Does anyone

Ever eat proper butter nowadays? I have utterly butterly and cant imagine ever going back to having to try and melt the butter spread on bread

[Jillius]

No, since discovering Clover I would never go back to butter. It's so hard it rips your bread ! I love clover cos it spreads well and tastes exactly like butter.

[andrea81]

I do if my hubby will let me, but he thinks i'll end up clogging my arteries!

You have to leave it out in a buter dish though! yum, nice and salty!

[4getmenot]

I do agree nice in a jacket potato but never buy the stuff, only if baking, and thats about once in a blue moon

[LoftyLottie]

Yes, I use Lurpak but the spreadable variety. Came to the conclusion years ago that I didn't really like any of the other spreads at all. Spreadable Lurpak is just butter with the addition of some veg. oil to make it softer and the oil doesn't alter the taste.

And I only like Lurpak butter.

[LoftyLottie]

If you look at all the additives in the other spreads.................

[annie0000]

I use it all the time - it is better for your joints - I don't buy the speadable - I just plan ahead and take a chunk out of the fridge before I need to use it. I have found though that Sainsburys Organic butter doesn't seem to go as hard as some of the others for some reason

[4getmenot]

blinking pricey though is Lurpac. It makes me laugh the different shop brands of Cant believe its not butter and what they call them Nettos is funny 'What not butter!!' :-)

[LoftyLottie]

I am not organised enough to take it out the fridge beforehand, Annie. ;o)

[LoftyLottie]

Yes, it's pricey, but worth it. I would rather have no spread now than forsake butter.

I only ever use butter for cooking, an ideal additive to making creamy mashed potatoes, along with milk. When I was young 'marg' wasnt really used that widely. I recall my mum softening the butter under the grill at teatime.

Butter just rips the bread apart.

[4getmenot]

But Margerine when I was young was hideous and then they bought out the I cant believe its not butter

[annie0000]

you could always nuke it for a few seconds - nothing can beat golden toasted white bread spread with lightly salted real butter - Mmmmmm.

Or on warm scones fresh from the oven - that reminds me of my grandad - he alway baked fresh scones when we went to visit and always had real butter - we only had crap margarine at home, so it was a real treat.

[LoftyLottie]

When I was young it was Butter (salted or unsalted) for spreading, Stork Margarine or lard for cooking.

There was an advert where people were interviewed and given bread spread with 'Stork' to try and they couldn't tell Stork from butter. Stork margarine tasted absoultely foul!!!

[4getmenot]

When I nuke butter I just get the hard butter still layin in a pool of really melted butter than would just run off a knife

[LoftyLottie]

Something that can beat your buttered toast for me Annie - the addition of Marmite!!

[cruella]

I only ever use Lurpac spreadable or Clover.
Clover is really nice, the nearest taste to butter.
I have Lurpac for the odd treat.

[annie0000]

Never tasted marmite - I somehow never felt the need!

Also never had fish finger sandwiches - must be loads of other things I have never tried, but we wont go into that just now!!!!

[LoftyLottie]

Think I want some lunch now - all this talk of bread, toast and butter!!

I like my toast to cool down before I put the butter on, I don't like it when the butter melts into the toast! I also like the butter thick (very healthy!!! ha ha)

[LoftyLottie]

I can't be without Marmite. It's my comfort food and I never let it run out that would be a total tragedy!

[LoftyLottie]

............but I don't like jam at all.
