Why do deli staff have no comprehension of the phrase 'a tiny bit of butter'?
I don't ask for any anymore.

One could also ask why deli staff insist on referring to margarine or vegetable spread as butter - I never ask for the stuff for that reason.

its not that they dont understand its just that they couldnt give a shit. i find that auld wans tend to be a bit more generous than the young wans in filling up the sandwich/roll. I always try and order from the mature deli lady in the spar across the road but shes always chattering to people so i end up getting a miserly roll from the young lassie.

The same goes for mayonnaise and coleslaw. I really believe there must be a 90s style EU coleslaw mountain and all delis are instructed to shovel buckets of it onto your sandwich.

werent we just talking about this the other day?

mayonnaise = muck
coleslaw = muck

and do you know what else i really hate? when you order food in some place and it says that it is served with salad but the "salad" turns out to be a handful of coleslaw flung miserably on the plate.

Theres a bit of a knack to it, they say "butter?" you say "yes please just a small bit" an then pretty much as soon as the knife touches the spread you shout politely "thats loads!" an they figure the rest out themselves. sorted.

The aul ones I worked with always put on loads of butter.

"Why do you put so much butter on people's roll's" I asked once
"Ah luv, they like a big roll"
"Yeah, they want a big roll that tastes nice"
"Well, I like making a big roll!"

I used to put on a lot of butter, until I actually put some thought into what I was doing. Then eventually, I stopped giving a shit, it wasn't a great job like, and from then on people took whatever I gave them, pricks. Then I left.


Oh, and I know it's not butter, and it annoy's me that people call it butter, but they do. I suppose it's easier to say than "hydrogenated vegetable spread"....

I never ask for butter in delis anymore.
Does anyone use Stork as a spread?

 

[nEiLo]

Do you store butter in the fridge? or in the press?

No becuase that's just wrong! !bog

Most of it in the fridge but a slice on a saucer in the press.

thanks

I used to work with someone that used Stork exclusively instead of butter.

Fucking gross.

I store a small quantity of butter in a butter dish. This is kept in the press.

The rest of the butter is on a fridge door shelf.

 

[Zeelander]

butter dish.

Proper order.

Saucer in a press, you guys? Did we lose a war?

Not all of us are posh enough to own a butter dish, if a saucer is good enough for my Granny and my Mum it's good enough for me.

In hot weather like this do you keep your butter a cupboard or the fridge? I’m cupboard all the way. Love that spreadable goodness.

There's nothing worse than warm runny butter
