[O/T] POLL: Marmalade on toast with or without butter?
 

What's going on? :-)

So many of the people I meet these days in the UK put marmalade on
their toast with no butter.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned or something because I put butter (margarine
actually) on toast as well as marmalade.

Now you might think I am wacko to ask about this but ....



.... do you put butter/marge with your marmalade on toast?

Covers all bases then!

Btw, my answer would be "with butter". Definitely. Too dry without.

I wouldn't use a butter substitute for ANYTHING!

The best bread (I make it) deserves the best butter (Welsh, 3% salt) and the
best marmalade (I make it).

I suspect that people who don't separate their bread and marmalade are
health or weight conscious.

... do you put butter/marge with your marmalade on toast?

Always with butter. I imagine it would be too dry without.

I even put butter on when having peanut butter.

I'm reasonably health and weight conscious and I'm with you - I wouldn't use
a butter substitute for anything. All my baking and spreading requirements
are fulfilled using butter - I wouldn't dream of buying marge - full of all
those nasty additives!

Nik - I still haven't managed to get this breadmaking stuff right ........

I'm guessing you meant "butter" in that sentence. Try as I might, I just
can't imagine a roast beef + horseradish sandwich tasting that nice with
marmalade.

Me too. It needs the extra lubrication. Bread, butter, peanut butter, golden
syrup ... bliss!

but peter you could dip it in your cuppa ;0)

Without.

If there's no marmalade I do enjoy using that "I can't believe it's not
margarine" stuff. Comes from cows, apprently.

To me anything with horseradish could only be improved by the addition of

With a little help from Man but certainly not as much as the junk made in

Mamrmalade? Is that some sort of orange flavour stuff that women
breast-feed to their babies?

No, just experienced over forty odd years.

The other week I had some 'toast' made from a piece of something which came
from a plastic bag and labelled 'Hovis', spread with something greasy which
was contained in a plastic tub and coated with a yellow, jelly-like, sweet
and otherwise flavourless substancefrom a jar labelled Olde Fashioned
Marmalade - or something of that ilk.

Two bites from said anointed piece of whatever it was convinced me that it
certainly wasn't bread as I know it. As for the 'marmalade' element - blech.

Mary

ewwww marmalade.

Bananas only create my bliss when dipped into soured cream ... oh, drool ...

But thinking about it, golden syrup spread on unbuttered bread and left
overnight to go hard THEN spread (thickly) with butter is very good.

Hello Mary. It would seem that the only way we can get you to post to
ukf+d is for someone to cross-post:) I hope you are well. We miss you.

How can this discussion on marmalade with/without butter have got this far
with no mention of the poem "The King's Breakfast" by A A Milne "...many
people nowadays like marmalade instead...".

I don't allow marge in the house. It is vile chemical gunk.

Always butter on toast with marmalade.
And butter on toast with Marmite (that's another can of worms
opened...).
And butter on toast soldiers for dipping in a soft-boiled egg.

Always in the order of Toast, Olivio, topping unless fried then it's bare
but the oil makes up for it.

Personally I love Toast, Olivio and Ginger.

Butter.

100% natural, and far better tasting than any other fat. I'd go with
unsalted if adding a sweet topping like marmalade, jam or (the best) Honey.
Salted for a savoury topping.

I'd rather eat the toast dry than put margarine on it.
