Literally the epitome of human cuisine. Two of the most ancient ingredients, considered by food specialists to this very day as some of, if not the oldest foods ever created by human hands. Even after all the new and different types of food and delicacies that humanity has created throughout our millenary journey across this realm, a good slice of toasted bread with salted melted butter still remains one of the most iconic combinations ever created. You can have it for breakfast, you can have it for lunch, you can have it as a midday snack, you can have it for dinner, and even as dessert, as you can also add some good-quality honey on top of it. You can have it during the hottest of summers and coldest of winters and it will feel totally perfectly fine. When humanity was at its lowest, these two ingredients were there for us, every single time. It doesn’t matter how many plagues, wars, catastrophes, and famines humanity has endured if there is bread, there is life, and if there is life, there is hope. You may have it soft or crunchy, as your soul desires and NO ONE will judge you And then there is butter, which was used as a cooking fat for entire millennia before these nasty vegetable seed oils ever cursed our palates and market. Its bright yellow color can infuse hunger and desire even in the poorest of the appetites. It can be used in both savory and sweet foods. From the saltiest dishes to the sweetest desserts, you will find butter. You go to a poor person’s house, there will be bread and butter. You go to a rich person’s house, there will also be bread and butter. We owe these two delicacies a lot, and to have a grateful day, I always start my morning with a simple yet incredibly delicious and versatile buttered toast. I love bread with butter, and I’m just grateful that I can share the same universe and existence with these two real, actual delicacies.
Wisdom but only when it's good bread and good cultured butter.
>>22072133not reading all that but I ate 13 slices of buttered sourdough toast the other day.
albertsons in the 90s would put out fresh french bread loaves at 4pm and mom would get us a loaf, cut it and butter it up a few minutes later at home, too good. it really activates our dumb mammal brains
>>22072139What’s your record?
It has no nutritional value
>>22072182This.Have milk and potatoes instead.
yeah it's very nice. too easy to overeat though, so i haven't had it for like a decade
My mom cooked English and Italian poverty food mostly growing up (sometimes Mexican too for variety), and I probably got a slice or half a slice of bread and butter almost every day.Whole wheat bread too because she liked the healthy/natural food stuff way before it became popular, she was always trying to avoid HFCS back in the late 90s before anyone really talked about outside of the nutrition class she'd taken in college, or used that abbreviation for it.I don't get it regularly because I'm very depressed since she died and sometimes butter will just sit in my fridge for months and go bad before I ever remember I have it to cook with it or use it on bread, but I still get it sometimes anyways.Actually, I get it unsalted now, still on whole wheat, because I like the really mild taste of just pure butter on bread, and my diet has too much sodium already.It's a very unbalanced meal but sometimes I will get one of those frozen lasagnas and eat bread and butter with it and mop up the plate with it. They don't taste anything like my mom's lasagna, she used a different sauce, ground beef, those thick lasagna sheet noodles, and a pretty good amount of ricotta cheese. And a lot less salt. Still it's similar enough to remind me.
>>22073925Also I used to eat it more before my old bread machine broke. It made the nicest loaves and I'd tear and eat them with butter and tuna from the can and some milk, I'd just get a few pats of butter and a knife, a can or two of tuna, and alternate between a morsel with butter and just scooping out tuna with the next one. Extremely satisfying, sometimes I'd eat just that for a day, and it was probably close to 2000 calories, mostly from flour.
