If I buy really nice butter

[DirtyDancing]

I can't stop eating it. I could live off really nice bread and butter. I am going to have to buy some not very nice butter so I am less tempted! I think it's my favourite thing to eat.

Anyone else adore good butter!

The local shop started stocking Rodda butter recently. Happy days for me.

@Foxglovesandlilacs86

There’s a brand in sainsburys that’s my favourite, it’s very salty , Isigny saint mere or something.

Kerrygold is also good but lurpak tastes of nothing to me! Also like the Aldi one with sea salt flakes in!

I'll have to try the Isigny-I love their creme fraiche.

I'm addicted to Sainsbury's Farmhouse butter. It used to be on the deli counters but since they are no more it's with the lesser butters.

I used to like their butter with cornish salt. Not done a big shop there for a while, though.

I don't like posh butter. The Abernethy stuff is an oxidised disappointment. Give me good old Dromona or Ballyrashane any day.

Unsalted the best

Unsalted the best

Sacrilege! 😂

News just in (for me anyway)

Lidl Deluxe West Country Butter now comes in a spreadable version. I haven't tried it yet.

Off to do an early Xmas shop in Tesco tomorrow as I have some vouchers I have. Any Tesco butter tips? I never shop there usually so am clueless about butter offerings

Salted butter all the way.. extra salt added if I'm feeling decedent

@FOJN
It’s lovely 🐷🐷🐷
I buy them four at a time when I do my Lidl stock up along with their West Country crunchy cheddar strength 5 (in my defence they are quite little tubs) 🐷

I love pretty much all butter. My favourite is the President Beurre D'Isigny...I buy it from costco and am soooooooo happy when I slice off little rounds from the end and lay them on my bread, or toast. I try to hide it from dh, his mother likes flora.

I haven't tired that aldi one, I am going to though.

if you make your own be sure and do ALLLLLLLLL the rinsing...and them some more rinsing otherwise it goes sour very quickly.

Oh god yes...salted butter really does have to be an occasional treat in our house - I can't stay away from it

FOJN the spreadable is ok but not as salty as the block version.

This will be like mentioning scrumpy on a champagne thread, but has anyone else had problems with Countrylife spreadable separating if it warms up? My teens keep leaving it out on a worktop that gets the sun. We now have a pot with 3 components: butter fat, ordinary looking spreadable and puddles of watery milk. Lurpak spreadable doesn’t do it.

@MrsMouse03

I love this butter from M&S or Ocado as a treat on toast or bread.

Another vote for this - great taste, colour and texture.

(That was the M&S Cornish Gold for me, didn’t bring the picture with it.)

I take your incredible range of butters on breads and raise you.... Crusty hot toast with butter melted in all oozy and THEN cold hard butter spread on top... Best of both worlds! Go for the double layer people!
Some friends also made me deep fried butter as a birthday treat once - it's a thing at some American state fairs. You put oblongs of butter in the freezer, put them on wooden sticks, cover them with a brown sugar/cinammon batter and deep fry them very quickly. Amazing stuff!!

Shirgar Welsh salted butter. Hot toast. The dream.

his mother likes Flora There’s a whole back story in those few tragic words!

@JamMakingWannaBe

I have NEVER seen this posh butter in my local Lidl!! WHY??

I'm going in tomorrow to ask them to stock it!

I live between two Lidls and only one of them sticks this butter. It's so good.

My Butter Thoughts:

Butter is delicious.

Kerrygold is my go-to.

The popularity of Lurpak baffles me. Awful stuff.

I'm not madly keen on French butter. That tang from the cultures doesn't work for my common palate.

Unsalted butter is an abomination.

That Willow stuff that is some kind of evil marg sitting amongst real butters and dressed up as one of them, therefore tricking unsuspecting butter seekers into buying it, angers me every time I see it.

@AdaColeman

The last time I saw butter being sold from a huge slab was in Glasgow in about 1977. We were staying on the West Road near a hotel called The Pond, and were wandering the nearby streets on our way to catch an underground train, when I spotted a wonderful grocery shop. Unable to resist the mound of golden butter, we watched as our butter was deftly shaped into a round with wooden paddles, and stamped with the shop’s name, then neatly parcelled up for us. A real delight to watch, and a joy to buy. It brought back happy childhood memories for me, as many places used to sell butter that way, though not all as artistically done as that Glasgow west end shop.

What a lovely memory

@boatyardblues Look at the ingredients of Country Life Spreadable, there’s your answer… only 50% is butter, then 25% rapeseed oil and 25% water. So no wonder it separates out into its sorry little puddles.

Buy some real butter, enrich your life!

@ihatethecold

There’s a Welsh butter from Ocado that is so good as is Aldi’s salt Crystal one.

Is that shirgar?
