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?

    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.
