We are having a family breakfast and the debate came up. Do you butter the toast before putting on the peanut butter? Or do you just put the peanut butter straight on your toast?
Peanut butter straight to toast.
The other way seems decadent.
I will occasionally butter one piece, peanut butter the other, and have a truly decadent toasted peanut butter sandwich.
The peanut butter2 sandwich
Get a load of Mr Fancypants over here, with his multiple kinds of butter. Two toppings on one toast?? I want that life.
The world is a vast place. Dream bigger, sweet Denji.
Give me back my super-toast!
I must be getting to that age where I no longer understand references in the wild.
Chainsaw Man’s mc is named Denji. He grew up excruciatingly poor, and so, at the beginning of the story, his dreams were very humble things like eating toast with decent toppings and hugging a girl at least once before he died. He dreams bigger and bigger as things go on, but it always stays comically simple because he’s a simple kind of guy.
manga spoilers ahead
His current stated dream is to have sex and the one person that wants to do it with him might have just lost control of her body as the devil within her reattained her full power. But his real dream (he is just too foolish to realize it) is to have a chosen family, which he has also been intentionally boxed out of a few times over now. So tragic. Much sad. ;(
Wait till you try cashew butter
Or pistachio butter
I initially thought you meant do you put peanut butter on the bread first before you toast it
I can’t describe the emotions I was feeling
confusion
That was certainly part of what I was feeling

Lightly butter the bread before toasting. That’ll help brown the surface more deliciously.
Peanut butter after toasted.
What if it starts a fire? Need an answer soonish!
I think you probably need a toaster oven to do this

Yes, with peanut butter
I don’t put butter on at all because I never had the thought of butter and peanut butter flavors going well together. Just peanut butter and frequently some honey stirred in a little bit so it doesn’t drip off.
Butter goes on before jam or jelly when I do it that way.
I didn’t realize there was people that put butter on their toast before putting peanut butter on. Like, I can see it with jam because the intent is for the butter to hold the jam on. But peanut butter is already sticky, so I never really thought of it.
I disagree! The butter greatly enhances the flavor moreso than keeping the jam on. If anything it allows the jam to slide off more easily.
this may depend on the jam. I found when I make homemade jam that if I don’t have a butter bottom, it ends up gliding all over the toast and doesn’t spread as easy/doesn’t stick
It depends entirely on the jelly/ jam and consistency of such. Different temperatures will have different results as well. It pretty much comes down to how wet your spread is.
the intent is for the butter to hold the jam on
???
butter, famously the stuff used to lubricate fat children who have become stuck in another object
we don’t use a toxic, heart attack causing substance made with cruelty, violence, and atrocity to make the jam stick. we do it because it’s an addictive substance, and the fat it adds makes things taste good.
I only pair jam/jelly with buttered toast. Butter AND peanut butter seems like you’re just adding calories for no reason (can you even really taste the butter under peanut butter?).
When I was an exchange student in Australia in the late '90s, I remember the family I stayed with with would add butter to EVERY sandwich they made, regardless of what the other contents were. Ham and cheese with mayo? Butter first. Turkey club? Add butter. Just cheese? Also butter. Adding any other condiments to your sandwich, like mustard? There better be butter added first.
I dunno if it’s just an American thing to NOT add butter to every piece of bread depending on the meal, or what.
It depends on the peanut butter. The brand I like is so thick it’s hard to stir, so it tends to be oiliest at the top of the jar. When it’s like that, there’s no need to add more oil by buttering. As the PB level gets lower in the jar it also gets drier, so there’s eventually a threshold past which butter will make it better.
Hell yeah!
If you use real aka crunchy peanut butter rather than smooth heavily processed, the butter makes it easier to spread
You can make smooth peanut butter without heavily processing it. Just leave it in the blender a little longer.
Butter, peanut butter, hot honey, flaky sea salt.
no I toast it first
