Butter Thread

Not at all. She's a cute little gal. Now they've take her away. Boo hoo. It used to be fun to cut out her kneecaps and put them on her chest. (with a flap).

Yeh, i remember as a boy stealing the butter box and folding it to make it look like she's naked. Cheap thrills. Now, I just peruse the lingerie section of amazon for my thrills... like a man.

Sorry. I see now the Land 'O' Lakes matter had been well covered. I can't eat margarine. Will look for something better than Land 'O' Lakes next shopping.

I almost posted the same thing! ?
Rite of passage for grade school boys. Now kids see too much too easily. We had to work for our cheap thrills, dammit! And then use our imaginations, because those were still knees! ?

So, i wasn't the only one to steal national Geographic magazines from school, and sneak them into my room when I got home?

They're using margarine in Borat's movie remake: "Last Lapdance in Pittsburgh" with Kathy Griffin.

If you like margarine, that's fine... but it is as close as powdered creamer is to dairy. Put a tub of margarine and a tub of butter in your yard for a few days. The bugs will not touch the margarine, and it will never turn. It just stays like it is when you buy it. Butter will all be gone as the bugs just eat that stuff up. It's really not even a food. Closer to an industrial lubricant.

For sure. I’m just saying you’re not eliminating the dairy so eat the good shit. Haha

My father-in-law grew up in Croatia and he introduced me to bacon grease and onion sammies. I use toasted sourdough. They are out-f'ing-standing. I had used bacon grease for many things but never as a sammy spread. Great stuff.

HAVE YOU SEEN CROATIAN MEN?????

SHIT... HOW BOUT THEIR OLD WOMEN?!?!?!

not a look to want to achieve.

Filtered? fridge? how about poured straight into a kettle kept on the back of the stove?

Yep. It's preserved by its own wholesomeness. No refrigeration required.. same with mayonaise.

Once upon a time I was stuck without butter, but had some cream so I went on to make butter from the cream. It was basically only good for a day as I didn't wash it with water as is needed, but have been making butter at home from time to time when there's a special occasion.

As for commercial, I prefer local products (Greek).

I’m in the Kerry gold camp as a STARTING POINT for butter. Anything below that is sub par IMHO. I was on the butter coffee kick for a few years. Kerry gold is great for that because of its rich flavor but also it is full of vitamins. It’s like grocery store ground beef vs Kobe beef. There is no real comparison. Flavor, quality, etc. I also won’t boil rice or noodles or potatoes etc in tap water (Phoenix has bad tap water) nor will I use tap water to make tea or coffee. I can literally smell it across the house if coffee is made with tap water.

Just throwing this out there:

If you're making sammiches, and discover you're out of butter, hummus is a tasty substitute.

Also works in lieu of mayo.

My preference is butter, but if we’re “going there”, I absolutely prefer Kerry Gold over other forms.

But the real question at hand is Chunky v Smooth Peanut Butter?

Crunchy

And avocados. I love avocados and hummus on sandwiches.

I love any good butter. Kerrygold is great, Beurre D'Isigny is amazing. Finlandia is pretty good. I won't turn down Land o' Lakes either. Vital Farms is the only one I'll turn up my nose to; it's a little odd tasting.

I'm up the hill north of you. Water here sucks!

I like hummus.. but how do you mean Substitute? like to make butter toast?

As a spread. I'm particularly fond of fried egg sammiches with hummus instead of mayo.

I should say it's for when the flavor is savory and not sweet. I don't think I'd care for hummus and jelly.

 

[shanez]

Hummus on toast instead of butter is also good.

Buy plain Icelandic yogurt and then mix in about 5-10% Nutella, it practically tastes like cake icing but is very high protein.
