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 love butter! Marge just tastes vile and has no place in my house.

I have a Denby Greenwich butter dish to match my other crockery.

President butter is the nicest I've found (so far)
They also do one in its own round plastic dish thing with lumps of salt. It is very salty but on toast it is the food of the gods

Considering margarine isn’t sold in Britain, I’d like to know where you are all seeing it.

Nothing to do with Highfields but I stopped eating plastic years ago. Butter is a thing of joy.

I've just made my Christmas cakes (with a mixture of Kerrygold butter and local Schwarzwaldmilch butter) and my god is there anything that tastes better than creamed butter and brown sugar? I could have eaten it with a spoon...

what?? margarine IS sold in Britain @ooopsa

margarine isn’t sold in Britain

Apparently if you go by the US definition it isn't, but that definition isn't a UK definition:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margarine

Spread, margarine, whatever.

What everyone needs to realise is that there's butter, which is good and 'not butter' of various types, which are all bad and completely unnecessary, unless you are vegan or allergic to dairy.

What brands ARE butter?

All the ones that call themselves 'butter', instead of 'buttery spread' or some such crap.

margarine isn’t sold in Britain

I don't care whether they call themselves margarine any more or not, or how they may have tweaked their horrible ingredients to sound less evil. They are vile, slimy, plastic-tasting spread, which is what margarine is.

We have to have spread in our house due to my smallest ones dairy allergy.

Christ I miss butter. Glorious salted butter and warm fresh bread

I used to buy Lurpak spreadable as it is much easier than a block of rock hard butter, but realised it's just butter mixed with oil.
That made me feel queasy and so I've gone back to packs of butter in proper dishes. It's so much better than spreads.

My butter dish is very similar to the this one. Watch this space all the fancy shops will be releasing a range. Better than plastic tubs, maybe a biodegradable wrapping on a stick of butter?

Sorry this one

Marge is disgusting filth. Use butter, wonderful stuff, can't be equalled

I'm sticking to marge as butter hates me lol (milk intolerant}

Real butter only here too. Because it's delicious.

I only buy butter, usually Lurpak salted.

Nothing beats homemade though. Not that I'm often bothered to do it, but the taste is divine.

Kerrygold is not only butter, it’s lovely and ethical too.

They are actually a cooperative of lots of small farmers in Ireland, and are absolutely lovely!

They aren’t very good at sharing their information, but having met them and worked with them in the course of my job, I can say I’ve never met such down to earth, and wholesome people, I kind of fell in love with them all, though they’d have been horrified to know it . Much more at home in their fields and looking after their herds than sitting around boardroom tables. Doing their marketing on a shoestring, and fighting to keep space in supermarket chillers as the big boys can buy up so much more should they want to...

A VERY far cry from the slick agencies and marketing departments of other ‘spread’ companies.

Their main problem is trying to show they are genuinely ‘authentic’, small farms with individual faces, a cooperative etc etc, in a world where brands are all paying a fortune to paint themselves authentic and small batches and good ole farmers faces on the packaging etc...

I’ve been a convert to kerrygold ever since . Tastes so, ummm buttery and I actually like the brand for once!

The French eat butter and they're a lot slimmer as a nation than us.

Butter and full fat milk in our house here, cook fresh and don't overeat

I love flora buttery

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

Steak I fry in my cast iron in rapeseed oil on high for that Maillard reaction, then turn down and finish off with a big lump of butter. Then enter a glorious food coma.

My dd's friend went home and told her mum that we eat "funny, spicy butter". So her mum asked me what it was.

"Erm.... just butter. Usually Anchor".

Turns out she's been brought up on Flora "butter'

WHY IS THERE SO MANY POSTS ABOUT BUTTER AND FLORA

I used to buy Flora buttery, then my ILs starting bringing butter with them when they visited and I realised the error of my ways. I use spread for baking sometimes due to a family member with allergies but Flora is not going into my shopping trolley again.

Flora’s parent company have withdrawn advertising from Mumsnet for silly reasons.

If you google, various newspapers have the story.
