Judge my tub of butter...

[Hagnumber4]

I have a theory that you can tell a lot about a person's disposition by the state of their butter/marg.

Anyone else dare to bare all?

What to you think I'm like based on my tub? It's "I can't believe it's not butter" (photo probably awaiting approval

Love mine.

Real salted butter only.

Always salted butter here too, usually own brand, but used to be longleys when I could get it.
I love my butter dish from sostren green? (Sic?)

It’s from house of disaster. I’ve only just moved on from anchor spreadable to proper butter purely because I love the dish!

This. Better for you. Leave it on the side in a butter dish so it’s easier to spread. Margarine in just chemicals.

We use real butter. My son is coeliac so we are super strict about ‘double dipping’ Separate butter knife and no crumbs at all in the butter!

My partner is thinking I’ve lost the plot “what are you doing?”
Me “uploading a picture of our butter to Mumsnet”🤭
We also have a milk allergy in the house! The tub is quite tidy for us to be honest! Maybe because it’s quite new!

Big block is the new bit i added this evening. Proper butter from a local farm delivered by the milkman. Delicious.

i judge that you actually buy that abomination of a ‘foodstuff’.

I really want this butter dish (sorry to any marg fans and no offense - it just made me laugh when I saw it 😁)

Also, Irish butter is the best 🇮🇪

Butter eaters - talk to me about butter dishes, I’d like a new one, can see from my photo it got damaged. Do i want the same style again or the reverse where it sits deep in the butter dish?? I can’t decide!

Irish butter is the best if you’re in Ireland. I always buy British produce if possible because I’m in, erm, Britain! Here is my butter dish with the butter I will be putting in it once I’ve unwrapped it. We buy separate butter for cooking, cheaper but still British.

I am Irish but live in England. I still rate Kerrygold! The salted kind.

Lurpak can burn in hell

Anyone got butter pats? I inherited a pair, but the only time I used any was when I worked in a hotel in the summer, and we had to serve little circles of butter with a stamp on the top.

Im crying at this😂😂😂

Country life here. I only use it on toast (occasional) so a block lasts over well a month (2 adults).

Two of us, I generally buy 3 a week, sometimes 4.

How do you go through so much butter with just two people?

We do have a butter dish (circular, TG Green blue stripes) but rarely use it because I find the butter goes a bit pre-rancid after a couple of days unless it's the dead of winter. (and no, we don't have a warm kitchen! I think it's the proximity to the oven)

I keep the butter in its foil, in the fridge, and bring it out for cooking or spreading. I have been known to pare off wafer thin slices and eat while cooking.

Current butter is Yeo Valley (was on offer in Waitrose) but I'm afraid I usually get Aldi or Lidl own brand, unless something branded is on offer. (I'll admit to buying Flora Buttery for sponge cakes only, it really works for them.)

If any crumbs are left in the butter I get very cross. It won't have been me, anyway. If crumbs of baked potato are left in the butter I go spare.

Your butter dish is GORGEOUS

@GlomOfNit thank you. It’s from Cosmo China, as are all my mugs and various other bits and pieces https://www.cosmochina.co.uk/

We always have this
Drawback is it doesn't fit any butter dish and oozes salty water that leaves crystals on the worktop
Tastes so good I could forgive it anything though

West Country salted butter is top tier!! My absolute favourite butter. I love when you bite into your toast and feel a big crunch of the salt 😋

I’m away on holiday or I would! We have a tub of clover though so all the butter snobs would be diverting their attention to me I’m sure. I’ve never liked the taste of real butter for some reason, and I prefer something easy to spread.

Sandwiches, cooking, mashed potatoes, white sauce, baking, DH likes a bit of bread and butter with his dinner, late night slice of toast. I buy three generally but I like to know I’m not going to run out. There are certain things that I will always have extra in the cupboard/fridge as I don’t like the idea of not having them (butter, tuna, mayo, tinned tomatoes, baked beans, ketchup, HP, marmite, tomato purée, Coleman’s mustard, teabags) There’s usually one still unopened in the fridge when the shopping is an unpacked.

@user2255679541where do you get the nice round stick of Isigny Saint Mere? 🤔 Ours comes in a regular block shape from Ocado
