I always buy butter in wrapped 500g blocks instead of tubs, then I can use a cheese slicer (scandi style) on the top and I don't ever have to bother with difficult to spread butter, or buy soft-spread stuff which isn't as good.

I just leave my butter out in a butter dish and it’s almost always spreadable (unless it’s really really cold) because I’m middle class as gently caress

Just lol if you don't have one of the things where you keep the butter upside-down in a little moat of water. great for stopping the butter going nasty but always spreadable. You do have to change the moat-water regularly tho

I have no idea what the gently caress you are talking about.

And also just keep butter in a butter dish and it will be fine to spread in all but the coldest weather.

I think what is being described is a butter dish with a water seal, but I don't know where the "upside down" comes in. Perhaps it is some sort of butter isomer.

If you think of a tub of butter as having a lid, "upside down" would be with the lid at the bottom.

I make my own butter and all you need is the ball whip attachment for a kenwood mixer, cream, and the trust and patience to watch it go through the stages till your ball is filled with butter.

Butter is probably the first food where the Vegan alternative has outdone the original. Olive spreads are better than either butter or margarine now.

One of the first at least. There's probably some old food where the base was made of pork rinds or something and everyone now just pretends that it wasn't. Maybe that's why you can't get Start now.

feedmegin posted:

American recipe? You buy butter there and it comes in a rectangular cardboard box, and inside are four individually wrapped sticks, and on the stick is marked each tablespoon, 8 to a stick. So you just slice at the appropriate point.
Exactly how that works depends on where you are. I've seen the long East Coast style ones in France too though.

This is correct, I refer to olive spreads as margarine because I can't be hosed explaining it to most people and its easier. I also refer to it as butter around my household, probably mostly to annoy twisto.

And you need far less conversations with your cardiologist (or hepatologist, even outside of ethical concerns people eat way too much animal fat and you do not want gallstones).

My wife's family has used these exclusively since the 90s. She regards my introducing her to butter as one of the greatest benefits of our relationship. We have two children.

Finally escaped house arrest, having had to do the full 11 days. Used my freedom to do a 5km walk at 7am.

And now back to the grindstone of working at home...

Edit: I use Olivio to reduce unhealthy fats in my diet, but the idea that they are superior to the lovely, lovely taste of butter is just bullshit talk.

Feta is great. I do wish it wasn't quite so damp, though.
