Real butter or one of the spreadable alternatives?

[Beagler]

We used to eat margarine but now At 73 years old beggar it we now eat Lurpak like we did when me mum bought it when we were kids.

@flatliner, we've used several different types of paddle churn (hand and electric), but now just making it in a Kenwood food mixer.

Do about 1kg at a time, every other day. Freeze the surplus for winter.

(Wife is the butter maker, not me. I milk the cows).

Lurpak you heathens... real butter went out the window when they messed with the milk.

You of all people ought to be buying 'Red Tractor' British - not Danish, or their bacon for that matter you heathen !
You should know better Timothy

when on a very rare occasion I go to a cafe there is a cafe in town owned by an irishman and he only uses salted irish butter, sausages etc and sourdough bread
not the cheapest place in town, but the plates always emptied and you don’t need anything until tea time - everything is bloody delicious, best cafe on my radar
in fact might just pop in tomorrow

Marg is highly processed crap!
The whole anti diary lobby is a construct of US marketing.
Pushing addictive overly cheap poison, hence the fat folk all over the place.

Country life. I like the idea of real butter but don't have the patience waiting for it to get spreadable, just annoying ripping my bread as I try to spread.

Always keep a pat out of the fridge, in a butter dish. Simple.

 

[Nimrod1960]

Country Life ! Noooo !
Just leave the butter dish in a cool place. Fridges are less than 100yrs old , butter has been around for centuries.

You can't beat real butter but Clover is good and also for baking

I hear you both, but to be honest I try stay out of food shopping decisions. In all honesty, on my radar of how bothered I am about something, butter is way down my list!!

@BenBhoy, indulging in simple pleasures such as real butter will make all the other things bother you a lot less.

waitrose own brand unsalted as i use it for cooking a lot. For toast and bread just sprinkle a bit of maldon on top. best of both worlds.

that or some reserved dripping with the gravy bits in it. Tried the bought drippning which is ok..but the stuff off a roast with the debris is the best.
