'Bread *and butter'. The English expression requires the second part—but otherwise fits perfectly in your well-stated point, with which I wholeheartedly agree.

Thank you! As a non native speaker I was not sure if “and butter” is a mandatory part but didn’t want (nor had time) to llm the comment for the sake of authenticity :) TIL

Ah, great! I 'took a shot in the dark' there. Glad it 'panned out'. ;)
