Can be treated as plural

See the citation that says "the bread-and-butter were good enough". 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:85E7:2E37:E1D6:FA01 11:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. The template thing still says "uncountable" though. It is not uncountable when used in the plural style. 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:85E7:2E37:E1D6:FA01 15:36, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Bread and butter can be plural, but only as uncountable (not “two bread and butter”). There was a discussion that fish and chips should be indicated as uncountable when treated as plural. J3133 (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
