So my take is, it’s the spread is creamy/ rich/ fatty (and by fatty I didn’t mean fattening but maybe I subconsciously am also influenced by diet culture) then you don’t need butter as there would be too much richness. So peanut butter, Nutella, phillidelphia, all a big no for butter in my book. But things like jam, marmalade, marmite all a big yes because the butter really compliments them as their sharper / less creamy.
I read this while eating a peanut butter sandwich (with butter) - following a breakfast of chocolate spread on crumpets (also with butter). So you know where I stand!
Butter can go on bread, below a spread eg in a sandwich such as peanut butter and banana or pate, but never on such delicacies as pate on toast or peanut butter.... that's just wrong!!
People have butter with spreads?! This is a revelation and not a positive one! Butter does not go underneath anything that is a spread (including jam), anyone who says otherwise is a savage!!!
