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

Jul 04, 2005 76 Replies

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?



[O/T] & crossposting, what a splendid combination ;-(

Covers all bases then!

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

I'll vote for wacko

(Good grief, I replied! Must be jacko too.)

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.

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.

Peter

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

Mary

Are we still on the subject of toast?

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.

Well, that *is* the subject of the thread ...

To me anything with horseradish could only be improved by the addition of mamrmalade:-)

Mary

Oh, sorry, no.

I'll go and have myself whipped.

Mary

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

Here was me thinking that this is usenet..... :-)

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

Peter

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

Mary is that with cream or marmalade :0)

Sorry. Again.

It's what's produced by urgently being called for lunch.
