I believe that butter is a healthier choice than margarine but it's just too hard to spread. Occasionally buy the spreadable butter that usually works out to over $6 for 500g, a lot to pay. A few weeks ago friends told us how they make their own spreadable butter. Buy block butter, let it go soft then whip it with 50% quality virgin olive oil. It's great, affordable, spreads easily straight from the fridge, tastes good and is 100% natural.

" Butter is better than margarine", you bet it is.
Do you know who are the biggest buyers of inedible tallow from abattoirs? margarine manufactures. Fact not fiction.

I'm a butter person too.
Just picked up one of those covered butter dishes. Modern version of the ones that we used in my childhood. I've got my eye out for one of those very old rippled green glass ones that we used in the war years.
I'll try the Aldi spreadable stuff too.

Margarine is only one process off plastic.
I won't touch the stuff,even flies don't like it.

I eat Aldi's Sunnyvale Olive Oil Spread (margarine). I can't believe it's not butter.

Whenever I hear that statement, I can't help remembering The Hee Bee Gee Bees:
The golden rays of golden sun fall on your golden hair And I brush aside the golden sheet and see you golden there And I wonder what you and I are going to do all day But I can't think of anything I want to do or say And so I'll have to do what I did yesterday And sing you
Meaningless songs in very high voices With a thousand violins Meaningless songs in very high voices In a pair of tight gold jeans Meaningless songs in very high voices And Aaaaah!... whatever that means
The world is very very large And butter is better than marge And love is better than hate The world is very very big And bacon comes from a pig But it's you I really want on my plate So I'll sing you
Meaningless songs in very high voices And then a little scream... ah Meaningless songs in very high voices Peaches slopped with cream Meaningless songs in very high voices Until the record ends And when it does we'll simply start again Yelling
Meaningless words, meaningless words ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah Meaningless words, meaningless words ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah

Wow now that's a good idea. Yes we use butter and ours is very spreadable at the moment in this heat it's melting away!! I'll give your idea a go. Thanks. Butter is better.

yeah thanks Peter, just shows how much notice I take of what is going in the trolley. So I looked it up and a 500g salted or unsalted butter is @2.59. I was way off.

When I worked selling Arnotts biscuits, we had a SAO advertisement that went.
OFTEN BUTTERED..... NEVER BETTERED.
Still applicable today.
