The crunch of the toast vs the softness of the bread. The saltiness and richness of the butter against the spice of the pepper.
It’s got contrast across two food metrics! Beats the shit out of PB&Js, and you don’t get peanut fragments stuck in your teeth.
It’s poverty food (for when butter didn’t cost $20/kg), but it’s not half bad.

If you think you can make something not bland with just butter, salt and pepper, you may be a Brit.

Good butter ain’t bland.

the key is just that the bread has to be properly baked, so with toast you have to… toast it… first.
Untoasted toast with butter is still going to be kinda bland.

Fat and salt are the key ingredients in most fried food, so it’s basically deep fried bread.

Homemade bread with just butter and salt is fucking awesome.

If you think butter is bland you may have broken tastebuds, or really shit butter. You know it’s supposed to come from a cow?

Literally any meat in a pan

Or a German to be honest. They eat just bread with butter. (no toast between!)

Yes, but their bread is good and rough. No idea how their butter is

Not good enough for me to be willing to eat bread with just butter.
