Real Butter

starbelgrade

You can't beat it. Nothing tastes quite like it, or even half as good, yet in the supermarket, the shelves are full of sh*tey substitutes - Dairy "spreads", Low-fat "spreads", Utterly not Buttery, stuff that claims to lower your cholesteral etc etc.

What the hell is wrong with people. Real butter is savage!

peanuthead

Its actually better for you than all that crap too.


Honest to god.

I can't believe it's not butter.

Honest to god.

It contains essential fats that are healthy for you. People think butter makes you fat, well too much does, but in the right amount it helps you burn fat.

Nicest butter is "country" butter. Proper salty, churned butter. Nyom nyom.

Cannot stand any of the spreadable crap they try to pass off as butter. Dairygold spreadable is ok though.

definitely can't beat kerrygold have a hard time in foreign countries without the irish butter:p

I esp hate when people offer you butter and you're really looking forward to it but they end up giving you some sort of Flora thing instead. :mad:

Having tried Kerrygold in other countries I remember being back home and putting it on some bread and being shocked at how nice it actually was. So yeah, Kerry gold is nyom.

We need to find a new catchy slur for fake butter. Like Moose Piss or something, but more creative and to the point.

I was in Queen Elizabeth National Park in the wild wesht of Uganda. I went to a lodge and ordered some bread which came with... fcukin Kerry Gold butther! I couldn't believe it. I miss real butter.

Betty bought a bit of butter,
But the bit of butter Betty bought was bitter.
So Betty bought a better bit of butter,
To make the bitter butter better

Used to love going to my grannys when I was a kid cos we'd go out and pick mushrooms in the fields then just cook them on the range with a good smattering of real butter. Yum

Cant get much healthier than that.

It does not, not real butter, sure there's that much salt in it, you could always put it in the fridge every so often to keep it from going too melty.

End of summer when they still had the green bits on.
Wonderful taste. Sod the squirrels.

I usually leave the butter out a few minutes before I use it, but if I forget, I just put a lump of it on me toast & nuke it.

Butter is divine, a thing of the of the Gods. One of the reasons we live on this Earth.

Just leave it out for an hour or 2, let it go soft. Put in back in the fridge after, you'll be grand. Despite what the Mail types tell you, you'll be grand.

Seriously, putting a Tiger loaf in the oven and spreading Connacht Golld on top is worth dying for anyway. You haven't lived otherwise.

PS. H&S Guide. Advise taking the Tiger Loaf out of the oven first.

Barbequed steak, seasoned with salt, pepper & olive oil.. done on a real BBQ, none of those gas burning yokes, 4 mins each side tops, lovely chargrilled marks on it. Off the grill. Big slab of butter on top. Leave to rest, allow butter to melt. Eat.

The best non-sexual oral pleasure a man can get.

All this talk of butter is reminding me of "The Last Tango In Paris"
The actress in that film still can't eat butter to this day! LOL
