BUTTER is the business

[Rocktheboot]

Thanks to Highfields I have rediscovered the joy of butter this weekend. Toast is DELICIOUS with butter instead of flora on it. Am thinking cupcakes will be twice as nice.

You mean in America they replace fat with.....water?

I don't think they replace fat with water, but churn it less. So it's not as butterfat-rich.

And the shape is just all wrong.

You aren't thinking of Clover are you? It's a blend of butter and oil I think.

Do I win a prize if I'm right ?

Can I just throw in an obligatory one of these for Flora too 🖕🖕🖕? Ok, that was three sorry, not sorry.

🖕🏻Ahahahah! Never seen that before.

I think I have found a new favourite smiley to replace 🙄

🖕🏻🖕🏻😃🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Ahahahah! Never seen that before

Glad to be of service! It's one of my personal faves. I've used it a lot today...

No FeckOffGraham it was KerryGold Soft or Kerrygold spreadable.

Yes please throw in as many 🖕 to Flora as you like. Horrible stuff with a overly wokey aftertaste.

Only think besides butter I'd spread on my hot toast is Chris Hemsworth.

thing!

I stopped eating margarine when I read that flies won't eat it.

Another one calling Sanctimonious Pricks.

We use butter. Friends came round the husband was in ecstasy about our butter his wife always bought Gold lightest. He went home and looked at the ingredients on it, threw it in the bin and they bought butter from then on in.

Ive been to waitrose and treated myself to two blocks of Kerrygold and got an extra block of normal butter (Waitrose essentials).

I'm a happy woman, just found butter in heron foods for £1 250g.

I did a taste test this morning, and spread some Lurpak spreadable, Kerrygold block and Tesco salted block butter on my toast. Surprisingly the Tesco one was my favourite, although I think I need to try this again. I will do a blind taste test on DH as well.

Butter is gorgeous . Glad im not the only soul who loves butter. I make my own flavoured butters too.

I think Anchor is my favourite. but I might try some locally produced butters

Get some double cream and your food processor. Or a jam jar, actually give the kids a jam jar with double cream in ad get them to make it on a rainy afternoon.

My parents buy some god awful low fat spread. Absolute shite. It's rank.

If you want some if the best butter in the world, get yourself some Longley Farm butter.

Try Abernathy butter if you ever get the opportunity!
We’re a Golden Cow household . I buy about 6lbs of it when it’s on offer .

@sashh happy childhood memories of making butter from the cream skimmed off the top of the milk bottles 🤗

@Ginfordinner I love your commitment

Which seems not possible now. What was it with milk in the past? It used to be really creamy. I remember I hated the clots in my cereal. Milk today seems more watery? But I even tried expensive raw organic milk once, thinking it would be like milk of bygone days, but it was more or less the same fat-wise as modern milk

Butter should be thick enough to leave tooth prints
DD often asks would I like some toast with my butter.

The vast majority of milk is homogenised now. Personally I prefer it.

I secretly want one of these: www.butterbell.com/# I imagine it filled with delicious butter which I bought at the farmers market on a beautiful sunny day. Sadly I never get out of the house in time for our local farmers market but the fantasy is great.

Yes Errol, I much prefer it too. But even modern non-homogenised milk (from Sainsburys) seems to be watery as well. At one point I became obsessed with trying to figure out why milk (and cream) is so different from the way I remembered and brought all these different types and brands of milk to test them. Perhaps it's just me not recollecting the past properly. Perhaps it's what they were feeding the cows...

I mostly have flora because less calories. Butter is so much tastier though!
