Hmm. Never had one.




So guys, butter or no butter in ham&cheese sandwich?

Butter obviously

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Do Americans even have fish fingers?

 

[Dreadnought]

I wonder if he claps every time it boils.

I love this

 

[SDCowboy]

Sounds like it'd be better with butter

Hmm. Never had one.

It also has mayo and deli mustard on it if that counts. Oh, and a spicy bread and butter pickle spear on the side.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Always butter the bread first whatever the sandwich.

Butter obviously

I usually don't put butter on it, only when it's a toast.

Are you putting Coleman's on it?

I don't even know what that is.

 

[PJV3]

I usually don't put butter on it, only when it's a toast.



I don't even know what that is.

Ah sorry, that's a bit like saying Branston.
English mustard.

 

[twobear]

i have a kettle too

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I don't have tea either, I have coffee, you guys use filter coffee don't you? Over here we main use granuals that just mix in with the water

Yea we do, I have an espresso machine, a standard all in one coffee machine that doesn't require a separate kettle, and a french press. French press doesn't get too much use as it's the slowest, but I'd probably use it more if I did have a kettle.

 

[frankie_baby]

It also has mayo and deli mustard on it if that counts. Oh, and a spicy bread and butter picker spear on the side.

Still needs butter

 

[SDCowboy]

Still needs butter

No. That would be gross and I love butter.

 

[SDCowboy]

Bro, this thread is about sandwiches and fish sticks now.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

It also has mayo and deli mustard on it if that counts. Oh, and a spicy bread and butter picker spear on the side.

Good god, I'm getting hungry

Ah sorry.
English mustard.

Nah, I like to keep it simple. But some mustard might go well with it.

i have a kettle too

We're way beyond that. Funny how this went from Americans not using electric kettles to not buttering their sandwiches.


Americans know nothing.

 

[PJV3]

No. That would be gross and I love butter.

How do you prevent soggy bread syndrome without a barrier.

 

[SDCowboy]

How do you prevent soggy bread syndrome without a barrier.

I don't go crazy with the sauce. Just enough to lightly cover the bread. Also the sourdough I use is a crustier bread so it doesn't get soggy.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Butter on sandwiches? I thought we were the fat ones, haha.

 

[entremet]

Butter on sandwiches? I thought we were the fat ones, haha.

Well European countries are much slimmer, so....

It also shows how wrong our fat phobia was. It's about calories and portion in the end.

 

[PJV3]

You are because they seem to be fucking enormous compared to english sarnies.

 

[kharma45]

Very few people actually use real butter for sandwiches, usually a vegetable oil or olive oil spread. Sometimes buttermilk ones too.

Real butter is for toasted things.

Eww margarine is gross.

 

[PJV3]

Eww margarine is gross.

Depends, some versions are better than others.

 

[SDCowboy]

Eww margarine is gross.

Well it's kind of hard to spread actual butter on non toasted bread.

 

[moggio]

Well it's kind of hard to spread actual butter on non toasted bread.

You don't actually need to keep butter in the fridge ditto eggs.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Well it's kind of hard to spread actual butter on non toasted bread.

Don't put it in the fridge.

And margarine is good. Healthier and all that.

 

[kharma45]

You don't actually need to keep butter in the fridge ditto eggs.

Even butter from the cupboard can be too hard for bread.

 

[Beefy]

Portion sizes are the difference between US and Europe. When I went to Florida I couldn't believe the size of the McDonalds meals there. One guy had a coke that was bigger then my head.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Don't put it in the fridge.

And margarine is good. Healthier and all that.

The FDA doesn't think so, they're trying to get rid of it. Trans fat is the new saturated fat.

 

[SDCowboy]

Hmm, I'm gonna keep them there anyway, but thanks.

 

[The Lamp]

Don't fill it up more than you need, man. Huge waste of energy otherwise.



Yeah, unless you superheat the water and it explodes in your face.

You can figure out the time setting to set your microwave to for perfect boil and use it for the rest of your life.

Also, superheating water means turning it into pure steam with no liquid, which I doubt anyone is doing.

Well European countries are much slimmer, so....

It also shows how wrong our fat phobia was. It's about calories and portion in the end.

Our food is also heavily laden with sugars and our corn industry is heavily subsidized by the government.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Warm the knife or whatever you're going to use to spread the butter.

The FDA doesn't think so, they're trying to get rid of it. Trans fat is the new saturated fat.

Really? Haven't heard anything about it.

 

[kharma45]

Warm the knife or whatever you're going to use to spread the butter.

That'll make the knife go through easier, doesn't stop this when you go to spread it

I'm going to imagine our spreads are different than yours. What's your typical marg spread?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

We (well many of us) use those too, but they're these...

Built in ftw!

 

[SDCowboy]

edit: never mind

 

[Daffy Duck]

Lol, I've had that happen when we bought I can't believe it's not butter instead of Flora.

I renamed it "I can't believe it's not spreadable"

 

[webkatt]

Butter doesn't need to be refrigerated.

American eggs do!

 

[moggio]

American eggs do!

Oh yeah, I forgot they wash the protective layer off the shell or something for some reason.

 

[GJS]

Why has America still not made salmonella vaccination in chickens mandatory?

 

[frankie_baby]

Buy warburtons bread instead, ain't nothing ripping through that

 

[PJV3]

Or that ghastly long life stuff, I ended up tiling the bathroom with the loaf.

 

[Raistlin]

Hate to break it to you, but they don't butter their bread either.

Those Americans are funny people

huh?

My nan buys that, its disgusting. Coupled with Utterly Butterly it's the worst.

The EU experience is better than the US Experience.

She's dead to me.

I had a similar problem with my gran and powdered milk, it's best to pretend they have passed on.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

Americans don't eat crumpets. I even had to just look up what it was, though I've heard the term on British shows before.

we have crumpets:

Oh yeah, I forgot they wash the protective layer off the shell or something for some reason.

another swing and a miss in this thread lol

 

[Lothar]

Do Brits really call sandwiches buttys or was that just a joke making fun of them?

 

[Bodacious]

8 page thread on electric hot water kettle/pots and no mention of Zojirushi? WTF?

 

[Beefy]

Chip(fries) butty is just a sandwich with butter and chips(fries). It's the only sandwich I would call a butty.
