only lurpak will do

[Slartybartfast]

everything else is just grim.

but it is too expensive

Lurpak for me and the kids, husband prefers Margaret for some strange reason. Even my 6 yr old throws a hussy if it's not Lurpak, he can tell straight away.

YABU - Waitrose Brittany butter is the stuff - it has little salt crystals that make all the difference.

Marge obviously, ha!

For block butter, Lidl is actually very good, but for spreadable nothing comes close to Lurpak - makes me feel so extravagant every time I pick it up though.

I use Country Life.
British butter.

(and the spreadable Country Life is delicious - and has the least vegetable fat content of any spreadable butter)

I think the Lidl butter looks a bit strange.

Sparlikg, imo that's because we're not used to "real" butter in this country

Lurpack is that weird continental butter isn't it?

So YABU I have Yorkshire butter and it is the business.

YABU - Lurpak is tops, but President is even nicer - French butter with the same 'cultured' smoothness and shineyness, and is actually the cheapest butter on sale in Sainsbury's atm. (except for 'Basics' which is about 2p cheaper).

Jesus, hussy should be hissy! What with husband preferring Margaret and the 6 yr throwing a hussy - now wonder folk think we are weird!

Hadn't thought of that forward. Lidl's looks more 'rustic'.

YABU, infact YA all BU

The best butter is Beurre d'Isigny. I buy big rolls of it in costco for baking and cooking and it makes SUCH a difference.

oh and I think you can get it in sains too, in their taste the difference range. Try it and see!

I have the lidl danpak stuff in front of me right now & it says in very small writing on the bottom that it is made by...

Kerry Foods, Tralee Road, Listowel, Co Kerry, Ireland.

It tastes ok to me anyway. Which it should do, if it is really Kerry butter.

YABU Anchor is the only way togo!

I stopped buying lurpack a couple of years ago and when I bought myself a secret packet to be only used by me I had gone off it. I didn't dislike it but it was only ok. I think it had an elevated status in my head that it couldn't live up to.

Saying that I have Lurpak coming in my Asda delivery later, because it is on special offer, & because it is the nicest tasting.

so the Lidl one in disguise? Buy that one then!

is kerrygold in disguise, even.

Country life is yummy, the lighter one is on offer at tescos at the mo.

It has to be either Lurpak or real butter.
DH likes "I can't believe it's not butter"

Kerrygold, Country Life and Anchor are all foul - rancid tasting, too salty, too much water in them, bleugh. OK for cooking, though.

the Lidl one is a lactic butter, just like Lurpak- don't think Kerrygold et al are

Lurpak sea salt is lovely

But any butter is infinitely better than the toxic shite that is margerine. Why anyone would eat that foul tasting crap is beyond me.

I am a country life spreadable lover.
