Anchor v Lurpak 😩

[KangarooKenny]

Forgive me for I have sinned, I bought Anchor spreadable because it was cheaper. Now my penance is that I have to eat it 😩

I prefer Anchor.
I'm missing the point completely, I know. Lurpak are having a laugh....750g instead of 1kg and they've upped the price too.

Because Lurpak is so much better IMO.

President spreadable is the way to go.

My favourite taste-wise is President, but I moved on to Netherend, I want to pay British farmers.

I buy blocks of grahams or lidls own Ayrshire butter in foil packs because it’s cheaper and tastier. I don’t keep it in the fridge either

Anchor (and Kerry Gold) tastes rancid to me.

My preferred butter is President, then Lurpack or own brand.

Never Anchor or Kerry Gold (not envy)

Anchor all the way for me, lurpack 🤮

Why do people buy spreadable butter? Just get a butter dish and keep it on the side. Even over the summer my butter kept perfectly.

We just buy own brand butter

And yes, it lives in a butter dish on the worktop

Buy a block of butter - much nicer, whether you like the anchor type flavour or the lurpak type flavour. You can keep it out all year in a butter dish & it's spreadable. Cheaper too.

Yep, own brand butter purchaser here, in a butter dish next to the toaster!
Why would you buy the soft stuff, which has oil in it?
just bought 6 packs of Sainsbury’s butter @ £1.45 a pack with nectar offer.

If you like Lurpak then just buy Lidl Danepak. Virtually identical and much cheaper (although price has gone up recently...)

I buy the Aldi version of anchor and we all love it! I grew up on anchor though.

Netherend is lock to me and I but it when I can - or Lidl South West butter when I can't

Lurpak for me. But we tend to buy Sainsburys block butter and keep it on the side apart from in the height of summer when it melts.

I buy spreadable because my cat is a dick who would happily break into a butter dish and eat it.

Yep, cat thieves (3 of them) in this house too, hence the need to keep it in the fridge. I wonder if I could get a heavy ceramic butter dish though, one that's too heavy for them to push along till it falls off the worktop and smashes? I do prefer real butter....

Just keep it in a cupboard?

We keep proper butter in a ceramic butter dish in a cupboard. Sometimes in the winter it’s a bit hard and 10 seconds in a microwave is enough to just about soften the top. It’s a small price to pay for proper butter rather than any spreadable and somewhat (imo) vastly inferior margarine.

Exactly the same.

Must admit i eyed up the block butter today . I didn't buy it because I don't have a butter dish so that would cost me more

Lurpak or president. Never anchor!

Blocks of lurpack here

I moved abroad and lost the taste for English/Irish butter, which tastes too salty now for me. So my vote is for President or local supermarket semi-salted. It's gone up from 3.95 to 4.55 for 500g in the last few months though

Always chop off a chunk at a time and keep in a dish on the worktop. It turns to slurry in summer so I just put less out.
