Butter Pecan Ice Cream.

My household is always stocked with least two different kinds of butter: I have cooking butter for sautéing and baking, which is mostly a cheap store brand, and a separate eating butter, usually Kerrygold, for slathering.
While both butters are always salted, the eating butter is kept at room temperature for easier slathering and, oh, how I slather. I slather it on bread (obviously), but I’ve recently expanded my repertoire to include three somewhat unusual, but delicious foods, and I think you should start slathering similarly.
Potato chips
Putting butter on potatoes is a normal thing, as is dipping potato chips into dairy. Why, then, do we not dip potato chips in butter?
If I had to guess, I would say it has something to do with puritanical values, and I would encourage you to shun those. The truth is that buttered potato chips taste good. Creamy fat has always paired well with salty, crispy things, and this particular combination is downright decadent, but not so rich that you can’t eat a whole bunch. (If you thought you couldn’t eat “just one” before, wait until you add butter.)
A melted mixture of butter, olive oil and lemon juice combo works well on fish dinners.
I believe in Glasgow those are deep-fried and called “cannon balls”.
A one pound tube of JD’s makes 4 eggs. It’s hard to eat 2 without feeling full and they stick to your ribs. It’s not really a lot, just a sausage and eggs breakfast, but for some reason I feel more than sated after just a pair.
Put some butter on a Butterhorn pastry or a cinnamon roll and you will not regret it.
Who knew we needed to be told how to use butter?
“If you think it’s butter, but it’s snot. . . .”
Well thanks for dredging up memories of Last Tango in Paris for me.
lol!
What, nobody has said Melted Butter on Chex Cereal?
We put a bit of butter in our deviled eggs...so creamy and delicious. Found a recipe using butter a year or so ago and will never go back. Ashame it took me so long to find that out.
Try it on an apple slice. Yummy!
My list includes spaghetti. Most spaghetti sauces give me heartburn if they're not laced with butter.
I have to agree with you. I’m a great fan of real butter, but potato chips dipped in butter sounds disgusting.
Butter on steak
Try thin sliced rounds of daikon radish, raw or air fried.
My dad taught me to put butter on radishes.
When I was a kid we’d take buttered saltines and grill them over pine needles at a nearby park. Any excuse to make a fire back then.
Everyone I know butters sandwich bread.
