There wasn’t much food in the apartment the other night, and not wanting to traipse out and pick something up I decided to just rustle myself up with something from what we had… which turned out to not be a lot. Anyway, whilst looking around I just buttered a slice of bread, rolled it up and continued opening and closing the same cupboards, as if magically hoping food would appear, whilst munching away on my piece of bread and butter.

There was something very satisfying about that slice of bread and butter though. It’s hard to describe why, but it seems like a perfect balance of flavours and textures. It also brought up memories from being a kid and getting 3 slices of bread and butter with my soup for lunch during my summers off school. Whether the bread is toasted or soft it still has a very moreish taste to it. While in Paris recently, our breakfast at our hotel consisted of only fresh mini baguettes, butter and black coffee. But you know what, I didn’t mind at all. There is just something very satisfying about ripping apart fresh bread rolls and just roughly spreading some butter on them. The smells of warm bread mixed with the taste of the lightly salted butter is just perfect. But, like the old adage goes “man can not live on bread alone”, but still, as a quick snack I don’t think there is anything easier or better.

I also seen this Lurpak ad recently and it really does make my mouth water every time I see it. They really know how to cash in on the draw of fresh bread. See the video below.
