I’ve just eaten lemon curd on toast but had the distinct impression that I had guilded the Lilly.
Guy’s buttering instructions above are spot on and mostly I think toast should be left there.
Marmalade - I’ve called it nasty jam since around '66 - can fuck off. The flavour is fine but who the fuck wants to come across fucking bogeys in their morning spread?
Only during war times.
Guys Lemon curd is transcendental. Having eaten a jar full in one sitting for research purposes, the resultant zesty sugar rush made me feel like a member of Earth wind and fire without the coke hangover.
Honey on toast is good. I have to wait until Mrs VB is not looking though. She says honey is ‘mugging the bees’. It takes 12 bees their entire lives to make one teaspoonful of honey. Good. It’s what they’re for.

We’re on to toppings now.
This thread is toast. 
Marmalade with huge shreds is the king of
breakfast toast toppings.
Very closely followed by Marmite (which is questionable as it has become watered down and limp in recent years)
Improved by placing sliced tomato on top then grilling
something has definitely changed. The squeezy Marmite has a higher water content.
Never bought into that.
I still seek out the 500g glass jars of Marmite. Most places have stopped selling them.
Not everyone likes Marmite.
Precactly 
I always thought you were okay.
Lols. Not everyone likes shredded marmalade
Marmalade, like mince pies, is generally at its finest when home made. My preference is for some I get from a beekeeping woman in Sussex who includes a bit of the honey in the mix. I’m not a fan of the heavy, dark, thick cut variety either. That said I’ve also had orange jam rather than marmalade & it doesn’t work at all. it does need some shred but preferably cut very fine.
Away from home made, we come to the minefield that is shop bought marmalade. My Sussex supplies recently ran out & until I can get more I’m looking at the various supermarket offerings. Two I’ve tried recently are a Sainsburys 3 fruits type which was tangy but with a slightly metallic almost hard edge to it.
And a ‘Deluxe’ type from Lidl made from Seville oranges & supposedly with some Scotch Whisky in it which actually tastes pretty good for a shop bought example.
But I’d be interested to hear other shop bought recommendations. years ago I’d buy Wilkins Tiptree Double One but haven’t recently. Must try that again.
Finally, what’s the connection between Scotland (& particularly Dundee) with Marmalade? It’s not as if Scotland is a renowned source of nice oranges. How did that tradition come about? Fruit imports?
Marmalade on toast with a piping hot mug of tea is king
Not everyone likes tea either.
Tea is generally pretty disgusting.
I like tea.
