I usually like butter on rye toast. I've been eating it this way for years.
Can I also use butter on whole wheat toast? I see nothing on the butter
wrapper or bread package which sheds any light on the issue. Help!

Ha! You're clearly a toast connoiseur, and know your ways around the
noble crust. You're right, Big Butter isn't interested in accuracy or
helping
out us little guys. I remember, back before butter had gone corporate,
they
used to care about the consumer and address things like this. You
can't
blame them I suppose; Parkay kind of ruined it for everyone - the dairy
industry
had to keep up somehow. But I miss those days.

The first thing you have to consider is whether or not your whole wheat
is really
"whole" wheat, or is just what's labelled "wheat bread," which can
have any amount
of whole wheat flour. These breads can be overwhelmed by a really good
butter, although
with standard Land-O-Lakes or store brand, they work fine. It goes
with out saying that you're
using unsalted.

You might be lucky enough to live somewhere near a developing artisan
buttermaker. These folks
are bringing back the ancient noble art of churning as it was meant to
be. Many use organic milk from their
own cows. This stuff is the best. If you're using this, then you
either should be baking your own bread or
using artisan baked stuff.

Plugra, or finnish butter, is availlable in specialty stores and
high-end groceries like Whole Foods. It might even
be availlable in normal stores like Kroger or Albertsons or Aldi. You
can probably also buy it over the internet.

What are you burning your bread with? I tried the fork method like
they do in the UK, but I just couldn't master it. Maybe if I had a
roaring fire, but it doesn't work with a gas range. I know some people
like those retro styled hulks like Cuisinart is selling, but those are
mostly overpriced flash. I've had perfectly good results with a thrift
store hamilton beach two slicer. I don't like the color, but hey,
isn't that what spray paint is for?

Good luck and enjoy.

Find the discussion called "Garlic Spread --> Garlic Bread" or something

You covered the territory nicely, though. Good job, Greg! LOL! I'm
particularly fond of the lines about butter going corporate!

Why the heck would the type of bread matter as to the use of butter?

Thank you for being awake, Nancy. :-) Lately, I have little patience for
helplessness in the kitchen, and people who need a full-scale online
investigation and a call to the Vatican, just to figure out what can be done
with garlic spread. :-)

Of course not - for Wheat toast you need sheds light as you mentioned.

I don't have an answer. I checked out:

Butter Is Best
http://www.butterisbest.com/


The American Butter Institute
http://www.butterinstitute.org/


If even checked (God forgive me) Margarine.org
http://www.margarine.org/


Even the Toaster Museum had no answer.

The Toaster Museum
http://www.toaster.org/


Here is an article about how various breads held up to toasting, but
nothing about buttering them.

http://www.jsonline.com/entree/cooking/may03/142616.asp


I would butter the underside of the whole wheat toast and see how that
works.

Time out! There's a top and a bottom for a slice of whole wheat bread (not
counting the ends)? What about potato bread???

You bet there is! The best way to determine which side is the top is
to drop it from waist or countertop height on to the floor. The side
that lands touching the floor is the top. ;-)

I FOUND IT! Here is the recipe for Buttered Toast. Everyone write it
down because I'm not going to repeat it!

(I don't think the type of bread matters, but I could be wrong.)

Some butters have been known to explode on contact. You might want to
write or call the manufacturer of the butter. Make sure to have the
brand name of the bread and serial number written down in case they
ask. If you were daring enough, you can attempt to spread a small
amount and see what happens. Just make sure to wear protective
headgear, goggles and some type of light body armor. Wearing several
layers of clothing and a heavy nylon ski jacket will suffice.

Hi Doug,
How is school? I see they let you use the computers. Fun, isn't it.
Pretty soon you will be old enough to masturbate and you won't have time to
use the computer.
