Irish brekkie in a cafe - would you accept dairyspreads?

podgeandrodge

This is not a poll about butter versus spreads - more about how strongy you feel about butter when having an Irish breakfast. Nor is it a debate on the healthiness of either.

This is a poll/thread on:

If you went into a cafe for breakfast and found that there was ONLY DAIRYSPREAD as an option for your toast/scone (I include Dairygold, Kerrymaid, and all the rest) would you

1) Complain/ask WTF and get up and leave your food and walk out
2) Grit your teeth and resentfully eat your butter free toast but pick a butter friendly cafe next time
3) Enjoy your breakfast - you might have a preference for butter but not enough for you to get raised blood pressure over
4) Enjoy your breakfast - you prefer spreads so this affront to butter lovers is of no consequence to you

I'm curious as to the result - been in 2 cafes recently and experienced this, would/could it affect their business...

Where is the Atari Jaguar option?

4 - I'm using spreads as long as as I can remember. If only butter were available, that would be ok too......I'm not very fussy either way.

Meh, I use whatever's available.

I hate butter and spreads so it's grand

This thread is so fúcking stupid and insignificant that I genuinely want to kill you, op.

Steve O

If they called it "brekkie" I wouldn't accept it.

Gran Hermano

Did they have nutella?

Chemical Burn

I'd ask the waitress to SPREAD her legs.

See what I did there, OP?

People can be so picky sometimes, but I refuse to believe someone would get upset over the difference between butter and dairygold/kerrymaid for a once-off breakfast.

Real butter in the spuds, dairygold spread on everything else. who would honestly complain about butter?

If there are the big 1kg bottles of Kandee ketchup on the table I'm walking out

I doubt there are many restaurants using real butter in spuds tbh.

Wouldn't let it bother me. Personally I'd be more concerned about whether they're using proper sausages/rashers and the like.

Nothing like a good ol greasy fry up to let you know you're alive..the morning after! :P

I probably wouldn't think anything of it at all, but I do prefer butter given the choice

lkionm

2 small lumps of butter and 1 plastic yoke of jam. What more do ye people want

Cienciano

I do the classic irish thing. Don't complain, when the waitress asks if I enjoyed my meal I say yes, but I never go back and tell everyone to avoid the place

This is what we need on AH. Pointless threads instead of Daily Mail headlines designed to wind people up

Captain Chaos

Don't eat butter so don't care, toast/bread either unless it's a sandwich.

I did, and both of them gave me Kerrymaid! They had no real butter.

Once they don't put dairy spread in a baked potato!

Marketing is truly amazing.

Those who doubt its power are idiots.

I mean watered down milk - and sold for a higher price!


and of course, unsaleable vegetable oil, mixed with soya protein or similar and sold as 'butter'.

Yup, we live in wondrous times.

If its not country butter I pissssss on the table and set the place on fire while lifting a plate of food on my exit. (don't fook with the culchies)

TOMs WIFE

Had Kandee ketchup recently (not in an eating establishment) - it is far nicer than I remembered.

Miss Lockhart

Butter and spread are both disgusting. Slimy saltiness.... ugh!

I hate butter and all spreads, bareback all the way.:cool:

Lapin

No.

I'd call the waitress over, and in the strongest Monaghan accent I could put on, I'd ask -

Where's the Champion Butthur hey ?

And if she said, "Arrr sure I've only got Kerrymaid" would you be polite?!

See last night that Dairygold have a ad on tv saying "butter it with dairygold". Using butter as a verb here is downright cheeky when it isn't butter.

In Asia, your butterpack comes straight from the freezer and brown bread doesn't exist. But like... Whatever.

Uh oh, I sense a massive law-suit case coming, why that's the most blatant case of false advertising Ive seen since the suit against the movie The Neverending Story.

Lando Griffins OTHER HALF

Butter.

Chuck Stone

I like my spread like I like my women.

In a neat package in the fridge?

efb

I like my butter like I like my men, cold and hard. And a salty aftertaste.

Henlars67

Real butter gives me heartburn. It also tastes horrible.

I used to do a bit of tiling. Putting adhesive on an individual tile instead of on the floor or wall was called "back-buttering".

I picked 2 as I wouldn't eat that butter substitute crap but tbh, if the breakfast foods themselves were really nice I'd probably go back.
