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.

I’ve never dared try it @ThatMuppetShow but it was quite the health fad last year. Something to do with the keto diet, I think?

But if we’re all upping our butter consumption...?

What brands ARE butter?

I'm not in UK, but I buy either Kerrygold or when I want spreadable butter I buy Connacht Gold Softer Butter. It doesn't have vegetable oil mixed in, it's pure butter.

Fresh bread, dipped in extra virgin olive oil? Yum!

Oooh, nothing beats toasted bread, with a garlic clove dragged across it, then olive oil poured over, with sliced tomatoes and avocado. Yum indeed.

Tottie it's bulletproof coffee. Coffee with coconut oil and or butter. If you blend it right, it's like a white coffee. It's very filling, good for skipping a meal.

What brands ARE butter?

anything you find in your supermarket: Tesco has "Tesco salter - or unsalted- butter", Asda and Sainsburys the same, I buy yeo valley butter too. It just says "butter' on the pack - among a see of rubbishy substitute .

My parents only ever bought marg so I was raised on it but I loved it when I went to my best friends house. They had real butter in a butter dish and fresh bread. Amazing. Now I'm an adult we have a butter dish and real butter. Will never eat marg again. Awful stuff.

Yep. I buy own brand block butter. And keep in the butter dish out of the fridge apart from in the height of summer. Better for you and also better for the environment as no plastic tub.

Butter fan here too.
Proud to say I've always eaten it, even when it wasn't fashionable to!

bulletproof coffee
I have just googled that, sounds weird but why not.
I do stay away with most "substitute", you are probably better off with a banana, but as a one-off, might try one day.

I knew it was a crazy name @picklemepopcorn

Filling, you say? Might actually try it. I hate breakfast.

Kerry gold ISNT butter, I'm pretty sure??

This was always a Flora Buttery household but obviously I’ve binned that now and have got butter arriving today. Also popping out later to find a cute butter dish 👍🏻

So with veggies do I cook them like I normally do and then pan fry in a bit of butter?

I think there will be an awful lot more butter-only households from now on

When I lived in England I liked Lurpak salted.

Butter only in this house. I wouldn't feed marge to my worst enemy.

I have also recently discovered the joy that is chicken fat. Every time I roast a chicken, I make stock with all the bones and skin, then skim off the fat and keep in a little jar in the fridge to be used any time I'd usually use oil for cooking. Makes everything x10 tastier.

Should have put a vote on this one.
YANBU.

It is. It's Kerrygold, no space.

It's my favourite hard butter, but I mostly use the Connacht Gold Softer Butter, because it comes in a tub and softens fairly fast once out of the fridge for my breakfast toast.

I ❤ my Lakeland butter dish.
I've converted DH too.

Kerrygold is NOT butter.

Kerrygold is NOT butter.

It is. I think you're mixing it up with various spreads that use the word 'gold' to cover up the fact that they're marg.

Unsalted butter all the way - French if at all possible.

I do my roast potatoes in butter - they are LOVELY!

I have a rather nice Le Creuset butter dish which I use for butter I need to be soft - otherwise use it straight from the fridge on toast as I don't like it to melt and sink in.

Margarine is disgusting but very difficult to get butter on a sandwich when you go into a shop to get one made.

I love butter and sometimes sneak a bit to eat on its own, when cooking. I’d have to take a fridge full of butter to my desert island. Butter on fresh sourdough, on mashed potato, in baking - never use margarine except when faddy dairy-free relatives come to stay (and they are faddy as they’re always changing what they can and can’t have, not an actual allergy)

Graham’s is my favourite, don’t like lurpak.

Kerrygold is NOT butter.

Um, you’ve never been more mistaken in your life.

Are you thinking of dairygold?

...Kerrygold do a pure butter 'softer butter' as well, but it doesn't sell as well as the Connacht Gold here, for some reason.

And I want that whale dish! 🐳

Lurpak with everything. Crumpets drenched in Lurpak is my favourite breakfast.
