To think the lidl version of utterly butterly smells like arse and taste weird.

My DP brought this stuff home the other day rather than a normal butter. I didn’t think anything of it, we’ve used utterly butterly before; I just prefer real butter on things like potatoes, toast ect.

However I put this on my potato’s and it instantly smelt like arse. I ignored it, put it down to pregnancy. But it also tasted like what I imagine a sweaty 4 weeks work pair of pants would when they’ve been left damp and moulding. It’s absolutely vile. DP is a super no-waste person and won’t buy me a new butter until we’ve used this stuff up but my gosh it’s eye watering to eat.

Anyone know the one I’m on about or is it just my pregnancy nose/taste buds?!

Ive never noticed that tbh. Its v cheap so i used to get it when skint. Tastes fine too.

Honestly, make dp finish it and get yourself some proper butter. He chose it. It sounds vile, but most butter substitutes aren’t very nice IMO.

Chuck it anyway (what’s with the “won’t let you”? Sod that). Or pretend to eat some and then vomit extravagantly over him. Or put it in his tea.

@FictionalCharacter ah I’m sure if I just threw it away he would go and get me something else but when I’ve mentioned replacing it I always get a ‘we need to use this one or it will get wasted’ lecture. so I always feel a bit guilty as we are strapped for cash at the mo!

Perhaps the next time I venture to the shops (I work from home with the toddler so he mainly does the shop trips on his way home from work) I’ll have to buy some myself and he can use the smelly weird one Grin

I would throw it in the bin.

We are a butter only household

fantasmasgoria1 · 20/12/2021 04:48

Utterly butterly and it's many supermarket versions are all rank!

FictionalCharacter · 20/12/2021 04:52

Yep - buy yourself some nice butter, hide it behind something else in the fridge and let him use up the arse-scented abomination so he doesn’t “waste the money” Grin

I’ve always found it perfectly fine… Perhaps it’s your cooking that smells like arse and tastes of sweaty pants and your husband bought it out of long suffering desperate revenge?

BritWifeInUSA · 20/12/2021 05:47

Go one better and make your own butter. So easy and tastes much better.

queenofarles · 20/12/2021 07:55

That’s a bit extreme Britwife Grin,

I’ve never tried utterly or any other non butter variations.

I bake a lot and good quality butter makes a huge difference .

@OneRuleForThem that would make sense as I always boil my potatoes with my sweaty britch instead of bay leaves then proceed to rub my area against them for a little extra flare. Could be me.

Must admit that I don't like the lidl version, the rest of the family do though.
