    We are having a family breakfast and the debate came up. Do you butter the toast before putting on the peanut butter? Or do you just put the peanut butter straight on your toast?

      Peanut butter straight to toast.

      The other way seems decadent.

        Lightly butter the bread before toasting. That'll help brown the surface more deliciously.

        Peanut butter after toasted.

          I didn't realize there was people that put butter on their toast before putting peanut butter on. Like, I can see it with jam because the intent is for the butter to hold the jam on. But peanut butter is already sticky, so I never really thought of it.

                I will occasionally butter one piece, peanut butter the other, and have a truly decadent toasted peanut butter sandwich.

                    I disagree! The butter greatly enhances the flavor moreso than keeping the jam on. If anything it allows the jam to slide off more easily.

                        Bread is coarse and crumbly. Jam is gooey and wet. Surely butter makes it less likely for the jam to stay on. I always assumed it was just for flavour. My grandma used to do butter toast with just a sprinkle of sugar on top, so I never even considered that butter was there for a functional purpose.

                        Butter on peanut butter is just weird, though, unless you're buttering before toasting. But then peanut butter is a recent import here, so maybe it's an old fashioned thing in the places that cultural imperialisted peanut puree unto us. Who's to say.

                              I thought that as well, but I found that using butter on bread with homemade jam, the butter acts as a consistency to make it so it doesn't slide all over the slice. when you do it without it just rolls

                                  this may depend on the jam. I found when I make homemade jam that if I don't have a butter bottom, it ends up gliding all over the toast and doesn't spread as easy/doesn't stick

                                        Chainsaw Man's mc is named Denji. He grew up excruciatingly poor, and so, at the beginning of the story, his dreams were very humble things like eating toast with decent toppings and hugging a girl at least once before he died. He dreams bigger and bigger as things go on, but it always stays comically simple because he's a simple kind of guy.

                                        ::: spoiler manga spoilers ahead
                                        His current stated dream is to have sex and the one person that wants to do it with him might have just lost control of her body as the devil within her reattained her full power. But his real dream (he is just too foolish to realize it) is to have a chosen family, which he has also been intentionally boxed out of a few times over now. So tragic. Much sad. ;(
