The ‘butter or no butter’ thread has made me curious. My kids reckon loving butter is a generational thing, but I’d be surprised if all the butter lovers on here are over 50.

I’ll start. I’m 67 and I love butter.

Bloody love it and I'm 47!

HappyPunky · 10/11/2018 17:50

39 and I love it!!

42 and I love it, but I hated it until about 10 years ago. I still would never put it in sandwiches though.

44- butter fan (except on sarnies and scones)

blackcat86 · 10/11/2018 17:56

I'm 32. I'd probably choose spread over butter but I don't mind it

BitchQueen90 · 10/11/2018 17:57

I am 28. I don't like spreads or margarine but I love real butter!

Not on scones though. All you need on scones is jam and cream.

48 & 13, we love butter.

LokiBear · 10/11/2018 17:59
  1. Real butter every time
AcrossthePond55 · 10/11/2018 18:01

I love butter. It's my favourite food group. I actually grew up on margarine, butter was for the holiday dinner table, only.

28 and currently staring lovingly at the butter dish on the counter.

sadiesnakes · 10/11/2018 18:02

41 and butter for sure!

LaBelleSauvage · 10/11/2018 18:03
  1. Butter me up.
dusking · 10/11/2018 18:03

I’m 25 and only eat butter on toast, which I don’t have often. I hate butter on sandwiches and the like where it’s not melted

uncoolnn · 10/11/2018 18:04

I'm 25. I don't like butter.

borntobequiet · 10/11/2018 18:05
  1. Good butter, coffee and bread are my three non-negotiables.
Theweasleytwins · 10/11/2018 18:05

Im 27 and love it. My grandad is 87 and loves it

StylishDuck · 10/11/2018 18:06

35 and I love it.

SilentBob · 10/11/2018 18:06
  1. Absolute butter fiend. Daughter is 20. Ditto. I'd rather have a dry sandwich/no sandwich than have some sort of spread on it and I'd definitely have no toast or crumpets at all with spread (unless given to me by a friend or what have you- I'm polite, I'd eat it then, I mean by choice!). I really don't like the artificial taste.
runoutofgasagain · 10/11/2018 18:07

33 and will never go back to spread. It's the devil's food. Butter all the way!

PlainJane007 · 10/11/2018 18:10

52, 49, 17 and 14 year olds all butter lovers 😋

shirleyschmidt · 10/11/2018 18:12

30 and never thought about it until just now! I enjoy butter AND spread (not together).

Spankyoumuchly · 10/11/2018 18:12

I love butter lumps on crusty bread. I'm 45.

HoundOfTheBasketballs · 10/11/2018 18:12
  1. No butter here, thank you. I'm trying to reduce my meat and dairy consumption.
woodwaj · 10/11/2018 18:13

32 and I love butter!

babasaclover · 10/11/2018 18:13

In 36. Grew up on spread yuk. Now fully on real butter only. M&S do a lovely one with salt crystals in. You can't beat it. Better for you anyway as it's natural, spreads are all chemicals
