Butyraceous (pronounced byoo-tuh-rey-shuhs)
Of the
nature of, resembling, or containing butter.
1660–1670:
A compound word, the construct being the Latin būtȳr(um) + -aceous. Butyro-, a combining form of Latin būtȳrum (butter) was borrowed from the Ancient Greek
βούτῡρον (boútūron) and -aceous was from the New Latin, derived from
the Classical Latin -aceus (of a
certain kind) and related to –ac & -ax, the Latin adjectival suffixes. The construct of the Ancient Greek βούτῡρον was βοῦς (boûs) (cow) + τυρός (turós)
(cheese). Synonyms include buttery,
waxy, slippery, creamy, oiled, lubricant, lustrous, polished, rich, sleek,
smooth, soapy, soothing, swimming, unctuous, adipose, oleaginous, lardy,
lubricative & lubricous.
Making
fake Sizzler cheese toast
Ingredients
(1) Thick
sliced bread.
(2) Butter
(room temperature).
(3) Pecorino
cheese (shredded or grated).
Instructions
(1) Combine
equal amounts of butter with parmesan and mix to create a paste.
(2) Using
suitable knife, spread the butter/cheese paste on one side of bread.
(3) Pan-fry
the bread paste-side down in frying pan over a medium heat and place a lid or
flat plate over bread so it can steam while cooking. Cook until golden brown and serve.
Notes
Sizzler has always used only white bread but it works with wholemeal or wholegrain varieties. The recipe is best in its simple form but garlic powder, dried herbs or small quantities of sliced or grated onion can be added to the mix. Some recommend beating the butter before adding the cheese. This doesn’t affect the taste but is said both to reduce the cooking time and produce a toast with a slightly different texture. Margarine should not be used.
