Twice toasted, of course. I don’t like them flabby…
A certain poster elseboard’s dog, the infamous Patrick, gets given a crumpet every week, when the cafe is open.
He likes them twice toasted too…

When I was a wee bird, butter was declared Evil. I’m making up for it now.

During my incarceration, all meals came with a portion of butter, unless there were specific reasons it was forbidden. Given that the alternatives would be cheaper, easier to store (spreadable from fridge) and have a longer shelf-life, I assume that it is now considered the better option.

Aaah Joe
Food hygiene and portion control are to blame there

‘Good’ margarine, such as Stork, was often used for baking, when I was a child, but not for fine things like pastry, shortbread, or Viennese Whirls, where a buttery taste was important. Mind you, lard was used in some pastry too
Butter declared ‘reasty’ by my Mother was used to make a fruit cake.
Dad had butter on everything, including boiled eggs, & the aforementioned fruit cake…

Don’t think they are, since single serving units of disgusting ersatz spreads are also available.

Granddaughter doesn’t like the taste of butter, but will only use 1 brand of ersatz spread.

Exactly, Gus - both came in single portions. I was pleasantly surprised that butter was the default. You got demoted to 'orrible oily stuff if there was a medical reason. I got shoved on it for a day because one of the conceptions they were giving me did weird things to my blood sugar levels and I got (erroneously) flagged as diabetic. Next day it was back to the butter and - fair play to them - an apology.
But which butter? They certainly don’t all taste the same. Since I start making my own, the variation has been huge

She doesn’t like cream, either, mind you, it doesn’t suit me too well.
Notta problem as such, but the Cornish future in-laws make part of their living by selling Cream Teas…
GD & I have encouraged the Savoury Tea, wivvan Cheese Scone, lightly smoked ham, & onion marmalade.
They are selling quite well

Is Patrick’s owner - or the poster owned by Patrick - still around? I haven’t seen her anywhere for a long time.

Not sure that she processes butterfat very well, Joe, hence not coping with clotted cream, either
I think that by making butter, you are reminding us that it is indeed a fresh, quality product, & should be treated as such. It tastes different, during the different seasons.
Thinks of ‘Fleurs du Sel’ & has to sit down…

Yes, TFM, although she has had problems with her 'phone, which is her only means of accessing The Internetty.
Patrick has been poorly, & is supposed to be resting

I don’t doubt you. But as joe has said, both butter and ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Even Edible’ are available in the single-serving format, so hygiene/storage/portion control had nothing to do with him being given butter.
When they say ‘a matchbox-sized piece of cheese’ as the daily ration, I’m not unhappy.
