Butter Or Olive Oil On Bread?

[+ Avalon]

I've not eaten bread in 10 years but when I did at home it was always with butter; real butter not margarine.

 

A few times at restaurants olive oil was provided for the bread. I enjoyed that.

Depends on the kind/type of bread/roll --

 

White = Throw it away

-Rye/Pumpernickel/Russian Black Bread - Butter or Cream Cheese

 

-Multi Grain - Nothing on it enjoy the rich flavor and texture

 

-Good Crusty Seeded Italian from Brick/Fire Oven -

Nothing or Olive Oil or Fresh Roasted Peppers

Depends. Sometimes I like good olive oil with my bread and other times butter.

[bigvalboy]

Same..depends on the bread. Olive oil and butter are both wonderful. I could empty the bread basket at a restaurant several times and skip dinner.

Real butter. I do use olive oil on garlic bread.

BUTTER, BUTTER, BUTTER!!!!

 

Most olive oil is tasteless to me.

 

I do like balsamic vinaigrette. And it’s especially good on a thick crusty Italian type bread.

 

But did I mention, BUTTER? It’s the best!!!

When I have my morning bread , its never with OIL, so why dunk bread in oil for dinner ? I know some restaurants think its sophisticated, and perhaps healthier to serve bread with olive oil, but give me some good ole whipped butter any day. It just tastes better to ME.

Olive oil FTW! I love it when combined with tomato paste and a splash of balsamic vinegar.

I'm something of a misfit in my family -- I'm not a big bread fan. My entire family has always insisted that bread be served at every meal. At home I only use bread for a sandwich and even that isn't very often.

Now if I'm eating out for dinner and olive oil with a splash of balsamic and a good crusty bread is served I'm a very happy camper.

Everything is better with avocado, although I've never tried it as a lube.

I just noticed you said you hadn’t eaten bread in 10 years. Are you on a perpetual Atkins’ Diet?

I am a diabetic. My doctor told me to avoid bread, potatoes, rice, cereal, pasta.

 

It is hereditary in my family. It killed my mother in her 50s. And though her mother lived into her 80s it cost her both legs.

I’m sorry about the way it’s affected your family.

Thanks. Just one of those things a person has to live with.

I know people aren’t going to agree with me-but it is my solemn belief that except for the most finicky recipes, it doesn’t matter if you use salted butter in the place of non-salted butter.

 

Now discuss.

Good olive oil has become hard to find. It's been forever since I have had real full, fruity olive oil. Everything from the store is just kind of grassy tasting.

Olive oil, and a touch of salt and pepper too.

 

So Mediterranean!

Now you’re just being an internet butter troll!

And I’ll bet you have it vice-versa...most households use salted exclusively and snub unsalted. I always have both, I bake and it makes a difference there. Also....in a lot of things (even eggs) I use unsalted so I can adjust seasonings myself.

I only use unsalted. don't miss salted butter at all.

I just don’t think it matters that much. I think it’s a myth. I can tell you I hate non-salted butter as a spread on bread.

well different palates perhaps....calling it a “myth” is a bit dismissive. Google salted v. unsalted, wise variety of objective facts and subjective tastes

I apologize. You’re right. It probably is palate related.
