I don’t have one any more. I just cut a chunk of dromona from the block and put it into one of those plastic takeaway tubs.

You know, I really miss butter. I don't know how we got in the habit of just picking up spread as a default. I think I need a butter dish in my life.

I have the glass cow dish. You all know what it looks like.

And I don't think these posts are childish at all. The more people who know the difference between butter and spread/margarine the better.

When I rule the world it will be a hanging offence to try and pass off spread as butter or try to claim that you've 'run out of butter' when you are a supermarket cafe. Asda, I'm looking at you.

No-one wants anything but actual butter on crumpets or scones, vegans and dairy allergic excepted, obviously.

I was looking on Amazon and ebay last night for a more exciting one - I already have a plain white crockery one. I didn't find any I liked for under £25.

I have 3 butter dishes Blush

This one we use when we go on holiday We bought it in France one year when we realised we had nothing to keep the butter in and used it ever since as it has a handy clip on lid.
We also have a plain ceramic one and a 'Douglas' Lurpac butter dish

This one. Every time there's a thread on here about butter dishes, there's usually lots of posts about the glass cow butter dish, which seems to be fairly ubiquitous.

But it seems that we use ours upside down as we treat it as a plate with a cover, rather than a dish with a lid, IYSWIM?

We use a saucer and a cup as a substitute butter dish on holiday.

Possibly the most boring butter dish ever.

I have this Burleigh one - I asked for a butter dish for my birthday a few years ago and my DM gave me this one. I love it. Grew up in a margarine household but was convinced that going back to the old ways was best and now only have butter.

I don't have one, but if I did it'd be a French one like this.

We have the Emma Bridgewater Toast one, which was a wedding present. The lid has been superglued back together twice (and won’t last much longer) because my toddler has an obsession with the contents of it...

This has reminded me to ask for a new butter dish for Christmas!

I have it in red with a violet spreader.
Stylish fucker that I am.

😂😂 that’s so funny, I really can’t see cat carrier, but probably because I know what it is! Lol. Here’s a real life photo that might be better!

Got a plain white ceramic one picked up from Sainsbury’s years ago.
Googling now, there’s some really festive ones, but I just can’t justify buying while still having a perfectly good one.

After the earlier butter thread, I've ordered this one
