Jam Courtesy Rant.

Leaving butter in the jam... so annoying.

viz

Or when you need to take the next motorway junction and you're stuck stationary in the middle lane and the slow-lane cars refuse to let you in so you have to stop and create a big gap in front of you, which all the cars in the left are happy to occupy, but they're in front of you so it still doesn't leave you a space to enter the left-lane.

Jam isn't too bad. Marmite though *shudder*

Discovering that jar of marmalade is actually apricot jam :x

I feel truly humbled. I can only apologise

I don't like butter on stuff I'm putting jam on.

Hmm I virtually never use butter in sammiches ... peanut butter goes on the bread, jam straight on the bread... cold meats is salad cream (no butter - why would I need any?). Hot meats is meat juice and sauce (normally a spicy barbecue)... only time I have butter on bread is toast or toasted crumpets... maybe toasted bagels... assuming nothing else is going on the toast.

So my jam is always butter free

There has to be butter. Not 'spread' (get a butter dish), but butter. And never leave it in the Marmite. Marmite rules.

Top tip 1- put a tablespoon of Marmite in yer gravy on a Sunday, my word, does stuff that's just good and don't taste like Marmite.

Top tip 2- always do fried eggs in butter. Not 'spread' or spray stuff. It might kill ye, but fucking hell, yum yum.

That is all.

Have a wisdom - couldn't agree more. And a chip butty without melted butter running down your fingers is plain criminal..

This is one of my pet hates, finding "additional" substances in jars.

One thing I find totally disgusting is the habit of scraping Butter/Spread back into the dish/tub after buttering toast, yes, I know people like this exist. Uncouth is a total understatement, that or just fucking lazy.

FFS, can't people judge better how much they are going to use or just use what you scrape, or maybe use another knife for butter/jam etc.

When I were a kid, my dad would go spare if he found toast crumbs in the butter

I once tried to start a campaign called CTOBBITS - the Campaign To Obliterate Black Bits In The Sugar. We had communal tea/coffee at work and I got pissed off with people stirring their drink and THEN putting the spoon in the sugar jar. I care a lot less now, I don't use sugar

@jd0272 have you tried marmite on your bacon sarnies? beats salt & pepper every time!

@Phil_aka_Pip

CTOBBITS, Lol. Yes, I heartily agree that is another Firing Squad Offence. You inherited good habits from your Dad.

I know I'm anal about things, but there is no excuse for this level of grossness.
