How do you butter your bread?

[Akuma]

An explanation on the title in a moment.

A little bit about myself:
My English is quite terrible, so I apologise in advance.
It's my only language, but I've always had trouble with language.

I'm currently studying Computer Science, though I'd rather Art or Psychology.

I think I fit the INTP profile, though being diagnosed with depression I don't know how much that would affect my personality, plus the possibility of deluding myself into thinking that I am one and I'm apprehensive about whether I even have depression.

I can emote happiness for friends, so I could say I'm an INFP, but I couldn't comfort my friends if they're sad or say I missed someone.

Anyway about title:
I take a long time doing things like making food, I take about 30 seconds to a minutes to butter a slice of bread, you guys, take your time doing mundane things slow? I guess I need practice.
(This isn't a euphemism.)

Hey, Akuma.
I don't butter my bread actually,that's quite lots of trouble to me
And if I want to eat the buttered ones,I buy them from the bakery

Everyone knows that the best possible way to butter bread is to melt the butter in the microwave, pour it onto the bread, then put it in the freezer until it solidifies again.

Sounds more like you like toking it up. Don't worry I won't tell your secret, because I'm a toker myself.

But butter adds special something to a piece of bread that even jam couldn't replace, like lowering your cholesterol.

A very creative way to butter bread, I feel an experiment coming on..

And I'm totally trying it.

Well that was unexpected.

 

[digital angel]

What kind of bread and what kind of butter should we use for our experiment? Let's try them all.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

Uh, choked on my sandwich there.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

Thank you, I was a little intimidated to post in these forums.
There are a lot of long-winded debates in these threads and I usually don't have conversations.
I just sneak in, lay some poop and leave.

Marvellous buttering technique

 

[Cognisant]

I built a robot to do my buttering.

You may have noticed I am a robot, that's not a coincidence.

 

[C.J_Finn]

With a knife.

I can only use the butter that comes in one of those plastic buckets though. If there's only a stick of butter around then I won't bother.

 

[severus]

I take a long time to butter bread, too. I have to get it perfectly even and right to the edges. It's manageable... but tacos on the other hand! They're always cold by the time I get everything on there.

 

[crippli]

I always thought it was a shame to ruin lovely cream to make butter. And cheese just keeps so much longer and tastes soooo much better. And for frying fleshfat works fine too.

But if I do butter the bread, it will be mostly symbolic. I may even pretend to butter the bread, while actually not applying butter, or just a tiny tiny layer. Done discretely of course, so the deception isn't noticed.

 

[Oedipus]

I generally focus on getting as much butter on as possible and totally destroy the bread in teh process. Toast is far more robust.

 

[Cheeseumpuffs]

Well first, I prefer margarine to butter, and the time I take depends. The hotter the bread/roll/whatever is then it melts faster. When it does this then I generally take longer because I prefer it to be more in the solid form rather than soaking into my bread.

This is my buttering process. Hope it was informative.

As to the buttered bread, if the butter melts into the bread and is promptly cooled in the refrigerator, does the butter solidify within the bread?

[Je Pense]

um, I find an S to cook for me, duh.

 

[ohrtonz]

If I am having soup and sandwich, which I often do, I will use the spoon for spreading mayonnaise, then eat soup. Instead of wasting a knife I have to wash. I find it easier to spread mayonnaise and cream cheese with the back of a spoon.

 

[Symbiot]

I usually slice off some butter and get real close to the bread to get a good look and angle as I try to spread it. I quickly become frustrated because the butter is too hard and the bread is too soft. I end up with a small amount of butter spread while most of it is in a heap in one spot where the bread is smushed from pressing too hard. I prepare to eat the bread in a spiral pattern, consuming things in an attempted worst-to-best fashion (crust, unbuttered bread, lightly buttered, omg too much butter). While I do this, I consider how other people butter their bread, if the bread is still good, what other butters might be softer, climate/temperature reasons for hardness, the safety and practicality of leaving butter on the counter or in the fridge, and about that guy that melts the butter and pours it on (and if it would be too soggy).

Then, I throw it in the trash because I don't eat bread anymore.

 

[NoID10ts]

Butter is for pussies.

 

[Gather_Wanderer]

Unless the bread is warm, it always turns into this little glob of yellowyness in the center of a slice that is likely severely punctured/destroyed by my rough buttering with the knife.


For now on, I think I'll just hang a large melting pot of butter over a giant log fire in my backyard, akin to some sort of tribal sacrifical ceremony. When I want a slice, I'll fish it in and pull it out.


Heh, and all YOU folks rely on electricity for the simplest tasks.


Welcome, by the way.

 

[Pizzabeak]

Toast the bread then slice some butter on it with a knife, stroke it a few times in succession until there's no more butter on the knife.

Same here.
I will then put it into a toaster to make it hot again, in fact it tastes better too!

 

[P.H.]

I always put excess butter back

 

[Melkor]

I glare at the butter until it yields and evenly spreads itself on the bread.

Then I torture the bread in my deepest most darkest dungeons until it is perfectly toasted.

Then I eat it while riding at the head of a great host of demons on their way to a massive orgy of bloodletting and violence.

Of course, even with all this, the bastarding butter still ends up on the carpet!

 

[Dr. Freeman]

I guess you could use the fires of my sister's Fe to heat the butter, then use the "fire" of my Fe to cool it.

 

[MsAnthropy_Indefatigably]

Yeah, I use margarine in a tub like someone said. I don't eat butter on bread unless it came that way, like someone else said.... it's too much work. To me, butter is for cooking and basting....and it's like a delicacy. Nothing that good should just be laying around my kitchen.

 

[the_s_rabbit]

I used to put up with Country Crock, until the first time I met my in-laws. They only use real butter. So that's all I use now. I cut a chunk off the end of the stick, slice it into two "pats", throw it into the microwave for 12 seconds on power level 5 (out of 10). This results in delicious, spreadable butter for two slices of bread or toast. If I'm eating English muffins, I use more butter and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then I can push the toasted English muffin into the melted butter until they are dripping. Sooooo goood. And yeah, I take my sweet time. Don't wanna mess it up. If I were still using Country Crock I would just throw it on there and not give a crap.

 

[EditorOne]

Hmm. Apparently I have more of a ritual.

I don't eat butter on bread, only on toast. And trying to spread butter out of the refrigerator on toast leads to torn bread (yes, I am clumsy and impatient on many issues involving boring basic sustenance).

So. I pop the bread in the toaster and pop the stick of butter in the microwave for 16 seconds. When the bread pops, I'm ready with easily spread butter that then melts into the toast. I used to leave it heavy but the passing years are taking their toll on my metabolism and I now put excess butter off the knife back onto the stick and put it back in the fridge.

My wife and sons have celiac disease and so we do not have any wheat products in our home. Further, my wife is so reactive to wheat (and gluten from other sources, and corn), that if I eat them, she has a bad reaction when we come in contact.

So, I don't butter bread because I don't eat bread.

In related news, her allergies are so severe that we cannot eat processed foods and we prepare everything we eat from original ingredients. So, cooking often takes hours for us. But we eat really, really well.

 

[Cavallier]

I don't butter it. I peanut butter it.
