Does anyone else eat butter on its own? Salted, obviously. It's so delicious.

Yes, I often have a tiny bit from the butter dish and sprinkle some sugar on!

Babyvenusplant · 02/06/2022 16:31

I can't even have lumpy butter on bread it makes me gag but I love the taste, I think its just the texture that gets me

I've never tried it but now I have a voice in my head saying 'go to the fridge and eat a spoon of butter, you know you want to'.

Yes-and now we live in Wales we have the delicious Shîrgar butter!

Anchor spreadable is the best, I use my finger to make sure I get every last bit out of the tub!

Fairislefandango · 02/06/2022 16:53

No. I love butter, but not on its own!

movemyshed · 02/06/2022 16:56

I eat it on its own. Salted or unsalted, I cut a little bit off the pack when it's nice and cold. Can't resist it.

If you're drinking and want to keep a flat stomach but don't want to get too drunk eat 2 tbsp of butter, salted preferred.

Medically speaking, how does that work? 🤔

Plump82 · 02/06/2022 17:04

The thoughts of this turns my stomach. I can't even stand butter on a sandwich or toast.

I dont know, but I'm going to try it 😂

Cheesechips · 02/06/2022 17:08

Yes I do this. So delicious! Salted only!

RyanAirVeteran · 02/06/2022 17:09

I love heavily toasted sourdough, left to go cold, with butter so thick you can see your teeth in it and then I sprinkle it with Maldon salt flakes, my cleaner nearly fainted when she saw the amount of salt, 😂but I pointed out it keeps me from keeling over, chronically low BP.

JAIL.

Blowyourowntrumpet · 02/06/2022 18:11

We used to have butter and sugar mixed when I was a child

Nothingiseverything · 02/06/2022 18:22

Eeeeeewoo, sometimes I have a bit of toast with a bit too much butter on it and it makes my stomach lurch and I can't face butter for weeks. Butter on its own, no.

MarianosOnHisWay · 02/06/2022 18:24

Great low carb snack on keto 😁

Scurryfunge12 · 02/06/2022 18:49

I love butter. I love generous servings on toast and in food, but on it’s own YABU. It’s very claggy and greasy alone 🤮

hullabaloney · 02/06/2022 18:54

Omg just come back to this and the replies 🤣

Glad I have some supporters in the house. French salted or Demi-sel only for me. The PP who says kerrygold is a monster but I suppose each to their own.

On its own without the bread is all the delicious and none of the carbs 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm thinking maybe the people saying no haven't ever tried really nice butter?

There is only one butter in the world.

Absolutely!

I often have a slice of butter with crackers...

Posh Cow smoked butter is gorgeous. They also do one with cinnamon. Both from M&S

I do and so do my children. It's delicious and actually a tsp is not that calorific at all. If you're drinking and want to keep a flat stomach but don't want to get too drunk eat 2 tbsp of butter, salted preferred.

What?? It keeps your stomach flat and stops you from getting too pissed? Is this real?
