Butter Or Olive Oil On Bread?

[+ José Soplanucas]

With bread? Anything.

Put any meal between two slices of bread and will be delicious.

I asked a rep for an Italian oil producer, who was himself Italian, if Italians dipped bread in olive oil, or if that was a practice that American foodies had dreamed up. He said he had never seen it in Italy until restaurants started doing it because American tourists started asking for it.

Good olive oil has become hard to find. It's been forever since I have had real full, fruity olive oil. Everything from the store is just kind of grassy tasting.

Try this online source, incredibly fast shipping, great service, good California oils

Love olive oil OR butter with bread. Hate it when they mix Balsamic with the olive oil though.

Everything is better with avocado, although I've never tried it as a lube.

 

I could go with that! Especially with a bit of rimming. Now, to feel really decadent, add just a dab (or is it daub) of truffle oil!

Thank you, O Great Earl of Sandwich!! (Maybe he should be beatified?)

Now see we are opposites. I love the balsamic. I could do without the olive oil.

 

And that brings me up to another subject. On subs you can often get oil and vinegar ( whether regular-I’m assuming apple cider type, red wine, or maybe even balsamic) added. I’m sure the oil most sub places use isn’t olive oil. My question is what good does the oil do. It’s tasteless. Why don’t they just spritz on the vinegar?

 

And on another note, you wouldn’t believe my shock back when I lived in Wisconsin when I bit into a sub sandwich and instead of any mayo or mustard it had butter spread on the bread. This wasn’t even garlic butter-just plain butter. It wasn’t only a one time occurrence either. Don’t get me wrong. I love butter-but not really on a sub. Maybe I’m just shocked too easily.

It is traditional in Spain.
