After how many decades should I expect this “occasional phase” to end?
Peanut butter and jam is an amazing combo.
Buttered toast with some garlic powder was one of my go-to “I’m broke as hell, but at least this is tasty” foods.
TF I’m in my 40s and when I make bread with dinner it’s basically the same thing with some kind of fancy bread. Olive loaf is calling my name.
Sounds like a “it’s 2am and I’m stoned” thing. So sometimes, yes.
When I lived at my dad’s a long time ago now he got furious at me for eating straight slices of bread with butter on them instead of making a sandwich.
I loved that shit and I’m sure I still would but that experience kinda killed it for me.
I’m french, I call that breakfast.
Im going to go make some toast right now
Once again the lack of the word “tartine” and a proper translation for “brioche au pur tartinée de beurre” shows what is missing in English speaking cultures.
Come to France and try toasted baguette with salted butter, it won’t be a phase.
i used to work next door to a bakery. the owner/baker grew up (and learned to bake) in belgium. she imported her flour. probably still does. it was my first job and i still miss that summer sometimes. Tina and I still do coffee once a month.
That all depends on if I smoke weed or not.
Yes, but with real bread.
It’s super delicious and I feel fulfilled after 2 or 3 slices.
Not only real bead, the kicker is good yeast, there is a yeast that gives this Great Taste of bread, it’s hard to find. But some yeast is vastly superior to others.
Yep, i sometimes bake bread and using different sourdoughs (which is wild yeast) changes the taste considerably. And using only industrial yeast is immediately noticeable.

My daughter has just discovered the joys of fresh baguette with butter. It’s all she wants all day long
Butter that toast. Make super rich hot chocolate. Use some half & half in it, even. Dip that buttery toast in the hot chocolate.
that sounds wonderful but coffee instead of cocoa (i eat chocolate twice a year and it must be the fanciest. i am not high maintenance)
I remember fresh bread and butter. Yum.
Not anymore though because my body decided it makes sense to attack itself when I eat the tiniest particle of gluten. Celiac disease. Ugh.
Potatoes and butter.
I’d probably pick bread as my favorite food, but at one point doc had me try going gluten free to rule out some possibilities. No gluten issue, but it really made me value a nice potato! Potato is just underground bread.
Yes but don’t forget the salt there.
Syracuse, New York is nicknamed Salt City, as it was a huge commercial salt producer for many years. There is a dish called Syracuse Salt Potatoes which boils the potatoes in a very saturated brine, as salt was in no short supply.
The skin on the small potatoes keeps too much of the salt from being absorbed, and the centers get such a creamy texture while as the water evaporated off the skins from residual heat, it leaves a beautiful powdered salt coating all over the outside. Then cover or dip (I like to dip so the salt doesn’t run off) in melted butter and enjoy! Must be tasted to be believed.
I love potatoes. I used to talk down on them too. Not anymore. Meat and potatoes, or beans and potatoes whatever you want.
You probably know this stuff better than me since you’re coeliac, but just in case you don’t: try the Loopy Whisk’s bread recipes. I have a couple of coeliac family members and these are by far the best results I’ve gotten for making gluten free bread for them
As someone who was diagnosed at 43, I relate so much to this comment. Most things, buttered toast included, aren’t worth the weeks of pain. Although, I have seriously considered a Dick’s Deluxe burger on a couple of occasions.
Wait, we’re supposed to restrain ourselves??
What is restraint?
Me not telling you what I really think about you.
