What about bread and butter on its own then?

I can eat toast with butter, but can only eat bread with butter on if it is for a sandwich.

Bread is bread as far as I'm concerned, although I do tend to prefer wholegrain. In terms of brand, I'll usually opt for supermarket own-brand, or whatever happens to be the cheapest available. Rare that I buy it, but one can't beat the taste of a freshly baked loaf.

that bread stance is appropriate for you, Sparkly. ‘The Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and butter’ doesn’t work so well.
