There is no disputing the lure and lusciousness of bread smeared with rich creamy butter… sometimes melting, settling deeply into the crumb, depending on the warmth of the bread – toasted or fresh from the oven. Caught in the right light at just the right angle, the surface glistens. You smile and sink your teeth into the buttered bread, tasting the flavour of the butter mixed with the softness of the bread. It is comforting and satisfying.
