Margarine or Butter?

There is a dairy farm clasoe to us so we are able to get fresh milk (non-homogenized) and real butter for less than what you pay for it at a grocery store. In fact, it is about the same as regular milk and margarine and, since it is so fresh, it keeps longer than store-bought milk.

In fact, we thought my daughter and I were lactose intolerant until we started drinking that milk. We learned that it is not always the lactose that people can't tolerate, but something that happens to the milk when they homogenize it. Since we found this place I can drink real milk again and eat ice cream. Not to mention I can eat cornbread and milk again, which makes me happy.

 

Kind of off topic but ... when I was in high school I dated a girl with toddler brothers who would get the tub of butter out and get a table spoon and sit there and eat it. I don't think I can think of anything grosser than eating that.

 

Ick!

I remember scalding my tongue on some hot chocolate when I was a squirt and mother putting a blob of butter on my tongue. I don't remember if it helped though.

 

Butter or margarine, just so long as Marmite follows!

 

I always thought margarine was a butter substitute developed during the shortages and rationing of WWII. Somehow the turkey story sounds more than a little bit suspicious.

 

my kids love butter. I caught one eating a stick of it she had swiped from the fridge one time.
I do have to admit, however, that I remember helping my grandma church butter, and man, dippin' a finger in the church to get a taste was a real treat!

 

I prefer butter, my wife prefers magarine. I will let you guess which one is normally in our refrigerator

My daughters love to take a roll or piece of bread and load it up with butter/magarine and then lick it off and throw away the roll/bread

 

We're butter people here... you can tell why I'm overweight, maybe.

Reminds me of a totally unrelated saying my Dad used to say about temptation:

"If your head is made of butter, you don't sit next to the fire."

 

someone told me that you can put an open tub of margarine and an open package of real butter outside overnight and in the morning the butter will have been eaten and ants will be crawling on the package, the margarine will remain untouched.
That can't be a good sign! I'm stickin' to the butter.

 

This topic is hilarious

 

This topic reminds me of the phrase:


You have too much time on your hands!!

 

I echo mrcoon...

You all have butter things to do than this.

 

Wikipedia says it was first invented in Napoleon's day.

No dead turkeys, so we can all relax. A lot of arguments from the butter industry, though.

 

uhm...I meant churn.

 

Churched butter is infinitely preferable to unchurched butter.
