Butter

Having started a thread on chocolate cake I hope you don't all think I eat unhealthy

I just wondered if any of you use butter? I have tried all the spreads and healthy options but my family will only eat Lurpak, I have tried to fool them but they can tell the difference especially my youngest.


The only other butter that matches it is President Butter.

Re: Butter

I use real butter. Actually, I splurge on imported Irish butter, as most American butter is so low in butterfat these days .......

Re: Butter

We use Lurpak too. Also like the President butter, that was the nearest in taste to the German butter I adored when out there, the name escapes me at the moment.

Re: Butter

Butter here and lots of it
I hate margarine, it may be ok for greasing door hindges but not my stomach.

To me butter is a natural food, no trans fats or hydrogenated rubbish in it. It may be classed as unhealthy by some because it a a saturated fat but I will take my chances. It also tastes good unlike margarine which tastes like Vaseline to me.

I also like Lurpak although it has become very expensive. I like Rachels Organic too and buy Waitrose own brand for baking.

Kitty, I'll refer you to my post of a few weeks back on this particular subject.ie. unhealthy not healthy so called spreads. I'm back on butter(the unsalted ones), and loving it. Goodbye Pro Vita, Benecol etc, stick them on your bicycle wheels instead!
