While on the subject if your butter is hard, spread it from the bottom(straight edge) to the top(round edge) as this is the way bread rises in the oven and is less likely to tear.

As toast always falls butter side down I would highly recommend buttering it on the other side.

Immediately and real butter. None of that other muck.

Immediately of course!! With real butter – and it has to be spread all the way to the edges! I know some people who just half-scrape it around the middle so then the edges and corners are all dry – yeeuch!

Immediately of course. And I have to comment on the calibre of those who wait if that’s the best job they can do. The state of the buttering of the toast in
Picture 2. I’m glad Susan Daly isn’t in today to see that mess. Shocking altogether!!!

I just had my lunch, and I’m getting hungry just thinking about fresh batch bread toasted and buttered with real butter right away – toast for dinner tonight

has to be fully melted then it’s the tastiest

Why would anyone wait? Cold toast and hard butter – no thanks

Where is ‘D’ ? Someone else butters it for me.

Buttered toast,one of the most homely,simple and least appreciated snacks. There’s just nothing like it. Great in the morning,still yummy for snacking on during the day and comfort food in the evening. Bloody love toast

All depends on the butter state!

Butter rock hard from fridge -> Hot toast
Butter soft from butter dish -> Slightly cooled toast

None of that fake stuff either.

I butter mine before i eat it.

It’s just not right to wait…also I usually have nuttella…& it goes all melty mmmmm

Just barely warm toast, butter should cover all way round hate when it dosent get into the corners…

Let it cool down. Then thick swipes of butter so you can feel the contrast between cool butter and warm toast. Mmmmmm!!!

So if you let the toast fall. . .it always lands on the buttered side down…and if you let a cat fall from a height. . .it always lands on its paws
So if you stick a piece of toast (buttered side out)to a cats back and throw it out a window..
Does it just spin around in the air???

Think I’ll have toast with lots of butter, jam & a cup of tea!

Maybe next weeks question should be Toast single sided or double sided?

What about buttering immediately, let it cool, and then another layer? And some jam?

Immediately!

How long till the miserable gobshites come along with their ”who cares” comment….

where’s the cold toast and butter as thick as cheese slices?

Ah but the real questions remains…… Which butter kerrygold style “real” butter in foil or “alternative” butter ie dairygold from the tub??

Have to wave it in the air for a few seconds, then thin coating of butter and lash on the marmite! MMMMMM!

Straight away with real butter and for good measure lines cut into it to help with the softening.

Cut crusts off, toast medium, lots real Irish butter, jelly marmalade – delicious, enjoy!

NEVER! Butter is 100% saturated fat. Not good for the body. Toast itself is carcinogenic. High GI Idex too. Porridge is a better choice. Oats are good for you, low GI and the magic ingredient Beta Glucan.

I don’t butter my toast. I eat my butter on top of other, yummier things. Toast is cardboard.

Where’s option D? i.e that butter is one of the most disgusting and vile tasting things in the world and I’d never ruin my toast with it?!

Hate butter! :P
