WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s Monday, you have the whole week looming ahead, and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

This week: There are times during the day when nothing can beat a good sandwich/hot slice of toast/scone (insert the bread-based carb of your choice here).

But once you’ve got the essentials sorted, what do you use to butter it?
