“I won't quarrel with my bread and butter.”
Polite Conversation (1738), Dialogue 1
Yes yes, said she, for all those wise words uttered,
I know on which side my bread is buttered.
But there will no butter cleave on my bread.
And on my bread any butter to be spread.
Every promise that you therein do utter,
Is as sure as it were sealed with butter.
Part II, chapter 7.
Proverbs (1546)
“Besides, they always smell of bread and butter.”
