Bread buttered on both sides ?

Posted by: Brian OReilly on 29 November 2004

I've just been told that "you want your bread buttered on both sides, you do."

But why would I want that ? Even if it makes the bread taste even more moist and delicious, surely the fact that you couldn't hold it without getting butter on your hands negates the improvement in taste ?

I'm often in a position where I could butter my own bread on both sides if I wanted to, but I never have.

It's a very odd expression.

I suggest you have your cake and eat it instead.

Upon dropping my doubly buttered slice it landed on the crust ?

Though; as you're probably aware especially in Bayern the butter's always yellower on the other side ! and Marie Antoinette did complain so that it always fucked up her toaster ? Poor bugger burnt to death on many an occaasion !

I eat my toast carefully holding the crust. I've looked at toast from both sides now.

Thanks, guys. Some thought provoking stuff there.

I took your advice, Matthew, and had a piece of shortcake at lunchtime. Shortcake/shortbread ? It's not really cake and it's not really bread is it ? More of a biscuit I'd say.
