Is it true that British people...

... butter their bread before putting peanut butter on it? If so, nasty.

For that matter, is peanut butter an acceptable toast/bread schmear in parts of the world other than Canada and the States?

My dad puts butter on his toast before jam. It bothers me. He's not British.

Butter adds flavor, so I don't see the problem.

And I do like butter/jelly combo, though I've never tried peanut butter and butter.

Really, many baked goods have butter in them anyway. And butter isn't that different from oil present in peanut butter.

Butter and peanut butter are great together. Just stay away from bread, carbs will kill ya.

 

[Iron Woode]

peanut butter with honey > peanut butter and butter.

Always, always apply butter/margarine before peanut butter. But from what I have heard, 'peanut butter' in the states is some sweet, sugar-laden monstrosity, where here it is a savory item.

Err, I thought everybody did that.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I don't eat peanut butter on toast very often (toasted english muffin anyway) but when I do I always butter it first and then apply the peanut butter. It is best this way.

 

[Leros]

Err, I thought everybody did that.

I prefer just jam.

Butter = fat and fat = flavour and flavour = win.

See, I find that rather disgusting. You are essentially double-buttering your toast.

The peanut butter I'm eating right now has 1g of sugar per 1tbsp (15g). So, barely any at all. 67g of sugar for 1kg of peanut butter.

PB&J or PB is sooooooo much better on an untoasted bread vs toasted..

So Brits force-spread the both cold butter on the cold bread before PB?

 

[disappoint]

I never liked PB&J, not even as a kid. Now Philadelphia Cream Cheese and jam on toasted english muffins is not bad.
