Just made an intersting observation this morning (well actually, the
last 3 mornings)

I've started to use Unsalted Butter instead of the normal stuff. With
the cold weather we're having, the normal stuff is a real pain in the
bum to spread. And now that they've changed their packaging, it's a pain
to cut the block to go into my butter container. So I bought some nice
sized (250g) blocks of unsalted butter. It tastes very similar, but the
main benefit is that it spreads sooooooooo much easier!!

I haven't had margarine since I was a poor Private (in the Army) with a
wife and 3 kids under 10yo.

Will never use it again, either.
