[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? |

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. Mary |

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 ........ |

health or weight conscious. 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. Peter |

You don't think that makes you just a little bit biased ? ;o) 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 |

... 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. |

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

No, skip the butter then top the peanut butter [1] with Marmite. [1] Real unsalted crunchy peanut butter, the sort where you have to stir the oil back in when you open a new jar, not the nasty stuff full of emulsifiers and other chemicals. -- Mike Clarke |

Without.
If there's no marmalade I do enjoy using that "I can't believe it's not margarine" stuff. Comes from cows, apprently. |

Oh, thanks for reminding me of that :-) Mary who loves the image of the King going downstairs on the banister I was given the book when I was six (the book is "Now We Are Six") and loved it. The bit that always puzzled me at that age was why it said "milk for his porringer", I was sure they had spelt porridge wrong, oh for those far off days of innocence. There is also a poem about a nasty illness called Alice that Christopher Robin went down with. ;o) -- Keith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) |
