Do you use real butter?


Or the fake kind like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter ?

Now here is a way to butter corn on the cob!

I've used both but I'm back to only real butter. Years ago, I saw what happened one time when I made garlic toast. I was using up the last of some margarine (cheaper than butter) and ran out. So I reached for the butter. When I put the bread under the broiler to toast it, the butter pieces browned nicely. The margarine ones didn't brown at all, were still yellow, and just looked soggy. Yuck! I was immediately converted to go back to the real thing.

For what?

Ever see Last Tango in Paris?

That's is exactly what I was alluding to. And no, I would never use butter in that manner though. LOL

reply

I'm not allowed in the room of the cooking, so I don't know.

reply

no , i use any old cheap yellow shit you can spread on your bread.
Mostly becasue real butter is unspreadable

all tastes roughly the same ....

reply

I never used to realize this, but you do not need to refrigerate butter.
So, just keep your butter outside of the refrigerator.
Or ... just get a very small and sharp butter knife and slice the cold pats of butter very, very thing.

reply

I don't keep mine in the fridge . I put half a block in the butter dish and leave it on the side. Spreads perfectly at room temp.

reply

I have a butter dish that holds a 1/4 pound stick of butter, that stays on the counter. The rest goes in the fridge because it may be a while before I need to replenish the butter dish.

Well, actually I have two butter dishes so that when the first one is almost gone, I bring out another stick and put in the second dish so it's soft and spreadable, ready for next time.

Neither

whata sad 1000 post you made there, I'm dedicated to Parkay

reply

I didn’t notice 😂....not sad though....I’m glad I’m not filling myself with dairy or processed, coloured fat emulsion.
I don’t know who or what you mean.

Parkay is a margarine made by ConAgra Foods and introduced in 1937. It is available in spreadable, sprayable, and squeezable forms. Parkay was made and sold under the Kraft brand name by National Dairy Products Corporation from 1937 to 1969, then Kraftco Corporation from 1969 to 1976 (Helpful Andy).

Sprayable😳 ..... American i presume

reply

Available in Canadia too.

reply

Ah ok! Sounds like a horrible big industrial processed thing that I would expect.
Sprayable?!
Squeezable....? And it’s not cheese?
These things sound so weird....and American lol.
Thanks Andy!

Oh yeah, only in Murica, lol.

Oh I had to read that more than once because I thought you’d misspelled Murcia! 🤦🏼‍♀️😆

🤣👍

When I was a lad I think we used margarine because it seemed handy and innovative and possibly cheap but eventually I wised up to using good ol' butter, whatever store brand is the least expensive.

However, and this is not meant as a commercial endorsement, recently I ran across some kind of genuine Irish butter that comes in a tub rather than measuring sticks. It's purportedly tastier than regular butter but I'm not sure why. Kerrygold is the brand, I think.

reply

Yeah, kerrygold is nice 👌

Butter for last Tango only!
