There's nothing easier than some sort of paste spread on bread, crackers, fruit,...or eaten straight from the jar.
(Jam is not counted as a spread, it needs a whole new poll to determine which jam is your fave) |

Oooh! Wickedly good choices -- couldn't make this easy for us, could you? Trying to select a favorite was fun, while munching on toast (with plain butter) and drinking my cafe au lait this morning at breakfast. But no, my vote was not for plain butter. |

Don't know that I have a favorite spread but this seems like a good enough spot to say I bought myself a butter "bell" -- one of those earthenware thingies that holds butter upside down in a crock of water to keep it at a spreadable consistency. It's terrific!
I've eyed them in catalogues at $20 (US) and up. When I saw one for $10 at a Whole Foods market, I snatched it up and we're really enjoying it by effortlessly spreading butter on freshly baked bread. Yum!  |

plain butter goes under some of the others, doesn't it?? Butter and Nutella, butter and peanutbutter...I consider 'butter' as a nice little sheet for what comes on top of the bread...so now what to vote?!?!?  |

Sometimes butter can be anything but plain.
You got the Butter with sea salt, with Sel de Guérande or Fleur de Sel which has a taste of iode which is delicious. But it's true that some shameful combinations such as toasted brioche+butter+PB+nutella are just as good.
Choices, choices... |

That was hard! I picked Nutella, but it was only because I couldn't choose from among the likes of hummus and tapenade. I love them too much. _________________ "It's watery....and yet there's a smack of ham."

I'm probably the only one voting for chestnut spread....guess i'm so captivated by it because it's so hard for me to find & is something I associate with being in Paris.....nutella is a co-first choice |

I cast my vote for tapenade, being a bit of a fixation of mine. While living in Australia I was introduced to the "glory" of vegemite! Took a bit of getting used to but I ended up quite liking that savoury spread----really good on English muffins mixed with a bit of peanut butter> (Is that sacrilege??) _________________ Vivant Linguae Mortuae!! |

Agree that we need a new poll for jam, jelly, and preserves. Maybe someone should begin a new thread. I don't even know the difference between jam, jelly, and preserves.
Last night I finished off my oatmeal (after it cooled and hardened and became the consistency of a cake) by topping it with a rasberry preserve (Smuckers) which was terrific. That's the first time in my life that I added a fruit preserve to my oats. Going to have to experiment further with this trend. _________________ ' She says, 'I am the glamorous type.'
