If your toast comes out darker on one side and light on the other which side would you butter?

Perhaps this should be in the philosophy forum.
So it looks like I can split humanity into two groups now just with a piece of toast......
Depends how dark. If it goes beyond a certain darkness threshold I abandon it and start again.
My mum used to scrape it off with a knife. The sound was horrible.
i'd look at the toaster and find out why...assume you are using a toaster and not a grill in which case it's your own bloomin fault it's uneven...
I'd have the light side buttered because I prefer paler toast - and I'm just one of nature's optimists!
Are you even allowed to acknowledge that one side is darker than the other?
Get the butler to do it again. And tell him not to send out defective toast in future.
Does anyone out there butter both sides?
Slice the bread in half, so it is two really thin pieces of single sided toast then butter them both.
I would put cheese on the paler side and stick it under the grill.

I like my toast so that when you butter it, it goes yellow, but I would butter the lighter side!
I do like butter, but I don't eat bread, toasted or otherwise, so I wouldn't butter it on either side.
dark! to hide the taste. i hate dark toast!!!

What do you butter then?
All sorts of things do better for a dob of butter - veggies, sauteed mushrooms etc etc. Lots of things.

see im the opposite. i'm not a huge fan of butter eww
I refuse to go over to The Dark Side. I love a big dollop of butter on a baked potato. Well mashed in. . .
I've stopped bothering with butter/margarine.
So do I, but alas, the taters had to go the same way as the bread :( (it's the waistline, you see...)

I'm with you there. Who needs diets?
(Well I do, really.)
Cut out the Merlot Will. It'll do wonders for your waistline.
I don't eat toast but I love heated bread it doesn't qualify as toast cause I pop t before it starts going golden. Any more brown than a pale golden colour is too toasted for me. NO THANKS Then I slather it in butter so it's soggy and perfectly scrumptious
Will wrote: "So, Jam, marmalade, or peanut butter?"marmite on toast. I'm not a fan of jam or marmalade - and don't often buy the stuff (blueberry jam is the one exception) I only eat toast and jam for breakfast in hotels. Peanut butter - no thanks (although I do like the peanut butter kitkats)
Peanut butter is the Devils work. Marmite on toast is my favourite.
I butter the dark side by the way.
Marmite YUCK! It would be just butter or chocolate spread for me but if I have to choose from the list I would have to go with jam. Daddy's jam preferably, which turned out to be any of a variety of red coloured jams.
It depends if I'm feeling sweet or savoury. I love marmite but I also have a cupboard full (at this time of year) of home-made jams from home-grown fruit. It's practically medicine!
Only people I know who like Marmite are all English.
Hate marmite. In my toast-eating days it had to be marmalade. My late mum used to make the best, but Oxford Thick Cut comes the closest of what you can buy in the shops.
Thick cut marmalade on toast is for me the carbs equivalent of bacon to a vegetarian...
New Zealand Marmite on toast is fabulous. It is very different to English Marmite.Also Peanut Butter.
Golden brown toast spread with ripe banana!

A friend told me that when having toast, they have to score the toast a couple of times first to let the butter melt into it. Now I find that I can't resist doing it too!
Roses Lime Marmalade. Or apricot jam.
What is it about older women making the best toast?My Grandmother made the best toast in history and now my Aunt has taken her place. Always the best toast.
Now I need to go make toast.

I'm ignoring you.
:P
See, Patti can't ignore anyone. She has to send you a nmessage to say she's ignoring you. She started a whole thread once to tell Simon she was ignoring him!
Hmmm. Yeah.I'm not so good at snubbing am I?
But I believe Simon opened that thread.
I think you're right. But you caved, didn't you? ;)
I always have toast for breakfast,lightly toasted with either Tescos butter me up or tomato ketchup.
I think I would have to scrape some of the burn off, hate the taste of it! Yuck! Butter, Jam or golden syrup to top it off, seriously if you haven't tried golden syrup on toast do it - you won't be disappointed!

Golden syrup doesn't last in our house, as i eat it out of the tin.
