Do you butter your toast for beans?

    When making beans on toast I tend to just put the beans straight on the toast. Does anyone butter it first?

    Toast has to be buttered, and some grated cheese on the beans is good, if you're feeling decadent.

    I would have thought most people do, as it's far tastier, but unfortunately not as healthy.

    So if you're not in the habit of doing so, you're lucky, don't acquire it !

    Toast must be buttered. It's just burnt bread otherwise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,117 ✭✭✭Melisandre121


    OP here, I only recently started eating beans on toast (never cared much for beans before) and never thought of buttering the toast. Reading these responses I now feel like I've really missed out... Like those people who have bread with no butter with their soup. Ew.

    Has to be buttered. Wasting your time otherwise. Little bit of ketchup (chef obviously) mixed into the beans is a nice touch.

    Try it and get back to me. You haven't lived until you've cheesed up your beans on toast!

    When I was a teenager, eating a plate of beans was like looking in a mirror.

    Of course I butter my toast. Lots and lots of butter.

    good for you :) :
    Risk for heart attacks, strokes and overall cardiovascular disease was similar regardless of butter intake, according to the results in PLoS ONE.


    Each additional tablespoon of butter consumed was tied to a 4 percent lower risk of developing diabetes.

    Add hot sauce too. Chill cheesey beans are a taste sensation.

    And OP - just butter your ****ing toast. What kind of monster are you?

    This needs a poll....


    I've never seen anyone butter their toast with beans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    Of course. I have beans and toast, not beans on toast. Big difference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,577 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    I add toast to my butter and beans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,009 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    I'm sure this is a double entendre, but I can't work out the specifics.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,295 ✭✭✭FortySeven


    If you add a tin of spaghetti hoops with the beans you get loads of little flying saucers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭degsie


    Cheese beano ftw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,514 ✭✭✭bee06


    Of course. Loads of butter ... Delish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 33,261 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    The ONLY way to eat beans on toast.....

    Slather toast with butter
    Pour beans on
    Cut off and eat crusts, while beans/sauce soak in to buttery toast
    Eat all the beans

    Finally the best bit - the soggy, butter, tomato-saucy toast.

    Try not to drip buttery tomato sauce down your front :D

    Yum!

    It should go without saying but I feel it's important enough to stress: Dairy spread is not butter. Flora is not butter. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (I can) is NOT butter.

    When I say I butter my toast, I mean the real thing. No vegetable input at all.

    Anyone who 'butters' their toast with Flora or spread needs to be taken out the back and shot for crimes against food. :(

    REAL butter now lads. None of that artificial spread shíte.

    Bit of grated cheese and black pepper.

    Right that's the midnight snack sorted. Cheers OP!
