    "Virtual Butter" all the way, if only to spite the idiots behind those terrible ads.

    Whatever's healthiest, when they finally figure out which that is (Butter or Flora, butter or flora? :) ).

    Flora Buttery is actually really nice unlike the normal Flora.

    Real butter for human consumption

    The other stuff is good if trying to fit a new piston to a 2-stroke engine, or to stop a door from squeaking.

    spready stuff. having to leave real butter out of the fridge for several hours before using it is a pain in the ass.

    real butter always. we leave it out of the fridge, and store it in a press, so its never hard, and spreads quite easily:)

    Have to have real butter on toast or any other application where it melts.

    Dairygold turns quite nasty when it melts, like molten greasy plastic, why is this? Otherwise it's fine in sandwiches etc

    Connacht Gold "Butter", looks and tastes like the real thing, and is spreadable :) (and low fat)

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    Interesting article on real spreadable butter, and believe it or not apparently available in Ireland.

    Fearon's team reported its findings in a journal on Monday, the first disclosure of the science behind the "Pure Butter" product made by Dromona Quality Foods of Cullybackey, County Antrim. It is already on sale in Northern Ireland, and at Marks and Spencer outlets in Britain.

    Real butter always tastes best but it's a pain trying to spread it over fresh bread if butter is just out of the fridge!

    I wouldn't dream of using anything other than butter on spuddies :) or toast

    Champion butter is the best real butter!!!! but white bread is just too goddam crap and tears all over the place even tho i leave the butter out all the time.... you can never have too much butter!!!!

    Real butter all the way, baby.

    If it's cold, and the butter is a bit hard, I just take a bit, put it on a dish and stick it in the microwave for a few seconds till it's a tiny bit softer (and spreadable).

    I never use butter on sandwhiches though. Just toast, baked potatoes and the odd slice of brown soda bread. Maybe sandwhiches/rolls if they're bacon or scrambled egg ones. Mmmm.

    Yeah I don't like mixing butter with stuff like cheese/mayonaisse/coldslaw (is that how you spell it) etc. Disgusting.

    Real butter is superb. It has taste unlike those shi*ey spreads. God, but I really hate them. They're just an advertising gimmick to make people buy an unneccessary product.

    Butter isn't going to harm you, not unless you're eating a pound of the stuff every day. I use it all the time at home for cooking, you can't fry a steak, make good sauces or scrambled eggs unless you use butter. Nothing else is as good.

    And if you only use the spreads because they're spreadable, then buy a butter dish and keep the butter out of the fridge. It's salted anyway, so it doesn't need to be refrigerated.

    I'm with dudara - butter may be a little high in the fat department, but at least it's not pumped full of chemicals like the spreadible stuff.
