    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...

    ONLY DAIRYSPREAD when you go into a cafe for an Irish brekkie - do you: 155 votes

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
