After 60 years on this planet I've discovered something monumental about toast!

If you leave it cool for 30 seconds and then put the butter on it tastes better cos the butter doesn't melt and you can actually taste the butter!
It's probably healthier as well cos you need less butter.
Mind blown!

YABU - Toast with melted butter is yummy

YANBU - OMG : Get OP a knighthood for services to toast

Another for cold toast and butter 😋

I adore cold toast and butter. I live in a warm climate though so it can take time for my toast to reach appropriate spreading temperature. To speed things up, I sometimes pop my fresh slices of toast into the freezer for a minute or so. After a minute, I pull the toast out of the freezer and proceed with the liberal application of butter.

Of course she does 😅 🙌

That’s how you are meant to eat a chocolate digestive apparently.

I like cold toast with cold butter and marmite. Sometimes I put it in a brown paper bag and eat it in the park. I eat it slowly because it is marvellous.

You can never think too much about toast! Never mind about hot or warm, what about burnt or well done?

THIS is the kind of thread that makes this site worth using. I am going to cool my toast first tomorrow and see how...

She is a toast Goddess!

I’ve always been team cold toast before butter. I also prop it up to make sure it is nice and crunchy and not steamy.
mmmmmm delightful. Hotel toast is my fave for this reason.

I have recently learned the BEST way to deal with butter and toast.

Basically pop a slice of homemade (or proper baker's) white bread in the toaster so it goes lightly brown rather than burnt (the mass-produced tasteless supermarket white sliced bread is useless in this case).

Once it's toasted, while you're waiting for it to cool, either fry an egg or heat up some baked beans (on the hob, not the microwave!) to serve up on top. Once the egg/beans are ready, spread full-fat butter on the toast then top it with the egg or beans...

The butter then gently melts adding a generous touch of tasty luxury to the egg or the beans. Nectar from above!

I'm 63 and I've known this for years!

Ilike my toast cold as well, with some marmalade on or butter but not both. Also cut into triangles. Lovely!

My grandad taught me to place my toast in a pyramid to cool before putting inch thick proper butter on.

There's something exquisite about triangular toast.😋

I dont know about toast, but after 40 years on the planet im ready to get off it.

I so agree with you! I like my toast to be crispy, otherwise its just.... warm bread. If you butter it too soon it just goes soggy. Yuck.

YANBU, and this also applies to crumpets. Leave them to cool a little before buttering, they’re so much nicer.

I think you are really me…. I love very cold toast with very cold thick butter and marmite .

Hot toast, so much better it doesn't stand a chance of all melting, sprinkle of salt 😍

Can't stand cooled toast. The hotter the better.

I leave my toast to go pretty much cold before spreading the butter on. I hate soggy toast even though I used to love hot butted toast. I find I use much less butter too, so in a way healthier for me ☺️

Yup, I've always called this "hotel toast" to myself as it comes in a toast rack already slightly cooled and somehow always tastes better!

@UserName00747 - I voted YABU because the thought of eating butter that isn’t melted is utterly vile to me. Having said that people should be able to eat how they like it so congratulations on your discovery 😁

I have always had cold toast.

When my dad wasn't eating very much at the end of his life, he did fancy a bit of toast sometimes. But particularly as he was finding everything a bit unpalatable and dry, he insisted that I should spread the butter right up to the edge/corners, not missing any bit of toast surface. I was probably rather blasé about my butter-spreading before then. Nowadays, six years after he died, I still think of him whenever I butter toast. Properly!
