Flora (and other margarine variants) V's Real Butter

SparkyTech · 2011-05-25 09:23:29

Was over in a friends house the other day for dinner. The only option laid out on the table for a little something to lash over the potatoes was Flora. However, like in our own household, the breadwinner buys this for his ''colestoral'' and ''healthy heart benefits''. I'm a cynical man by nature and suspect all this plant…

Real butter is divine, though it's a pain to spread on the toast/bread

If it's not real butter, Connacht Gold is the only alternative. Unsalted butter is up there with Dairygold in the shíte tasting league

Been done to death in the nutrition and diet forum

The answer is Butter is the healthiest, there is absolutely no doubts about it. Low fat spreads are highly processed ****e which are extremely unhealthy.

Most people only eat low fat spreads because they think it's healthier, IT'S NOT!!

Butter but not on toast.

Boiled egg mashed up in a cup with some butter and salt.

Connacht Gold (especially the low fat version) is so much tastier than every other butter ive ever tried. I'm actually amazed that one brand can be so far ahead....it is butter afterall

I like Benecol Buttery Taste. It has a buttery taste. Most of the other spreads taste vile. I can't believe that anyone can't believe I Can't Believe It's Not Butter isn't butter.

I only eat real butter, those fake ones taste like absolute crap. When I see Flora or I Can't Believe it's not Butter (really? Has anyone ever confused that sh1te with butter?) in other people's fridges I have to fight the urge to sneak them into the bin.

Preferably butter on toast.
Dairygold is actually OK, its the nearest to the real thing of all the spreadables I've tried.
Its inferior to butter tastewise but its in a different league to the UtterlyButterlys/TasteOfButter/ICantBelieve stuff.

Why does the poll say "Utterly Butterly/Dairygold/ Other 'real butter'"

I mean Utterly Butterly is about as much real butter as my hole is. I cant believe its not butter, is about as believable as a butter as my aforementioned backside is.

+1,000,000

The poll needs to be corrected to put butter on its own.

For spuds, sandwiches, toast or pretty much anything, the fakes can go f**k themselves.

Maybe spreadable butter like Connaught Gold, so that there's no hole in the sandwich, but butter all the way.

No point in living longer if you have to eat muck while doing so.

I don't know what butter you do be rubbing on yourself but it definitely doesn't sound like Flora.

Poor tiger cubs think Dairygold is real butter. FF have a lot to answer for.

Actual butter.

You know, not the type that sells itself as "dairy spread", but real butter.

I find anything else on toast utterly, unspeakably disgusting.
