Even lower primates, such as Ring-tailed Lemurs, know that toast should be buttered and eaten while hot.
And so, to recap:
Acceptable toast-buttering:
Unacceptable toast-buttering.
Any further questions?

Is it also considered preferable to eat your toast whilst sitting on the counter? And holding your spare slice between your legs? Because I think I could kinda get into that.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteamen sister
Loth - storing your spare slice in such a manner would definitely lead to some butter melting.
ReplyDeleteFlipping hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYou had lemers in the kitchen! Wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I have another butter toast question. Salted or unsalted? What about Garlic butter in a pinch? (That one goes back to some family lore. Apparently it doesn't go over well at the breakfast table.)
Mimi - That isn't my kitchen, lol. The lemurs belong to a friend of a friend and they have wee baby lemurs which are just too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteI prefer salted butter to unsalted, and as for garlic butter, I think that might be yummy.
y'know, this whole toast thing has led me to overthinking the issue, thus taking away the simple pleasure I used to get from eating my (cold) toast with chunks of butter on it.
ReplyDeleteheheheheheelarious
ReplyDeleteMeanie - don't let the hot toast brigade put you off your normal toast. Just think what would happen to THEM if we were ever stranded on Survivor or something -- they'd cave so fast because they need all their food hot with melted butter; whereas we normal people would be able to live off any hard crunchy things we find.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute. I do however prefer warm peanut butter toast.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I'm totally joining that society. Cold toast = not right.
ReplyDeleteOh I so have to way in the warm toast versus the cold toast debate. I say cold, hardened toast with peanut butter j-u-s-t scraped across. With a warm mug of coffee and real cream. Oh yah.
ReplyDelete*snort*
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh out loud.
Forget the toast! I want those lemurs!
ReplyDeleteSorry daughter mine, but I still prefer very crisp cold toast with lashings of butter [salted]
