People have started eating chocolate with butter but its completely normal in this country

Unusual food combinations have been all the rage for a while now, especially with such viral hits such as onion and peanut butter, and fruit roll-up with ice-cream! Even Oreos and sushi combo has had its viral moment in the last couple of months.

Now, another viral combination has just hit the Internet and this one involves having butter with chocolate bar: both delicious in their own right but how does a mélange of the two even work?

Turns out that eating slabs of butter with solid chocolate is completely normal in France. Here's how people are doing it and what foodies have to say about this new trend.

Viral butter and chocolate combo on TikTok

It all started when a France-based American mom @isabellebertolami shared how French children like to eat baguettes with a stick of butter and chocolate slab sandwiched inside. Her caption states,

French kids don’t have an after school snack…they have a gouter!

She then shows herself cutting into a fresh baguette and then putting a tablet of chocolate and a stick of butter inside to create a sandwich-dessert of sorts. It quickly caught on, with people loving the simplicity of it while enjoying the refreshing take on an after-school snack.

A different food TikToker @onbooudespates has taken this one step further by completely foregoing the bread. They has been sharing videos of them eating straight-up sticks of butter with chocolate. And they are clearly not being shy when it comes to the quantity that they are consuming.

Reactions to the butter and chocolate-eating videos

While eating copious amount of butter with chocolate has not been a hit with most viewers, as mentioned above, people are loving the French version of an after-school snack with choclate and butter sandwiched inside a baguette.

One helpful commenter pointed out that the TikToker's caption was flawed since 'gouter' itself translates to after-school snack. They wrote,

gouter is an after school snack thats literally what it is. my au pair kid would scream at me if i didnt bring him gouter immediately at school

Another viewer left a comment of similar lines saying,

This is the literal definition of an after school snack

To this, the mom responded saying,

It’s just a playful way to show what an afterschool snack looks like in France and teach a French word

Many viewers wanted to try the snack. One quipped,

I want to be a French school child

Another wrote,

My husband still has this as a snack before dinner. oui oui oui!
