[Food] The bread buttering pole

[Bakero]

Yes! Butter/Butter substitute provides the perfect barrier to prevent the mayo etc from soaking into the bread rendering the sandwich inedible.

What bread are you using that absorbs mayo to that extent?

 

[Bakero]

Yes.
And I usually use proper butter, I make cheesecakes so I always have it knocking about in the fridge.

Butter is for life, not just for cheesecakes.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Do you really need butter if you've got mayo, for example?

Anyway, I bet half the posters aren't even using real butter.

Always butter everything, everywhere.

Everywhere.

Seriously though, I get my butter from my local butchers. I sometimes have to resist the temptation to just eat it straight from the dish.

What bread are you using that absorbs mayo to that extent?

Unbuttered bread.

Can we have a poll to see if it's pole or poll? And get a Pole to adjudicate.

Called Paul ideally.

I was going to point out that it's poll, but I thought someone would be adverse to my pedantry (probably Simster).

Following a heated debate at the local Wetherspoons, I bring back this point of topic

Do you butter both slices of bread for a sandwich, or just the one slice?

Anyone get glassed in the face for preferring Lurpak slightly salted?

I prefer it, but Mrs Earle insists on Anchor Lighter. I still remember the taste of butter though...

 

[Guinness Boy]

I honestly thought there was a new invention at Wetherspoons - a pole covered in butter, on which punters can slide their slice of bread round, to avoid paying kitchen staff a minimum wage.

There are two poles in every Wetherspoons. One as a long range service to help the chef push the start button on the microwave and one to stir the slop tray before it gets poured back into the barrel.

There used to be loads more but they’ve all left since Brexit.

 

[Anger]

Always butter both and always butter into the corners. The middle will take care of itself.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Often neither. If adding another condiment, butter can be omitted imo.

Is the right answer.

Anything and mayo or mustard and mayo doesn’t need butter. Nor does cheese and pickle.

Bacon and sausage sarnies need both sides buttered with brown sauce.

I can take or leave it with beef. Butter with English mustard but no real need with horseradish cream or Dijon so long as you don’t mind the spice that comes with lots of condiment.

No one butters the bun on a chicken burger, which can be chicken, mayo and lettuce just like a sandwich.

Is he called Tomasz or Pawel? The Pole that is

 

[Titanic]

It depends on the filling. If mayonnaise or peanut butter is appropriate, then one or no buttered slices is just fine.

 

[dazzer6666]

Ghee, what a crap thread. I’m out

 

[Albion my Albion]

What if I butter each slice twice on both sides of the slice?

And how do you spell a Polish poll about poles?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Where is the 'neither' and 'it depends' options.

Ham and jam its both sides.

Smoked salmon one

Bacon egg and sausage, neither.

A ham and jam sandwich?

Burn the witch........

 

[Bakero]

What if I butter each slice twice on both sides of the slice?

For a toastie that's totally logically (although maybe you wouldn't choose to butter the insides)

I use a knife, not a pole.

If somebody has said that before, I apologise. I just couldn't be arsed to read through a thread that should probably just be deleted anyway. In fact, I think i wi........
