all the time i am eating from the trashcan. the name of this trashcan is ideology


My parents were the kind of people who used margarine, reasoning that it was healthier. They also each smoked a pack a day. Weird, weird people. Seriously, margarine blows. I love butter because I can taste it; it adds to food, rather than just providing some kind of lubrication or stickiness. No ingredient should be that utilitarian.

I tried using margarine for a while because it was way cheaper for my breakfast of two slices of toast, but even at my poorest, I couldn't handle that poo poo. It found its way into the bin so fast.

gently caress margarine.

Besides, mayonnaise serves the important purpose of forming a hydrophobic barrier on your bottom slice of bread, keeping it dry and structurally sound. It isn't some binding agent.

Also it's tasty.

In Germany you can buy butter mixed with a small amount of vegetable oils that is spreadable even at refridgerator temperatures. It still tastes like pure butter.

No it doesn't. Here in Australia we have similar oil added spreadable butters. Western star (local brand), Lurpak (euro brand), a couple of other Euro brands plus even some local brands that use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
But we also have "Mainland" brand from NZ, spreadable butter with no added oil, just glorious salt. It is superior and I can taste the difference compared to the premium import euro brands that have oil added.

Same, I use butter even though it's way more expensive, it's worth it. I would cry if I couldn't get Mainland spreadable butter even though it's $6 for 375g compared to margarine which is $2.

Generally, better for making cakes than butter, worse for making icing.

Subway in :australia: has always had pineapple (but I think they charge extra for it now?). A veggie sub with pineapples and jalapenos was always my go-to when I went to Subway.

In summer it melts, and in winter it stays just as hard out of the fridge as in. On the other hand, cold butter isn't actually that hard to spread.

At the first job I worked (a small-town ISP with like four employees), one lady by the name of Susan ran tech support and spent most of the day on the phone. She was about 60, extremely tall and skinny, and had fingernails about three inches long which she used to constantly scoop from a little dish of butter by her keyboard and eat it all day long.

The lesson I should have taken from this was "butter is okay to leave out", but I guess I didn't for some reason.

Margarine is clearly superior to butter. It spreads easier and tastes better.

The fear of margarine and the power the dairy lobby is an interesting historical footnote.

quote:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margarine
In Canada, margarine was banned from 1886 until 1948, though this ban was temporarily lifted from 1917 until 1923 due to dairy shortages. Nevertheless, bootleg margarine was produced in the neighboring Dominion of Newfoundland from whale, seal, and fish oil by the Newfoundland Butter Company and was smuggled to Canada where it was widely sold for half the price of butter. The Supreme Court of Canada lifted the margarine ban in 1948 in the Margarine Reference. That year, Newfoundland negotiated its entry into the Canadian Confederation - one of its three non-negotiable conditions for union with Canada was a constitutional protection for the new province's right to manufacture margarine.

ugh, you gross assholes eat foodstuffs? let me tell you about foodstuffs. i only know what foodstuffs tastes like because i ate it once and i immediately went into convulsions of alternating puking, making GBS threads, barfing and stigmata. the only time i've ever seen a person enjoy foodstuffs, it was a fat white american (lol redundant). he must've eaten like five tons of that foodstuffs with a diet coke because he is fat white american.

foodstuffs is gross, i don't know why everybody doesn't just live off of lightly steamed other foodstuffs with only all natural organic other other foodstuffs available at your local wholefoods.

Once, when fairly high, I poured myself a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios only to find we were out of milk. However, we did have apple cider, so I thought what the hell. Big mistake. Even with serious munchies, I could only manage a few bites before I threw the whole mess out. Neither thing is overly sweet on it's own, but combining the two made something so incredibly cloying it actually made my lips pucker.
