Thank you, OP! I will have butter toast for breakfast!

Growing up in an Indian city, I had grandparents who lived in the Indian countryside and had farmland. My grandmother's kitchen in the country had a giant old electric butter churn, and she would get the milk from buffaloes on the farm.

She would make homemade butter and homemade ghee, and ship it to my parents' house in the city.

This butter was pure white (buffalo butter tends to look like that, not yellowy) and very, very thick. Buffalo butter (and buffalo cream, and buffalo yogurt, and buffalo ghee...) is unbelievably delicious, and I would have it on toast in the morning before the school bus arrived.

When I had friends over for sleepovers, we would always end up in the kitchen at 3 AM, eating buttered toast. My friends literally died over my grandmother's butter.

I miss those days. I may try buying butter from a local farm in this area.

I'm sorry about your friends

I have two pieces of buttered toast with my two egg omelette every morning, only I add Wild Chokecherry jelly (from Red Lake Nation Foods) on top for a sweet and salt thing.

Yum and cool where you get the jam - can you buy it someplace locally in DMV, or do you have it shipped?

You can ship it! They have a bunch of different kinds, though they do go out of stock (as you can imagine with a wild grown food).

I love this thread.

I only know of two perfect things in life - hot buttered toast and my DD.

My DS comes close but he puts jam on his toast.

How did this never cross my mind? This is one of the most genius - obvious but I didn't think of it things I've seen in a long time.

My whole life, how many thousands of toast sides did I waste?

(slinks away feeling grateful this forum is anonymous)

My husband's grilled cheese sandwiches are so good for this reason--he butters both sides of the bread!

I am a proud member of Team Buttered Toast, but I’m here to say that if you spread mayo on the pan side of your grilled cheese bread and cook as usual, it will rock your world.

This is the TRUTH!

I never eat toast ( buttered or otherwise) as an adult, but I do remember running home from church as a kid when my brother + I melted butter in a saucepan + poured it over toast . (This was when Catholics had to fast before Communion).

You brought up a found memory OP- thanks!

I thought Chokecherries were poisonous?

Oh, sorry I realized that I was thinking of Pokeberries.

So I’ve always been a big butter person —
Toast and butter
Eggs with a good tab of butter
Mash potatoes and a stick of butter etc

But my LDL cholesterol was quite high (triglycerides low). So I’ve cut eggs and butter, and will retest soon. Curious to see if it’s made any difference.
