Absolutely! You must always try the bread unbuttered first. Then add the butter for the second bite, but that first bite of freshly baked, still steaming bread must be plain to truly experience it’s splendor.
Fun fact, while the Eucharist/communion is given as a special ceremony in most denominations, originally the eating of bread at any time was considered a holy moment.
“For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” In the king James, but many other translations phrase it as “whenever” or “every time” instead of “as often”
Still today, (Christian) Quakers take it this way. You are taking the Eucharist whenever you eat bread (or just eat) or drink wine (or just drink). There is also a belief that every bath is a baptism, and that the sacraments are daily lived experiences.
So, yeah, bread is life, and is holy, and is all things that are good, and yes, I am a diabetic, and I’ll cut out soda, and ice cream, and candy, and even (God help me) potatoes if I have to… But you’ll get my bread over my cold, dead, amputated foot.
Found the heretic
Give me a loaf of bread, and I will eat it and be happy. End of story.
Condiments are nice conditionally, but bread is always fantastic
And freshly baked bread smells and tastes orgasmic
When you crack that loaf and steam comes out.
Adding anything at that moment would ruin the bread.

Nah, butter makes that bread even better, especially when it’s fresh.
You can eat bread without butter, but good luck eating butter without bread
Don’t be trapped by convention. Eat the best part by itself.
Don’t tell me what to do.
