dish like this so I am only keeping a small amount out of the fridge at one time.

I am liking some of the butter dishes here though. I might commit to a full size one.

Can't bear spreads.

I've got this fish one from the RNLI.

You can buy the lovely whale one from the RNLI too if you want to support the lifeboats 😊

I do love a butter dish. This is mine! Reminds me of what I'll look like if I eat too much butter.

You all realise some of us may be doxxed on the evidence of our butter dishes...

...except that the consumer frenzy kicked off here will cause all but the most unique dishes to be replicated across numerous households. It's I am Spartacus all over again

love @DdJames belly guy - brilliant!

Good old Emma Bridgewater ❤️ 🌟

As of today my search for a stunt butter dish commences. Why didn’t I think of it before? Thanks pp with such an item.

Oh and toast racks avoid the hideousness of soggy toast. The alternative is to balance slices upright slantwise, but they often fall down.

@SchadenfreudePersonified

Adding butter never even occurred to me, tbh...
