Growing up we would always have bread and butter with our meals. Both my parents grew up in the depression.
My father used to relate the rule in his house when he was growing up - if you don't eat bread, you don't get the rest of the meal. There were 11 children in the house being raised by his widowed mother, so it makes sense. Bread will fill you up so you need less of the actual dinner.
I love bread & butter to this day. My favorite is crusty Italian bread - least favorite is plain white store-bought bread. Homemade is best.
i hate toast bread, but i would enjoy a slice of fresh crispy baguette with butter just soft enough to be spread... Or any german style rye with crispy crust. (not sure why so many people prefer soft "crust" over crispy) for me bread without crust isn't a bread
I have just rediscovered unsalted butter..(mentioned above somewhere) and boy, I am lovin it!
Sprouts has this cranberry walnut loaf that is delicious w/the unsalted butter, Great on sour dough bread too.
Might be time to pull out the bread making machine....
A crusty French loaf with unsalted Danish butter. There used to be a restaurant here in town that had the most unusual types of bread in their bread baskets. You never knew what you were going to get but they were always divine. I don't eat much bread at home but bread baskets in restaurants are my downfall. I'm usually full by the time the food comes.
Mmm, French bread. I was in Paris recently and our hotel had an amazing breakfast buffet. I could not get enough of the fresh baguettes that they put out every day.
Or the baguettes that every restaurant put on the table when the meal was served. I noticed bread did not come before any other plates were served.
A few months ago I bought a bar of Finlandia butter. Never tasted butter so creamy and sweet
I was watching Ina Garten the other day and she and the gentleman she had on were having a 'butter tasting'. Your post bellakin123 abt the Finlandia reminded me of it.
I guess I never really thought abt diff tastes in butter, something abt the amount of salt that gets added.
So, Ina only cooks with unsalted butter, in case anyone wants to know...lol.

You should always use unsalted butter for baking and cooking because recipes call for salt so using salted butter throws everything off.
Yeah, it's amazing how butters taste differently. I couldn't get enough in Europe. It tasted completely different. It didn't have a heavy, fatty taste to it at all.
Last night I was so hungry! I buttered a piece of Dave's Killer Bread (the Good Seed variety) and added a light schmear of honey. So good! Went to bed happy.
Kerrygold butter for me. Any type of fresh bread, but it's hard to beat a good sourdough or french loaves.
