Trivial disagreement with DH about how he puts spread on toast

My DH spends time getting the spread (marmite, peanut butter, jam etc) right to the very edge of the toast. I think he is being unreasonable because there's no way of picking up the toast by the edges without getting spread on your fingers. He says he's not because this way every bit of toast has delicious spread on it.

I leave a margin of approx half a cm around the edges, so you can pick up the toast without getting dirty fingers. Particularly important when you have young children who tend to touch everything with sticky fingers before you ahev chance to clean them! DH says my way is so wrong because you miss out on spread.

Am I being unreasonable here?

When my dad was very ill before he died, he couldn't eat very much and everything seemed very dry to him. He could manage the odd slice of toast with butter- and he would ask for the butter to go right to the edges. So I always do it like that now, and think my dad was right. 😥😅

My DH gets so annoyed at my spread free border (for clean finger purposes, not laziness or incompetence as he suggests). So now he does his toast, and I do mine. Agreeing to disagree is the way forward!
