Butter or Margarine?

[CalBoy]

So for the past two months I've started to use butter on my toast instead of margarine, and I can't imagine how I went all those years without it!

Our family used to use butter back before margarine was recommended over butter. Now we're going back to butter, and I can't believe what a difference it makes on something as simple as toast.

So what about y'all? What do you guys spread on your toast?

I recently switched to butter as well. I, too, am thoroughly impressed.

It might seem trivial, but it makes a huge difference. Only after butter deprivation does one realize how much one has missed. 😉😛

Isn't it much better? Plus now we don't have to worry about transfats. 😛

Butter = sexy, intelligent and caring woman who works as a supermodel in-between her work as a cancer researcher.

Margarine = second-hand blow-up doll with a slow leak.


You decide.

Unsalted butter has no rival. Scrumptious. Margarine is simply no contest whatsoever.

For a comfort-food breakfast absolutely nothing beats a piece of toast with melted butter, cinnamon and sugar on it. Margarine would be a foolish substitute.

Leave the stick of butter out at room temperature for a little while and it will spread as well as margarine, also.

I literally lol'd at that. 😀

One of our more "colorful" clients believed "margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic." Really believed...

Except of course salted butter. ...Salt makes everything taste better. 😀

 

[ZiggyPastorius]

Neither. I still can't believe it's not butter! 😀

Just kidding. I prefer real butter, but I'm not a fan of buttery products at all, so I don't eat it hardly ever.

I only like salted butter on bread...not toast or anything else, though I grew up with sweet butter so it could be that I've just been conditioned that way.

What do you mean by "buttery products?" Like cakes or other desserts? 😕

The type that comes with garlic is also pretty good. 😉

This video explains it (@ around 1:20) ... in short, I prefer the taste of butter

You can't have toast and Marmite with margarine. Just doesn't work.

Rachel's Organic Slightly Salted for me, and lots of it.

 

[Zwhaler]

I usually eat margarine, and I notice no taste difference between it or butter (seriously).

This video explains it butter, sorry i mean better.

to be honest im not sure what i believe now. Given the choice butter all the way for me.

Butter butter butter but be careful

Butter gets the thumbs up for me also , but we have to remember our cholesterol levels a little to much of a good thing can be bad. But all the same butter is far far nicer on toast than boring old marg 😀

 

[SpaceMagic]

I'm an Unsalted Butter eater.

Look at it this way:

Leave a stick of butter outside overnight and next to it a pot of Margarine...

Let's just say I trust insects when it comes to good food 😉 not one will touch the marg. It's plastic, fake tasting yuk.

Interesting perspective. 🙂

I take it you eat a lot of crap too, then. Ever seen the flies on a cowpat? 😉

It's gotta be butter, I find butter tastes far richer than margerine, goes well with bacon 😀.

 

[Gray-Wolf]

Both actually. They have their uses. Butter for potatoes and such, Margarine for cooking in, and that, the No Transfat version then. My butter use is reduced these days.
