My dear other half offered me some toast, or which I took one bite and refused to eat..... He had used margarine not butter.

He said I am a stuck up bitch. in a light hearted jokey manner

So would you decline toast made with Marg? Envy

We keep the butter out of the fridge Blush

We haven’t got sick yet...

bobstersmum · 19/01/2018 21:51

Margarine is banned in this house, it's not even food it's just mush.
Only best butter as my mum calls it!

DoubleNegativePanda · 19/01/2018 21:52

I probably wouldn't refuse to eat it, but I definitely wouldn't like it. Margarine is yucky, imo.

TwitterQueen1 · 19/01/2018 21:54

You don't need to spread it Buster and Julie, you just cut a slice a lay it on top of whatever you're eating.

But actually it does spread - I don't get why you can't do it? Anything vaguely warm like toast will melt it enough to spread it.

DextroDependant · 19/01/2018 21:54

We don't keep it in the fridge either, that's how it spreads nicely. In the butter dish in the cupboard.

Last Tango in Margate uses marge.

LTB. What is he trying to do to you?!

MsVestibule · 19/01/2018 21:56

Why are people saying butter doesn't spread on toast? Of course it does! We keep ours out of the fridge and while in this cold weather it might need a bit of 'encouragement', it's certainly better than marg!

BusterGonad · 19/01/2018 21:57

Twitter on toast maybe, but NEVER on bread, and yes, I've always kept it out of the fridge-my kitchen is very cold!

Throw it away so it can never ever happen again.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 19/01/2018 22:00

Marge on toast is better than butter! Butter on toast is sickly and meh. Amazing on fresh bread though.

MsVestibule · 19/01/2018 22:00

bobsters so does my mum! She's in her 70s now, is it a generational thing?

I remember being in a cafe with her in the 90s, when butter wasn't used as much as it is now, so it was unusual to get it in a cafe. I was mortified when she said to the young waitress, 'ooh, best butter!' very enthusiastically Grin.

Idontdowindows · 19/01/2018 22:02

Oh, that's grim and it's obvious he's LTB (left the butter Grin)

How did marg even get into your house? Who let down their guard? HOW COULD THEY?

TwitterQueen1 · 19/01/2018 22:03

Is it acceptable to all gang up on Hunter? I know trolls aren't normally allowed but I think this counts as exceptional circumstances...

Ruffian · 19/01/2018 22:04

Marge?? Good lord, where does one even buy Marge?

FluffyWuffy100 · 19/01/2018 22:04

I like marge

bluescreen · 19/01/2018 22:04

How do you even know it's marg? I don't even know what it tastes like.

hungryhippo90 · 19/01/2018 22:04

I didn’t know Marge was such a no-no on here glad to say our family uses proper butter. Yum

Stickaforkinimdone · 19/01/2018 22:05

Taxi for hunter....

OP your BF is dirty fucker. A rotter if you will! You must leave immediately lest you run the risk of being served the same again at breakfast

DextroDependant · 19/01/2018 22:06

Blue I used to be poor growing up, we ate Marg Sad I am still in therapy

When I first stayed over at DP’s house he brought me toast in bed. It had marg on it and I nearly gagged when I took the first bite. Had to wash it down with lots of tea and then made sure next time we were at a shop to buy butter!

bobstersmum · 19/01/2018 22:07

MsVestibule my mum is also 70s!

Sallystyle · 19/01/2018 22:08

Butter only.

I have been known to take my own butter into work as I can't stand the marge they only ever have.

If it's so cold it's hard to spread you simply put it in the microwave for a few seconds.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 19/01/2018 22:08

My mum used to make sandwiches with Stork. I’d be waiting to leave for school, watching her slather on the marg, me stood opposite scraping it back off again!

CauliflowerBalti · 19/01/2018 22:09

OMG. YANBU. LTB.
