Who is right, me or DH? Crucial butter question!

[JaneS]

I am about to make hot cross buns and DH is going out to get some ingredients. We need butter, but are currently (no, I'm not going there ...) arguing terminology.

I say it's a 'pat of butter'; DH says the correct term for a block of butter is a 'brick'. WTF?

Please reassure me that butter comes in pats, not 'bricks'?!

Hope you're feeling the importance of this one, btw ...

Any kind of butter is a magnet for crumbs. But spreadable butter does not do what it says on the tin.

Its not spreadable, and its not butter! Its all wrong.

You are so right! See, this is why I love MN. I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell us we're nuts, but for now, all is right in the world and spreadable butter is just wrong.

[bugrin]

spreadable butter is spreadable.

just not on bread

pat of butter (called that as they were patted into shape with wooden 'pats)

here

Block of butter is apt nowadays.

Your dh is talking out of his arse.
