Spreadable butter...

[Digby]

Gift of the gods or work of the devil? Not so keen on rapeseed oil myself, so always go for full fat (usually 60%+ butter content) spreadable, but what do y'all use. Do you prefer the convenience of spreadable or is rapeseed oil/spreadable butter bad and to be avoided at all costs?

Nothing at all. I dislike butter on bread unless it’s herb butter And even then only when slightly warm.

 

[hex168]

I prefer olive oil anyway.

You lot, as adults, put sprinkles on your breakfast, so can hardly be trusted with this serious matter

Ok, but what about in a sandwich or on toast?

Well, I don’t eat herb butter with normal daily breakfast or lunch sandwich

But yes we also eat sprinkles, but personally I don’t care too much for them. Actually there is one exception that I make with butter:

But that’s purely out of convenience, not taste.

Mostly cream cheese with herbs.

Real full fat butter or nothing. Butter should never be kept in the fridge. Use a proper ceramic butter dish and it will always be spready.

However, there's nothing like a bap spread with the cheapest catering margerine, bacon and a packet of salt 'n' vinegar crisps ... ;-)

They are sugar coated anise seeds We call them “muisjes” (mice, because of the small tail coming out of it)

Traditional treat to celebrate a birth, but occasionally also as breakfast or lunch.

I only use butter for cooking. Salted can be left out, but I use unsalted, best to be refrigerated...

Ohms

The high omega-6 industrial seed oils have been implicated in a myriad of health issues, they didn't exist in the human diet until the late 1800s, best to avoid them as there is no real reason to have them in your diet...

cholesterol is the substrate for just about everything important in physiology...yet the medical community has no problem screwing around with it based on a blood test that is a snap shot in time...then again there's big $ in statins...

All together, crisps in with the bacon...?

proper 100 percent butter here. None of that margarine stuff or butter blended with the bi-products of some chemical process and dyed to look palatable.

Okay it's hard to spread but I only have it on waffles so I just put chunks on and let it melt.

Full-fat milk too. Not paying the same price for something they have watered down.

I'm a big fan of cow-related products. The way I see it, the cow gets to wander about in beautiful fields for a few years and maybe once in a while it even gets to trample some hikers to death. It gives us butter milk and cheese daily and then a steak dinner at the end. It's a win all round.

Only butter I use is Kerrygold (Irish grass fed), anything else is simply not butter. Keeps fine in the kitchen cupboard and spreads fine.

I have a butter dish like this one on the counter:

It keeps a slab of spreadable butter ready at all times.
