Tonight I cooked..........

[ancienturion]

Getting the butter just soft and thick enough to leave tooth marks when you bite into it.

Which puts me in mind of a rather nice blonde lady in Deppendorfer strasse who would slice white salted butter onto black bread. Mmmmm! (both actually)

Whip the cream to soft peaks first, then add the liquids. Honey should be runny, warm it a tiny bit to help. Not too much or you will cuddle it.

Bloody spellchecker. I put curdle, it put cuddle!! Do not cuddle cream. People will talk.

Oh, I managed to whip the cream, mit the bourbon and the honey, which I had dumped together wholesale into the bowl without doing any research but it wasn't easy. I spent minutes the first time just battering away with my whisk and nowt was happening but my wrists getting sore - certainly with no peaks soft or any kind, so I went online and had a look to find out why I was screwing it all up.

I found a video on YouTube that mentioned adding icing sugar and vanilla extract - of which I had neither, so I whacked in a couple of sachets of white sugar from a supply drop I got a while ago instead just hoping for the best, and about a minute later it worked.

It was nice.

I'll give your method a shot with what's left of my strudel. Well, when I say mine, I mean one I bought from Tesco's. I need to get some filo, decent cooking apples, a few raisins and I'll have a shot at actually creating one from scratch after I get the cranachans figured out.

Call me contrary, but I quite like mayonnaise in place of butter on some kinds of sandwiches. Cold meats, with sliced tomatoes, bell peppers etc. Not for bacon/sausage/cheese variants though.

We have certainly started something here, I too like mayo instead of butter.
But when it comes to bacon between bread no spread at all.
Now for me a “butty”has always been short for saying sandwich, I don’t like the word “sarny’, sounds common.

 

[Slime]

So a bacon sarnie doesn't have butter then? Where do toasties fall on the butter spectrum?

Toasties are like a splinter group of sandwiches

They ideally have their butter on the outside of the sandwich so they get a golden crispy outer.

All this talk of sandwiches made me hungry. Egg ‘n bacon banjos:

Fail.

That is clearly "TOAST" so immediately fails the "Banjo" test.

Try harder.

It is short for sandwich but comes from it being buttered it's the only way to get to butty.
Where do you stand on the Sanger ( Oz for sandwich)

Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, a cheese and meatloaf melt

I put mayo on both sides of the bread and cooked it in a griddle pan.

 

[Lardbeast]

It needs butter you heathen.

Mayo and Tabasco.

 

[Kirkz]

Mayo and Tabasco.

Perfectly acceptable for a sandwich or toastie or even a melt.

 

[Lardbeast]

Frightfully lush with bacon on fresh baked white bread.

Bread buttered on outside AND inside?

 

[single malt]

I use a George foreman grill for my toasties

No butter was used.
It's a melt not a butty.
Do keep up.

Ah but I butter the outside of melts, toasties and panninis makes for a juicer crisper outer.

I used mayo instead, works just as well.

Duh I really should have read your first post. Will give mayo a try.

Hmm, I don’t speak Aussie so I have absolutely no comment.
You are however very well informed when it comes to various guises of bread products.
