Name one biscuit that isn't improved by being buttered.

I know people who have cheddar cheese on their teacakes/hot cross buns.

The world's a confusing place....

It's not another one of those North/South, lunch is dinner, dinner is tea, type things is it?

Do we have bun tea cakes in the South? Or do we just call them rolls?

oooh dunno...we have tunnock's tea cakes (the marshmallow things) and teacakes (slightly larger, slightly flatter hot cross buns without the cross) where I come from. But then I come from what is often classified as the
midlands so I guess I come from neither north nor south.

I don't think anyone would call a teacake a roll....

A Chelsea Bun?

Or is that something different again?

 

[gentlegreen]

all of 'em .

EDIT: I butter bread. Savoury bread. I butter savoury dry things. Not sweet things. I do not butter scones. No more questions please, I'm going out to play.

You should try buttered cake.

Srsly.

a Chelsea bun is different and tends to be larger than a hot cross bun, sometimes square, and dusted with sugar crystals on as well as the dried fruit.

My mum used to eat weetabix without the milk, but with butter and marmite spread on them.

I seriously have no idea why.

My colleague does this! He swears it's perfectly normal.

yeah - Chelsea buns are different to teacakes. They're more breadlike - made with yeast and sorta rolled up. Different thing completely. You wouldn't slice a Chelsea bun in half, toast it and slather it in butter, like you would a teacake.

A teacake is just a hot cross bun with with fewer pretensions that one can legally eat when it's not Easter

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I do not butter scones.

Poor Madusa. A life lived without a buttered scone is a life only half lived

Someone once told me that they went to a buffet at someone's house and there was Weetabix spread with pate on offer. Over the years I've come to think that this was a wind up but now you've said this, I'm not so sure....maybe the dirty bastards really did try to serve Weetabix and pate to guests

God, why do most British people insist on smearing butter over EVERYTHING?!

I get jibed about it ALL THE TIME here and I have screech that I'm different.

We like being fat and having heart disease

Have you tried a buttered scone though - seriously - or do you just think it would be nasty?

i just cant face butter smeared on something already rich and sweet unless it's baked together, like a cake or somesuch. So much butter is unnecessary and makes me feel sickly.

 

[Mitre10]

Buttering a sweet biscuit seems to me to be a whole world of wrong but if I was forced to do it I would say that buttering would not improve a bourbon.

Coffee and butter = Filth

Dispute that.

I can see where you've coming from but it is really nice! Promise!

Arrrrr, but coffee biscuits and butter...

Jaffa cakes. Only a mentalist would butter a jaffa cake.

 

[strung out]

you could butter the cake side i reckon and it wouldnt be too bad.

 

[mrs quoad]

It isn't, fwiw. I might go so far as 'lovely'.

e2a: as evidence for this, consider marmalade. Consider chocolate spread. Both of these work well, with butter. Plus cake, which also works well with butter. tbh, it's screaming out triple win.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

double mentalist score

Terry's Chocolate Orange on buttered toast would be f***ing lush.

Buttered jaffa cake is just a half-arsed version of that.

Any digestive biscuit. Enough butter as it is!

 

[prunus]

THIS! What sick fuck puts butter on sweet biscuits?! In addition, those people who butter hot cross buns should be shot!

Never has anyone been so right and so wrong in the space of such a short post -

this:

THIS! What sick fuck puts butter on sweet biscuits?!

- absolutely, unequivocally, correct; yet this:

In addition, those people who butter hot cross buns should be shot!

is the product of a dangerously deranged mind; a hot cross bun without butter is an abomination unto the lord.

I'll crawl back under my stone now.
