Spreadable butter
Permalink  

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:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010814092100/http://www.mikefs.co.uk/HBGB.html

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?strip=1&q=cache:http://lyrics.wikia.com/The_HeeBeeGeeBees:Meaningless_Songs

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.
