neutralzone<EM>Lets not <STRONG>bitch!<STRONG><EM> Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 After working & eating with the French for some time, I have only found 3 instances of where I am allowed butter with my bread They are as follows:1. Butter with RADISH 2. Butter with COOKED MEAT3. Butter with SARDINES Every time I query these bizarre recipes all I get is c'est normale DavidBest thing is though............... if there is any spare butter left they fight over who gets to spread it on their bread!!!!!!!!!Anyway I'm curious If any one else knows of any other French sanctioned use of Butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Always with sea food in Brittany. Never known so much butter used anywhere else, other than Normandy and rarely had any in Provence or Dordogne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill<br><br>Jill (99) Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I've never seen butter on a table in a French household except for bread and butter for breakfast, but otherwise I've only seen it used for frying. Perhaps that's why the French are slimmer (if they really are - can't say I noticed myself). Doesn't make any difference to me either - i.e. the fact I don't have butter on bread - although I do like it when it melts on muffins, crumpets, toast, potatoes, haricots verts!
