My man doesn't like butter
What a freak!!!

[boomba]

Bron Dh complains that i put too much butter in the potaoes ppft you can never have too much. He doesnt like it on much either ....oh well more for me

[sneakysparkle]

Today I realised I just need to sit my knife in hot water before I spread my butter - like the old saying "like a hot knife through butter"

LOVE fresh hot buttered popcorn
Or on vegemite toast!

Doesn't like butter? How does that work? Weeeeyord!

I have only until recently started buying a small block of butter each week to keep in the fridge to cook/bake with, and being more inclined now to buy with my DD's health in mind !!

As i have always had a concern of butter will just help me 'put on weight' How silly of me after all these years in thinking that when there is more than likely something else i buy that substitutes that concern (??)

Butter DOES taste better than marg ... and 'most' things i bake with marg don't always turn out that great !!!

I'm soooo interested in this thread to learn about the different brands of butter & why people are buying them

So far i'm just buying Coles or Aldi brand 'unsalted' butter ... why i don't know BUT thought it's a start

The harmonie organic one is delicious, but the lurpak, both normal and slightly salted is just as tasty and is a permanent in our home. If I'm feeling particularly adventurous lol, its that with lemon butter on toast and black tea, yum!

Always have a 500g block ready for baking. DH likes the spreadable one, which is getting expensive, so I would like to get him off it.

I like the Devondale block butter, but can only find it at Safeway and only in 250g blocks.

Mmmmmmmm butter. Love it. Especially on scones.

DD is also a butter freak. If it's still quite hard, she will pick it off a scone. Infact, the other day she just kept pointing at the tub of butter calling, "more, more" and I must admit I gave little pats of JUST butter to her. She's as skinny as a rake and seems to know what her body needs - like when she had a cold she had three mandarins in one sitting - must have known vitamin C would be good. So I didn't feel tooooo bad about The Butter Incident.
