To butter or not to butter

Surely it's your choice. No 'done thing' about it.

Up to you but I watch the calories and don’t put butter on, especially with creamy cheeses.

It depends how greedy I'm feeling at the time, but then I'd no idea there were rules about it.

Is this to do with U and non U?

Fresh crusty white bread + butter + cheese + wine = heaven and not on my hips !
Enjoy what you like and stop worrying !

I've no idea what is the done thing about any food and I don't care. I like butter so I spread it liberally. Try it both ways maybe and decide which you like. 🧈🧀

The French do both. Enjoy.

I love butter with my cheese of any sort yumm yummy!

True. But butter is often counted as an extra filling if you’re buying a sandwich so I’d have it without.
At home, bread, butter, cheese.

It could well be 😂

I have to eat gluten free bread and I’m sure kittylester will agree that if a slathering of butter improves the flavour and texture you’re jolly well going to do it.

Then you can enjoy the Brie! 😋

With soft cheeses I wouldn't even be aware that there was butter underneath it. So no butter for brie or camembert but butter if hard cheeses

My excuse every time, merlot!

I don’t feel I want butter if the cheese is soft. But I’ve always preferred cheese and crackers without butter, as well. No ‘done thing’ about any food choices, as far as I’m concerned - I try to eat what I want, and stop when I start to feel full.

Why are people so obsessed by doing things the 'proper' way, rather than the way they prefer?

Whether I have butter onBread, with or without cheese is a matter of personal preference and how I feel on the day, the type of cheese, the type of bread and the quality of the butter.

Personally I prefer cheese on its own without bread, butter, biscuits, fruit, chutney and all the other various things that so often clutter a cheese board. Other people round me can eat as they like. I will stick to the cheese and to hell with all the rest.

I am not bothered about which is the correct way, I just love the added taste of real butter!

Personally, I just spread the cheese on it. If it’s a hard cheese, such as cheddar, then I’d perhaps add some spread/butter, depending how I was feeling at the time. As it is, cheese (and butter) is an occasional treat these days as I need to watch my cholesterol levels. I haven’t stopped eating them, just reduced how often and how much I have them.

Butter. The answer is always butter...

I’m a total butter fiend but not with a soft cheese on bread 🥖 - come to think of it, I’d do without the cheese…or maybe eat the buttered bread then cheese, separately😋

I bake bread, brotchen, and stangenbrot - no butter or cheese.

Opinions vary, do whatever pleases you.

Butter, every day of the week!

Norah I like Brötchen, lovely fir breakfast, not seen them here, but never heard of stangenbrot.

I have butter with everything.

Are you preparing something for other people? I would just put it all out and let them help themselves to what they want, however they like it.
