Re: Butter
Yes, that tale about butter and paws has been around forever; it probably came over on the Mayflower with the colonists cats! Leia likes butter and will always eat a bit; but one of my earlier cats, Patches, a brindled tortie, was absolutely mad for butter. I rehomed her when she was an adult cat, and had obviously been in a house with strict rules: she thought she wasn't allowed on the furniture for one thing. But ...... even though she knew jumping on a table was bad and stealing food was strictly verboten, she couldn't resist butter! Truthfully,sometimes I'd put the butter out and then pretend not to see when she hopped up and started licking. Yes, I know, not sanitary, but I just wiped off the edge where she'd licked ....never sick in a day! (I can visualize the non-cat people shuddering...
)More than you wanted to know about cats and butter.... ?
The butter thief dozing:

Re: Butter
Butter for me also. Not long ago my local shop was selling two tubs of Lurpak for £2.50 so I bought some. It is expensive over here and I have to have the spreadable, which is even dearer. I spotted similar tubs in Aldi and, although not Lurpak, I decided to try it and by heck, it's as close as it comes to tasting the same, at half the price.

As you spent time in Germany Mollie, do you remember the name of any butters? I adored one, but can't quite recall the name......I think it was something like 'Markenbutter', it was without added salt.
