butter/margarine

[Walt Whitman]

Life is too short to entertain inadequate substitutes.

It's the same difference between the well made hot lather whipped from a premium shave cream or soap, or goo in the can.

Wait, did I intend to say it that way?!?

Mantequilla. If I can't find that i'll settle for beurre.

Butter of course.
Margarine = trans fats = yuk in taste

I don't know if its true or not , but I heard margarine is one molecule away from being plastic. Just what I want on my toast in the morning

Butter for me...I've heard tell of this very same thing and I'm not much for eating plastic.

I cannot understand the use of margarine. I don't see it as having any health benefit, so why bother?
There's no comparison in taste or cooking value!

A perfect explanation.

Go butter, the cows gift to us.

No, sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence. I just was having a laugh, because there's so many topics on this board that fall into the "really?" category and most of them I think are fun to participate in...it cracks me up, some of the stuff guys ask other guys about here. Things that would never have come up in conversations with friends IRL.

You mean you've never discussed the merits of letting your boys hang loose in a pair of boxers with your RL friends? Or discussed how hard it is not to faceturbate in public? Or compared skincare regimens to see why Joe's face never seems to age?

I have butter and margarine in my household. I like butter but I haven't mastered the art of not leaving crumbs in it yet, much to Mrs. Chip's chagrin. As for why people would possibly eat margarine, I know a few lactose intolerant people and even butter causes them issues.

I voted for butter because duck fat wasn't an option.

Butter and as far as cooking with bacon fat....yep, none of those squirt cans of cooking oil for me.

Butter, of course!! Salted with Atlantic's flor de sal

Margarine! It has the word butter in the brand name and no trans fats.

 

[Confilo]

Mantequilla, mantequilla y mas mantequilla

 

[northpaw]

Is this the bigger better butter battle?

Butter, I'm allergic to most margarines.

Had to go with margarine - I'm allergic to all butters.
Don't eat much margarine, though, really.

 

[Confilo]

Don't tell me that the people who want to get rid of tallow are now after butter !

Certainly NOT margarine because Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

 

[DS/B MCS]

We only have Butter in our fridge

I grew up on margarine, but not all margarines are alike. It had to be Becel -I believe in the 'States it's marketed as "Promise" - It's high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and actually reduces your blood cholesterol level. It's got %80 less saturated fat than butter and no trans-fats. Plus, unlike most, if not all other margarine it actually tastes good, close to butter, but not in the artificial "im trying to taste like butter" way if that makes any sense.

Although now that I've moved out, it's butter all the way, you just can't bake or cook properly with margarine, and although I do occasionally enjoy it on toast, or especially to make my rare Kraft Dinner with, it's not worth keeping margarine around.

Don't forget.
