Who are those sick bastards?

Eg, jam on toast is just that. Jam on top of toast. Not on top of butter.
Same for honey, marmite, whatever.

Bacon sandwich is just that. Bread, bacon, no butter.

I do have butter other times, eg, sliced bread with butter, or in a ham sandwich, or on a roll to accompany soup for example.

That's awful. You can't have MARMITE without something underneath it! How d'you spread it effectively?

With a knife and it seems to work reasonably well tbh. And I do have something underneath it. It's called toast.

That's preposterous. That's like going to bed without a sheet on - your marmite needs support, not to be left alone on that toast.

Think of the marmite.

Frying an egg is dead easy.

Pan, ordinary cooking oil (or fat of your choice) to a couple of mm depth max.
Pan on medium heat for 30-45 secs so there's some heat in the oil, but it's not smoking. If the pan is hot to start then all you wind up with is an egg with a burnt lacy surface that you could use as a frisbee or cut your lip on. Plus you won't have time to cook the white properly before the bottom has turned to plastic.
Break egg into the pan, from fairly close to the pan bottom so it's not falling far.
Flip fat onto the top surface to encourage the white on the top to cook. Optionally you can flip the whole egg, but it will need no more than 10 seconds upside down.

The whole process takes about a minute, cooked white, runny yolk.

It's quite possible to do the same with no fat in a good non stick pan, but that takes a bit more practice.

Incidentally I don't usually butter the bread, especially if bacon and egg butty so the yolk can sink into the bread

Actually when he had marmite on toast yesterday there was butter: as yes you can not spread marmite without butter

Valid point I agree totally, but butter is optional in a bacon butty.

All well and good, but a girl who can make me a good eggs benedict will get a good evening out and an even better night in.

This is true, I make a great eggs benedict & BGG just loves it

How do you know how I sleep ? <looks worried>

Ofc, there is a perfectly logical explanation for that. Let's see if you can guess.

With regards to the Marmite, it truly is the nectar of the gods, and imho, any interference with another ingredient is just tainting the purity of the taste.

Marmite is big and strong enough to stand on it's own two feet and doesn't need support from pseudo-butter substitutes.

OH FFS ! Halo just told me that she's always buttered my Marmite toast.......for 20 yrs...omg....
