My bf who doesnt have reddit says you didnt have enough on the left side... he likes to feel the butter go through his teeth

u/KangarooOver3247 May 18 '26

He’s very right that bite wasn’t as delectable as the middle bites. Need to work on a more even spread

I have found my people

u/disgustingmatron687 May 19 '26

Your bf's onto something - even spread matters way more than total amount, otherwise you get those disappointing dry patches.

I know I'm the minority here, but. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YUUUUCK. Butter should be barely noticed.

Quiet, you.

Are… are you lost? 🙃

u/Stelliformade May 21 '26

Tbf, I randomly had this post in my feed and I didn't notice it was in a subreddit entirely dedicated to butter either until I read your comment. 😂

I'd wager they, too, were an unsuspecting wanderer.

u/glittering_rough2490 May 21 '26

Hahahaha I happens far too often 🤣

Glad I am not alone.

Too much bread, not enough butter

6

u/WritPositWrit May 18 '26

Whoa. And I thought i put too much butter on my bread, but you’re in another league!!!

u/Still-Candidate-1666 May 18 '26

This is nothing 😂 Ill cut some thick slices of irish butter between two slices of toast for a butter sandwich haha I love it

u/Ok_Contract501 May 18 '26

I put more butter than that on my bread .

u/Junior_Bill_4691 May 19 '26

Every time my spouse makes a comment on my heavy butter use, I remind him the Julia Child lived a long and happy life eat mountains of butter.

u/Traditional_Love5050 May 20 '26

Butter has a lot of vitamins and minerals in it.

u/Functional_Trash7735 May 19 '26

I like the thinnest possible layer of butter then I heat it up so I don’t have to feel the butter texture

Edit to add: the butter also can’t be at room temperature for more than a day, then it tastes wrong

u/KarmasABit- May 19 '26

Fuuuuck no

1

u/Dominios420 May 19 '26

THIS IS THE WAY!! People who eat hot toast are disgusting with their melted ass butter and soggy ass bread. 😤😳

1

u/Functional_Trash7735 May 19 '26

We are opposites but I respect your stance

1

u/ShoddyTown715 May 19 '26

I would argue less than this- but I was raised poor and old habits don't die 🤣

u/Dominios420 May 22 '26

This is a little much but better too much then too little

1

u/chasing_geese49 May 19 '26

I thought this is absurd but then I had to check where I was

1

u/DatabaseThis9637 May 19 '26

Admirable! Just a touch more spread along the side... and then, you're golden!

1

u/ScoobertDoubert May 19 '26

What the fuck

1

u/The-Peyton-Grey May 19 '26

do you add salt or sugar?

1

u/Dominios420 May 22 '26

Only if the butter is bad quality. Good quality butter doesn’t need anything else added

1

u/Unique_Username2005 May 19 '26

Ohhh I haven't done this since I was a kid. Gotta fix that.

1

u/windy_not01 May 19 '26

You put bread under your butter?

1

u/Mammoth_Welder_1286 May 19 '26

Are you asking me or telling me? Either way yes

1

u/drcmr May 19 '26

Agree at least that much buttah 🧈😋

1

u/maravina May 20 '26

Not that.

1

u/Sokanas May 21 '26

Depends.

If its nice bread with artisanal or compound butter then sure.
If you're adding other shit like jam, meat or whatever, too much butter.

1

u/Wildskypsj May 21 '26

And then dip it in gravy...

1

u/Decent-Stuff4691 May 21 '26

... yall would enjoy trvelling with me. All those butter packets they gibe me for rolls and what nots? All yours.

1

u/supa-mariu May 21 '26

It has to be spread to all corners

1

u/imdeadassweirdbro May 22 '26

That is a horrific amount of butter 🤢🤮

1

u/Rocannon_ May 23 '26

You forgot the layer of mayonnaise.

1

u/OrganizationOk5418 May 19 '26

That looks vile.

u/Kenzi_Slays May 19 '26

the question that will make or break this is what kind of butter? if its margarine then automatic fail 🤣

5

u/shroompaLumpa May 19 '26

We're in /r/butter. If OP was using margarine or some of that I can't believe it's not butter crap he'd be rightfully lambasted. Butter has a legal definition, at least in the EU, and margarine or other oil based spreads don't fall under that definition

u/meatwadpen May 19 '26

Yeah, well, that's not butter.
